A useful day as a death node was conquered to greatly aid in our research. Mobius found an artifact but though it will have its uses, I still feel its pretty much useless.

Turn sent.

Cleared out a campsite for a very minor item. Picked up resources to get my construction going.

Another almost-useless artifact...are these really worth the wounds?. Atleast the gold was useful.

Turn sent.

Acquired a new undead hero. Tomorrow, a dwarven village, the first of many!

My temple has risen from the ashes. The dwarven town will soon be razed. Then it, too, will rise again to worship the darkness!

Nothing much of importance was done today because of a stupid mistake.

The foray unto the surface has begun while the underground is being secured by my zombies and spiders.

Moving and healing.

These dwarves are @#%#%$% tough! I'm trying to save mana in combat so I can reanimate the dwarven ruins, but it is costing me my death knights. Soon enough I'll have some real units, however.

Moving about securing mines and furnaces and battling petty dwarves for gold.

Turn sent

Captured a furnace with no losses, happily.

We lost three units in a failed attempt to take a dwarven town. A calculated risk - if the seduce had worked first turn, we could have won.

But people flock to be part of my armies...people who can convince other people to join too.

Conquer, raze, reanimate, repeat. Good way to build an empire. Not so good for building your reputation.

Conquered the Dwarven prince and grabbed his axe!

Famine seems to be moving faster. Wonder where this dwarven prince is and whether there is on my side too.

First town was reanimated. Process is being hampered by the seduced units.

Turn sent

Progress is steady. The backbone of my army is taking shape. Also explored a mana vault.

Patience is our virtue but the lack of targets and slow movement of troops is frustrating.

A terrible day. The occupants of the dwarven prince's zoo somehow burst through the webs that should have held them. Though Dania managed to survive the waves of attackers, all the others were slain and the dwarven town rebelled. We have retaken it, and more help is on the way, but this sets us back at least two days, perhaps more.

Rebuilding and assembling my army...

More recruits and more cities conquered. Unfortunately, we do not have the mana to cast Animate Ruins so quickly. And as a result, units are stranded keeping the towns from rebelling. Atleast gold income is more than decent.

Turn sent.

The dwarven town has at last been razed and reanimated. Reinforcements are on the way, and tomorrow we will resume our progress.

Another town reanimated, another vampire joins and another recruit is convinced to follow us.
All in all, a good day though my reaper took forever to kill a single unit. He may be a hero but still, to a reaper, everything is just a unit.

Turn sent.

Finished off the last occupant of the zoo and gained an okay item. Dania doesn't have too much use for it, but another hero might.

I hope Famine is having more luck with the items than I have been having.

Turn sent.

Moving through the tunnels towards our goal...

A very useful upgrade was obtained by Stygia...but it seems to be having no effect at all.
We have sighted what seems to be a Dwarven prince and a sign saying something about a zoo and an aquarium. Looks like Famine has moved faster!!!

...and I love zombies.

Turn sent.

Our underground goal is in sight. And on the surface, we are just getting started...

An excellent day for recruiting/seducing. My army is growing...

A quiet day with a few battles killing the occupants of a zoo.

Turn sent

My vampires made another useful seduction. Another opportunity tomorrow?

Another day, another conquest.

We see Famine's aura underground. Has he already conquered the dwarven citadel - which was rightfully ours?.

"We see Famine's aura underground. Has he already conquered the dwarven citadel - which was rightfully ours?."

Why don't you come closer and find out?

Progress is good on the surface.

Another town conquered. A magic catalyst, too, although my power is so great it hardly adds much.

It seems wherever we go, we see a huge domain of Famine that can only be accounted for by a Tower. And so far, it looks like he has three and aims to get a fourth one.

We are definitely lagging behind!!
