These lands are rich and prosperous. A perfect starting ground for the holy people.

These lands are rich and prosperous. A perfect starting ground for the not-so-holy people.

Captured a mine and a node. A good day for good people.

We have been harvesting the large bounty in gold and mana strewn throughout the lands.

Bh

A god spoke to Amon today. "Good leader of the holy people. There is an evil in these lands that cannot be tolerated. Go fourth and purify the intruders." Amon led the crusade himself and was rewarded with a powerful weapon. "This shall serve as a warning to all those who sow evil" he thought.

My armies are continuing their successful campaigns. Today, they conquered a windmill from some halflings.

Bh

We need to heal a few wounds so the armies are ordered to relax and pick loose mana and gold off the ground.

We lost one of our troops today to the vile explosion of a goblin bomber. However, we also located a soldier cut off from our lines who gratefully rejoined us.

Bh

A few mighty battles left us very wounded. Luckily a new hero joined our ranks.

Raids on our scouting parties have taken their toll.

Bh

Good thing we just got that new hero because another of our heroes just got slaughtered.

Taking a node turned out to be a harder effort than anticipated. We need time to recover.

One more day until our might shall increase dramatically. Just what we need given the current state of our forces.

First contact has been made with Anon. His purity has been stifling the people under his rule. We shall free them and allow them to experience all sides of life.

We have started by removing a mine from Anon's control.

Merlin has dispatched most of his army into the shadow world. His orcish slave has been put out of his misery but the others shall be more difficult to deal with.

It appears we have spotted Anon's capital. Unfortunately, we are stuck between two armies. Either one is not a terrible challenge, but combined they easily outpower us.

Merlin has been dealt a heavy blow. Amon charged forward leading all men of virtue and valour. The battle was bloody and Amon had to sacrifice himself to save harm from others. Merlin shall think twice before entering our lands again.

I begin to put my affairs in order for my imminent return to the void.

After the minor setback of Merlin's advances we have regained our power and then some. Amon sends his armies to punish the unpure.

I have made a peace with Tempest - I spotted his troops near Anon's position. Perhaps together we can bring him down.

Lily, our halfling hero attacked a wild boar and two wolves singlehandedly. This amazing little ranger had control of all three within minutes.

I have my troops sewing white flags. Perhaps Anon will spare their lives.

We are reclaiming some of our mines for much needed gold. I wonder where these other wizards are?

Troop movements.

Burning fire has hindered our plans. It would have been good too.

It appears my plan is working - Anon has been distracted by Tempest. Hopefully this will give me time to recover.

Our armies continue to recruit units on both fronts.

Alas, the speed of my recruitments has slowed dramatically. I cannot afford the training costs required.

Bh

Anon massacred my advanced guard, but my reinforcements took down the remainder of his army. We are weakened significantly again, but hopefully this time so is Anon.

Bh

Late Post.

Our armies massacred Merlin's advanced guard, but hopefully he doesn't have reinforcements that can take down the remainder of our army.

Licking our wounds.

It appears that Tempest has been taking control of all of Anon's territory. This is bad news for Anon, but I'm not sure it's good for me. I can't let Tempest become too powerful.

Bh

Still rebuilding and completed a quest.

Travel is quite slow.

Bh

Travel is slow for us also.

Perhaps I made a mistake in allying with Tempest to combat Anon. Tempest has taken control of more and more of the lands, and Anon has not come into my lands.

Bh

No major events to report.

Bh

Just some small battles against indies.

In a lightning strike, my knights struck hard at Anon's capital! Anon's forces were unprepared for the attack, and were too far from the city to reinforce it. Anon has been banished!

Am I required to play it out against the AI?

Good game, btw, I really thought I was toast when you butchered my first army. I'm up for another game if you are.

Bh

Good game Bhruic!

Even if my forces were at the capital they wouldn't have survived the battle. That second wave of attackers you had really destroyed me. I was so surprised.

I'd definitely like another game. Feel free to set one up or I'll be able to do it Thursday night.

Congrats!
