Okay, I've downloaded the turn file and PM'd Frank for anything I need to be aware of.
I'm working today but I should be able to get the turn in later tonight.
Looking at the file Tien Chi staled last turn, would it be possible to have a turn's grace before anyone attacks me? I promise not to attack any provinces this turn whilst I sort things out.

I sent in my 2h for this turn a while back, but I guess it never responded? Weird.

Early tomorrow I'm going on vacay out-of-country, and may well be off the grid for a full week. So if my turns stop coming in during that period (and I'm not responding to PMs), that'll be why.

Who's the controller of the game? It wouldn't be unreasonable to set the turn time super long in this busy holiday season, for angel's benefit and probably everyone elses, too.

I am, and the turn time is already super-long.

Wonderful. Do you mind updating the first post with who's subbed in please, if it's not too much to ask?

Done.

I can't tell if Tien Chi and C'Tis are about to have an epic throwdown, or if it just happened and I missed it. I really hope I didn't miss it.

There might be a fight coming up. Possibly several, followed by extensive raiding. I'm pretty happy with the territory I took from T'ien Ch'i, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to hold onto it. If I lose one army, I'll need to focus on economic disruption with the second.

Don't worry angel, you didn't miss anything. T'ien Ch'i made a tactical withdrawal in the face of a concerted C'tis advance, but now having regrouped we are ready to deal with the invaders.

C`tis, I am breaking my NAP-3 with you as of Turn 34.

OK, thanks for the notice! Looking forward to seeing what your army fights like.

Well, that was quite the undead-on-undead fight. If he'd scripted his Thautamogs to spam banishment from the beginning instead of dust to dust, it might have gone the other way.

Nice work, T'ien Ch'i! I'm conceding our war and pulling my forces away, you're free to take my provinces. Abysia just took one of my provinces in violation of our NAP, and I am much more interested in attacking them than you now. After your victory, I need everything I've got to ruin their day. I'm also sending you 100 Water Gems, 80 Earth Gems, 40 Fire Gems, 20 Air Gems, 6 Boots of the Messenger, and a Spell Focus.

Abysia went AI a while ago after feeding a bunch of mages to horrors for no reason. It is no longer aware of any deals made by the human player.

Maybe I should have been paying more attention to the thread. Oops.

I must admit, that went better than expected. I was planning for Foul Vapours to back up the skelespam, possibly with Darkness on top. Did you run out of Nature gems to power the casters?
Wolven Winter on the provinces I thought we might be fighting in also helped a bunch. Cold scales are pretty brutal for lizards, with 15 encumbrance the number of Horde of Skeletons casts goes down pretty sharply.

We will agree to your gracious offer and the return of our former provinces and will institute an NAP-3 against further hostilities.

Fucking Ermor.
I'll have dispel up in 2 turns. If anyone wants to give me suggestions of # of pearls to use, or has dispel up sooner, I'll donate pearls. Also, C`Tis, I offer a NAP-anydurationyoulike in exchange for 55 and 66 to declare war on Ermor.

I have Dispel researched now and a Dispel capable caster if anyone would like to donate to our new 'Lets Dispel BoT Right Fucking Now' kickstarter.

Ah, been wanting to do this in Multiplayer for a long time.
Incidentally, I would remind Ashdod and C'Tis that their population is noticably longer-lived than humans and especially Abysians, and furthermore that both T'ien Chi and Scleria are rather dependent on elderly mages.

We would remind the assembled nations that though Emor may be Masters of Death, the sages of T'ien Ch'i are Masters of Life and have many techniques for extending lifespan. We may not be as short lived as you would like.
Furthermore, whilst various nations will suffer to a lesser or greater degree, Ermor gains most of all the while the spell remains.

Nice one, Ermor! And just when I was hoping to have spare corpses popping up too. This should make Abysia less of a hassle.
