Angelina Jolie of Agartha believes in peace first.  Only if peace fails will she send in her giants, fire elemetals, earth elementals, and umbrals.  So far, relations have been equitable with both my neighbors T'ien Ch'i and Arcosephale.  I have also briefly shared a border with a sight-seeing army from Pangea, but they were just passing through.

(Apologies for the lack of roleplaying, but I've overextended myself.  I'm not exactly *struggling* to get my turns in, but I don't have as much free time now as when the game started.  Note that I'm in no way considering leaving, you guys have been a great group of players, but I haven't been able to expostulate as much as I otherwise might.)

Well, I haven't conquered half the known world like you! 

A single commander builds as fast as if the same commander has soldiers. I think its better for game-play if it takes a set time irregardless of the number of troops as it can be a decision will you have time to get a fort up before the enemy comes visiting. The risk is in losing the gold invested.

For siege, the more the better and each unit counts as doing 1 damage (if sieging) or 1 repair (if sieged). Flying troops count as better than non-fliers (+1 per troop for repairing or tearing down) and mindless troops are only 10% effective for repairing walls, not too sure if also 10% for tearing them down. Some troops, such as most EA Agartha troops, have a bonus to tearing down walls. Some give a bonus to repairing walls. The "Wall Shaker" magic item gives a commander +50 to tearing walls down.

If the purpose of your invasion of Ermor is to look for virgin women, I think you will be disappointed. After last month's orgiastic harvest festival in honour of Hef, I'm not sure that we have any more.

I have not received the file, have PM'ed you to confirm the email address.

Let it be known to all that the Kohenim Council revokes the non-agression pact between the kingdom of Hinnom and Ermor. In three turns from now, all men, giants and beasts able to stand in battle lines are called to raise their hands, weapons, paws, tentacles and claws against the decadent followers of the new, jealous and malevolent god, whose perverse teachings are a mockery to our Grigori ancestors and whose intolerant and twisted followers swarm across the land like locusts.

Let these blasphemous words be erased from the minds of men, let their arrogant and decadent temples lie in ruins, let their false pretender's blood wet the bodies of their dying soldiers, let Omniphagus emerge from his ancient prison and devour them all, so that their very existence is forgotten forever.

Once again, Hinnom marches to war! 

So... a day off? Great, I am finally going to get some work done, instead of thinking about my Dom3 plans all the time

I guess everyone is taking a day off.

I think I saw a tumbleweed blow across the thread.

Looks like Abysia is dead... Thanks for playing, Emerson. Hope to play with you again some day.

The Council has heard the news that came across the Bay, and will honor the memory of the fallen Abyssian kingdom as customs dictate - with prayers and incense. The Abyssian flame comes from the fiery depth of the world itself - it can grow dim at times, but it can never be extinguished altogether.

Troops have been gathered, virgins sacrificed, demons summoned.  Our generals are equipped and the fodder have been prepped.  The dead have risen, and our people howl as the war machine is running at full force.  The invasion of Ermor starts next month, when the troops will be given the order to move.  The bloodlust has set in, and one way or another, it needs to be quenched.

How will our blood crazed monkey demons stand up to the mighty legions of Ermor.  Stay tuned to find out!

I would love to play, but right now, I am spent, the game quite demanding in terms of time invested into studying spells, unit stats, scheming, planning, etc. This is my third MP game - I don't know if I still qualify as n00b for your purposes.
