Abysia has decided to show its support for poor beleaguered C'tis by launching a sneaky, underhanded, dirty rotten backstab, in Marignon's general direction.

Sadly, it was a complete failure.

Happily, there was very little loss of life.

C'tis welcomes Abysia's entry into the war of defense against fanatical aggression... fear not, your defeat is but a momentary thing. Marignon will find it most difficult to get much use out of its disease ridden force currently in C'tissan territory, and C'tis would also like to announce a significant victory over the Machakans as they attempted to storm one of our Fortified Cities. The defensive power of C'tis is considerable indeed, especially as it was apparent that nearly every Machakan soldier in that army (approximately 300 strong) was severely diseased.

In other news death and disease continues to ravage Machaka's home front, creating massive unrest and causing substantial losses among the civilian population. It is questionable as to how much longer Machaka can keep up the war effort in the face of such a ravaged civilian economy. Marignon is also feeling the effects of C'tissan power, although on a somewhat lesser scale.

All Marignon is feeling is the love of Teh Bird.

Well and after seeing the turns and reading the forums thoroughly, Marignon is feeling a bit sad and a bit holy wrath comes up. We don't know what wicket spiritii befell Abysia for doing these silly things. If Abysia reconsiders its plans and joins in the fight against C'tis, which is, as all but the blind can see almost over, as C'tis holds only little lands and his animals are deserting, they shall be forgiven. If not: Soon the victorious main force will be on its way back (or more likely rush forward through the last few C'tis provinces and end up in the back of you, Abyisa) and I hope for you, you are ready.

As Abysia's population declines, we must look for new lands. The fair and bright cities of Teh Bird shine with the light of the stars and sun, and the people of Marignon are pure and unspoiled. What better place to live?

We are not interested in going to go live in a bunch of sickening bogs and swamps.

P.S. Actually, a bunch of devils made us do it.

The C'tissian propaganda over rates his own victory. While he loses a province a month or more, he claims victory!! Yes, the Machakans are sick and dying, but dying in honor, none the less. It is an honor to die in service to rid the world of the C'tissian menace. The Machakan force will return in greater numbers, and victory will be ours!!!!!

[Leaving role playing mode] Lwarmonger, let me give you kudos. Your sleep clouds were very effective. Perfect use of that spell. By concentrating sleep clouds just before the castle gates, my spiders all were unconscious, just standing there giving you uncontested target practice!!!! Also the rain was a good decision, as they mitigated a lot of the effects of flaming arrows. I also am not sure what you are using to spread disease and unrest?? Maybe black servants with bane venom charms??? Maybe harvesters of sorrow?? But they damn sure are working!!!!!!

Good gaming....fun to play against someone who knows what they are doing!!!!

[lwarmonger]

Lol... this is the first time I've played C'tis multiplayer (although I'm currently also playing C'tis in Origin), and after I lost the first few battles in the open field rather decisively against Marignon, I decided that fighting a defensive war of attrition was the way to go. As long as I hold my cities I can win in the end, and turtling is something that C'tis does surprisingly well. Even if I lose I think I may write up a little strategy guide detailing some of the things I learned from this game, as there is very little in terms of help in the index.

And so the Pythium war machine roars to life!

Though Marignon offered tribute to war with Abyssia, the Machaka situation was to good to pass up. His forces marching around in a swamp getting malaria, I was at good spot in research. Abyssia on his way to getting even stronger making time my enemy. Could care less about the plight of the lizards. What's next, defending owls? I jus saw a chnace to grab some territory.

[jimkehn]

O, won't anyone help poor, peaceful Machaka? We are saving the world from the dreaded Lizard induced Liardroccus Virus, and no one will help. To top it off, Pythium kicks Machaka while we are lying on the ground, grovelling in our own puke. O what sadness befalls the women and children of Machaka as their men valiantly stave off the malicious diseases. Defeating the lizards in droves......only to find hordes more just around the bend. O, the unfairness of it all!!!

[cupido2]

How looks can deceive. Marignon thought that Pythium was the only civilized nation besides Marignon. But it turned out that only the noble wild men of Machaka are pure of soul and can be trusted while Pythium showed his disgusting face. The face of an opportunistic warmonger, praying to the god Mammon, sacrificing their souls to gain personal wealth and killing the heroic people of Machaka, who we think of as our childern.
Teh Bird shall have his revenge on you, Pythium, and we hope your people are infected by the C'tis disease before they are burnt on the stake.
