units spread out to explore the land.
already lost 2 dryads, good things as they cost me much ...

hey! i got screwed a starting spell!!!

oh well.

little feet start to pitter-patter.

ts

The Tigrans have arrived. The Tigrans are already rated 'weak'. Hah, we'll show them. Completed quest for order and received needed troops. (still rated weak though)

Hayseed the broke-
------------------------

boy can I spend money! but at least I have a huge army now! (of peasants )

TS

I have none (money AND army ... )

Still broke, but the market will turn around any day now...

TS

Money concerns even affect the merchant cats. Spotted the orcish people. Wonder what their intentions are?

the elves offer peace, but are on my doorstep with a huge army. I wont be intimidated into following their orders any longer!
If they want peace, they will have to ask me nicer.
TS

Our armies continue to secure our lands. Money is still a major issue. Diplomacy continues.

the elves flee from our might, and war is declared!

we also see some orcs heading this way to test their luck, too... keep coming if you feel lucky, punks!

TS

The tigrans continue to prowl our lands. Watching.

Hiranu posted his game turn over here:

spotted a little guy crossing my borders, will teach him to stay calm, eternely...

halflings-
------------------

the tigrans seem friendly enough, but their large army that approaches my lands is making me nervous...

TS

I lost an abomination on the river to a mass of frogs.

Tigran- Late post.

Troops dealt with independent Halfling spy. Besides that, all seems very calm... too calm... stressful. In other words, total war is going to happen very quickly and we plan on being ready for it.

running after that damn halfling spy...

halflings-
---------------

run run as fast as you can, cant catch me I'm ... only a halfling... and better start running faster!

Now that the elves have shown their true colors, and have done nothing beneficial for my people, we have decided to succeed from their empire.
We declare our shire independant, and teh people have named me king!

King Hayseed! I like the sound of that!

TS

well the halfling was killed by goblins, but we killed those ones, and as we burn them out, we destroy the remains of the halfling in their stomach...

Slowly expanding the tigran pride. Found a halfling in the tunnels who must be lost. Nothing but Tigran things up ahead.

Cleanign up crud in my backfield.

Watching carefully. Armies are on the move so something is going to happen.

halflings-
------------------

not realizing the caves belong to the tigrans, we depart as requested.
We go back to patroling our borders, although the frogs that ate the abomination apparantly like peasant flesh, too.

TS

i dont know exactly what I did, but I got a restart for some reason...
the only act of aggression I had was taking a watchtower from the orcs though.

Took some catylysts

just change a migic fountain to my sphere...

avoiding elven ire.

ts

Waiting patiently to finish a quest tomorrow.

Still cleaning things up behind the lines.

I don't like the looks of the halflings. They have spread underground to places they shouldn't, and their above ground forces are large as well.

Late post-

Finally finished our quest and our reward was... strange. I almost didn't see it and when I did, was very happy it wasn't hostile.

lets see if the glutton can resist such a large assortment of bite-sized treats!

TS

Gaining power under the ground. Sent a scout into the open lans and was ambused by frogs and boars. It wasn't pretty.

halflings-
---------------

the glutton must have been full, or just wanted to dine on water elemental first. Pretty frightening that it slaughtered 'her' and took very little damage doing so... at least most of my army is in or behind the tower now, VERY safe from his ugliness... unfortunatly, my runners may not be so lucky, but with our new found peace with the elf queen (brought about because of senior slimetrail), we had to risk running to her aid, before this front turns as sour as that in the south;

only yesterday did I think I struck a good blow to the greenskinned ones, taking an outpost and village from them, and starting to move some guarison troops in to hold down the rebellions.

today we see a strong couple of orc units, led by a very mean looking dire penguin, and his sidekick 'minstrel'. The guarison we were moving in, as well as our mounted scout, are no match, so we swiftly retreat, and will live to fight another day.

TS

Still going about our business.

aww! come back mr. glutton! we still want to play!

TS

The gluttone decided we definately have better things todo with our time.

Late post-

The cats have grown bored and are just clawing the crap out of the furniture. Hopefully some excitement will happen soon. We can feel it, the hair is up on our necks.

I'm deeply concerned about the halfings. I can't see what they are up to, but they are up to something.

halflings-
------------------

we trade nodes with the orcs... earth for water. PS - thanks for killing that water elemental for us... we couldnt have done it without your help!

TS

From Tigran perspective- Nothing of nothing has happened.
