Day 1,

Turns out the dwarves guarding that mill were tougher than we thought. We lost half our army and almost our champion. Luckily, the nearby monks were able to heal those who survived.

Shan Tsung of nomads

A beautiful day beside this oasis, the crickets in the grass and the birds in the trees sing their songs and we make plans for exploration.

My advisors have informed me of several sources of revenue that would be most useful for our city, but it seems a battle or two will need to be arranged. I have set my brave warriors to their tasks and tomorrow we shall reap the rewards.

TS

Good luck, let me know if you would like this to be a ladder game and I'll register it as such.

A lowly band of humans has slaughtered several powerful units. My champion barely escaped with her life.

We must lick our wounds and rebuild our forces.

Shan Tsung of nomads

The last few days have born fruit as well as anguish. The new water installations are now complete and working well, but a band of radical Syrons decided to take offence at a lone scout , we mourn his passing and vow to the vengeance of his death.

TS

A new champion has allowed us to complete a quest. But in his first battle, he took far heavier losses than he should. The creatures of the desert are deceptively strong.

Exploring while we wait for new trainees.

Shan Tsung of nomads

Days have passed and we have been as busy as the bandits will allow.

The Syron brigands that killed my man attempted an attack on our tents, but the sprites and their retainers have paid in blood, albeit with a loss from our officers ranks.

Now another band of these blue blooded Syrons march against me , will there be no end to their attacks!

At least some good tidings, one of our feathered friends soared high above the clouds and spotted a camp of our brothers and they have now joined our cause.

TS

We have rescued a band of monks from a nearby prison. Little else to do but explore the desert sands.

There are many dead ends in the mountains. Exploring by foot is not cutting it.

Shan Tsung

Once again we are chasing the Stron invaders, something will have to be done and soon!

TS

More and more dead ends. We have, at last, found another settlement, although getting to it could be tricky.

Shan Tsung

Finally the Syron renegades have been removed, perhaps now a little peace may be had around the camp fires.

Reports have reached me of a growing darkness in the North West but we have, as yet, been unable to ascertain its source, our scouts continue to explore.

TS

We have managed to find and recruit our first settlement. Exploring has picked up as well.

Shan Tsung

We have captured several structures from a dark prince, but as yet, there is no sign of the man himself, we continue to search.

TS

We have discovered two wizards now, and a very rich oasis.

Shan Tsung

A rich oasis indeed...

TS

Shan Tsung

The Oasis, it seems, is to become rich with blood, the question is, whose...

We keep killing scouts that come our way. Time to find out where they have been coming from.

Shan Tsung

It would seem the large oasis has become something of a Tigran paradise, something will have to change...

TS

All my games generated restarts, so no attack today. Perhaps tomorrow.

Shan Tsung

Hmm strange, I too had a restart, so we also did very little.

TS

Shan Tsung

We have a spy in the camp and we have put in place measures to remove the offending sprite!

TS

Securing a few more resources. We have managed to hire ourselves a nice little army in the north, and have removed a spy from the vicinity.

Shan Tsung

Well well, it seems we have visitors, I hope you like the welcoming committee

TS

We took a chunk out of the welcoming committee, though at a higher cost than I would have liked.

A slip of the mouse caused us to waste a few turns.

We may have made a mistake in unleashing an undead beast, which for some reason is very unhappy to be working for us.

Shan Tsung

So, the Tigrans decided to test our defences and although we incurred a loss it was not great and is easily replaced. Now we have to deal with an intruder...

TS

We have eliminated a few more enemy troops and lost a wounded scout.

We see another enemy scout is back for more.

Shan Tsung

The cleanup after the attack of the Tigrans continues and production has been increased, time to play counter move

TS

We are solidifying some holdings and moving troops around. Soon the real fun starts.

Took out another scout and scorched the tailfeathers of yet another.

Shan Tsung

The loss of one of our babies has left everyone feeling quite sad, but as one life ends, so another is born.

TS

We seem to have our opponent more or less hemmed in, so we've been exploring other places in the desert sands.

A group of powerful independents have popped out of nowhere. This could be interesting.

The independents have been dealth with. Some where bough, the others destroyed. We have gathered enough momentum for a final charge.

A few troops tried an ambush on Shang Tsung, but we were only able to take out his bodyguard. Should have gone for the tower instead.

A sneak ambush wins us the game. Nobody ever said the Tigrans were honourable.

Good match. Let me know if you'd like another game.
