[sqeecoo]

Bros, I'm travelling and probably won't have the time to do tha turns today. Could I have an extension until Monday? For d22 and d20 as well (I've played this turn for d20). Thanks and sorreh!

Beneath the city of tombs, lies a vast mausoleum covered in arcane runes. Some say each glyph or sigil ever created by a sapient being, each phrase of love or spite ever written, has been painstakingly etched on those dusty walls, either to keep what lies within entombed or to keep the world away from it, as to keep it pristine. Undefiled.

Deep there, a sleepy, hazy consciousness awakens. It stirs. It thrashes in its dreams, casually ruining the existences of some of those unfortunate enough to be living under its vision. It doesn't notice. It dreams. It longs for... It speaks.

Lizard likes heat! Thanks for the summer throne fuckers!

Seriously, It's exactly what I needed to turbo boost my troops, which were seriously hampered by winter. It launched C'Tis into what's effectively my record expansion. Both in MP and SP, with this or any other nation! Thanks again coldcrow. I'll send you a fire gem!

 

[Grif]

That wasn't very nice of you, bats.

 

[Dayyālu]

That wasn't very nice of you, bats.

I can't even see where the fuck I am going, i'm like blind, man.

And I'm already boxed in with shit troops and no chance to do anything.

LA Xib is awesome like that.

 

[Grif]

Well I'm not sure how else to interpret on what seemed like an unprovoked attack on my capring province no less.



You do have my sympathies on the shit expansion part there.

 

[Matalarata]

This is what Xibalba wants you to believe:

and this is Dayyālu opening this turn's messages:

I had no idea that was in your capring.

It was a forest. I go into forests.

 

[Matalarata]

And I go into wastes but I refrain from randomly attacking into them goddammit

Spoiler

Wish there were any wastes I could randomly dive into, were I spawned.

On a sidenote, our reliable scouting infrastructure brought us the position of three other nations! We still lack some, like the reclusive (lol), bloodthirsty giants, mentioned briefly in dusty, forbidden tomes...

"...an old legend states that there's power in Pearls. Not any pearl, mind you. Sometimes liquid fulgor falls from the skies, coalescing into irridescent rounded shapes. Now and then, a simple clam or a mussel falls in love with a star and bears a single, multicolored treasure. Some say, that if one was to keep such a Pearl clutched in his hand, he'd only have to repeat thrice: "I sacrifice this one for the glory of the King" for something magical to happen. The pearl would disappear from his closed fist and he'd find a single enchanted gem left in its place. According to the legend, the color of said gem, either red, blue, ochra or green, reflects the innermost desires of the one expressing the wish. Old tales are hazy and unfocused but they do have one point in common. Doing so will bring upon us the reign of the King Without a Land. Though, for sure, modern kingdoms have more serious matters to worry about than decrepit boogeymen, better suited for scary hatchlings-tales..."

Spoiler

Since I've been asked. WILL TRADE E, N, F and W for S, if it wasn't clear

 

[Grif]

Requesting turn timer to be extended to 48 hours now that it is past turn 12.

 

[Dayyālu]

- Earthquake strikes cap 9k dead and Trog attack
- huge pack of sea dogs destroys fort building on last turn

Ohh boy this game is sure cozy

GODFUCKDAMMIT

 

[Matalarata]

Always use some protection when building forts... Day, you're a veteran. Shame on you.

Here's what I'm doing for example:

Spoiler

Four cavemen can stop any cavalry event. Four cavemen can stop any cavalry event. Four cavemen can stop any...
etc

 

[Dayyālu]

It had protection. Zotz, I realize, are not protection in the sense I understand.

They're like "chinese protection", now I understand.

 

[Matalarata]

Thx to Illwinter, poison slingers have been upgraded. Now instead of those boring puffs of noxious fumes you have:

Spoiler

Glitterdust!




I think it's a bug I wish I had this happen to my Queerest Empire of Pythium in Dec20 though...

Edit Muty what's the matter? Y u stale?

 

[Trash Player]

Muty need no reason to stale.

 

[Muty]

Edit Muty what's the matter? Y u stale?

Because I derped and didn't notice that I'm going to stale?

 

[Dayyālu]

The Nagot Gick Fel takes, the Nagot Gick Fel gives

 

[Grimwulf]

Gotta give it to Gath - you have some ballz challenging Bernlad with your cap-only 200gp/75res Seren. What a waste.

Now THAT's what I call an LA thug.

On a side note, can anybody explain me his age? 56 out of 450 (?) - what is this even? Nobody in LA or even MA Man lived that long. 450 years is the life expectancy of Bean Sidhe from TNN. But Sidhe are descendants of Morrigans, both were women-only race.

Wait... Oh, sh

 

[KoolNoodles]

In the Arthurian tales isn't the Green Knight transformed a few times by various women(including Morgan) into some supernatural being used to test Arthur and other knights? So you are half right, women played a role.

Edit: the great Wikipedia alludes to this, though it has been a while since I read about Gawain and the Green Knight.

 

[Matalarata]

What happens if an immortal unit dies in the arena? True immortals are resurrected even if they die outside your Dominion now...

 

[sqeecoo]

I think that the immortality description says that it doesn't work on other planes, and the arena announcement is careful to point out that it takes place on the astral plane

So don't sent immortals to the Arena. Or really, never send anyone cause they will just get slaughtered by this guy:

Spoiler

 

[Matalarata]

Luckily I needed the resurrected prince to ferry troops around... I was almost ready to send him.


*herp derp* immortal trampler *derp* sounds *herp* good!

28 defense... gg.

 

[Dayyālu]

GG

I get attacked by Gath, that can be

my entire playthrough was nothing but bad events until now bar one fort that got immediately sieged

whatever

I got UW

Gath's Wet one mercs manage to beat numerical superior PD through sheer luck killing another fort construction

I do not lose so many forts in 60 turns of normal games, let alone in 20

LA Xibalba sucks

 

[Muty]

derp why the hell did I stall, I was fucking sure I did my turn *and* submit it

 

[Dayyālu]

derp why the hell did I stall, I was fucking sure I did my turn *and* submit it

Why do you worry about staling

My defensive strategy in this game has been literally to destroy all forts and labs and pillaging everything before the giants get it

"defensive strategy"

Fucking LA Xibalba
