These green lands anger us. Where is our soft blackness? We will turn this green to ash.

Sharkhan - Day 1

Already my Captain and his army are severely wounded.

Turn sent

Sharkhan - Day 2

A lot of targets are in sight, some to be bought and some to be fought...

Turn sent

We lost a small army to a single dwarf defending a mine. Tomorrow he will pay for it.

Our wizard himself was sent to the void today by a hail of halfing stones and darts. We roasted the halflings over their own fire after taking a minor magic ring from them.

Sharkhan -

Money, as always, is in dire need!

Turn sent

We gained the loyalty of a new village today, but little else to report.

Interesting lands discovered across water!!

Turn sent

I spend the night admiring the stars from my vantage point high up in the emptiness of the void.

We have found a heavily-settled area. Our armies will be moving towards it soon, but it is guarded by independent raiders.

Missed a group of area guards...almost. Now, those halflings are dinner!!

A patrol of dragonfolk is moving towards my undefended town.

We have found where the Claw is...it is unfortunately unreachable, as we do not have the necessary keys...yet!

The draconians took my village and it will be several days before we can take it back.

wow...some powerful draconian area guards are sighted. Have to tread carefully. And today, I took care to read the sign fully...and plans are made.

Luckily, Thufir joined us at a human outpost, quite adjacent to two items. A welcome piece of luck!!

Completed a task for the Spirit of war. Now, on to deal with the draconians.

Bah...heroes, they call themselves.
Thufir, with two blazing comets help and an elite hunter was not able to defeat three spiders!!

A major setback in that area!

We have recovered our village and will shortly be moving on the others in the area. Elsewhere, we have spotted an army on the move.

I can see your structures and you can see my army...and you still don't appear on the diplomacy screen.

The skimmer who stole our resources - the resources three of my loyal units had sacrificed their lives for - was killed.

That hero looks good...we need some of those items, though.

A powerful army is headed into our territory, complete with fire elementals. How I hate them! We appear to be behind the curve here.

Crovax fell in a one-sided battle and those items adorn my hero Gerard now! He grows more powerful with them...and we will advance further soon!

We have taken a major hit in the west, and have found enemy forces in places we did not expect. Things are not going well.

Some losses today...but none irreplaceable!!
Yawgmoth stands alone in his tower while floating and flying units evade my reach...but that shall soon be fixed.

The situation calls for some desperate measures...let me see if I have any....

Gerard is positioned with his army to move further into Yawgmoth's realm...three spirits and some goblin grunts stand in the way, but nothing himself and his fire elementals can't take care of.

If more reinforcements are needed, they are hardly a day away!!

While we distract Sharkhan with our spirits, our larger army moves into position....

Two of those spirits now rest at the bottom of the river now. We also wonder where Yawgmoth's larger army is...no hide nor hair is seen anywhere!!

We have a niggling thought at the back of our minds - one that never goes away - that we are walking into a trap...but I cannot see how.

Yawgmoth is still alone in his tower...has he managed to erect a second tower someplace else?

Yawgmoth is finally sent to the void forever.

Some thoughts -

Getting a druid (in one of the circles) and using him to control that zephyr helped a lot in acquiring the gold and mana lying on the surface and recruiting a campsite right near Yawgmoth's realm (the frostlings that were killed in the prod resource fight and the lone one you killed later).

Also, I explored a dungeon and got an angel/fairy. That helped me to get the Left Claw as well...but don't know whether that is a big deal or not.

Thanks for the game Springheel!!!

Edit: This was the fastest game I have ever played!!

Wow, I played horribly that game!

I think I wasted too many turns fulfilling a spirit quest that took me in the wrong direction, so I didn't get out acquiring resources quickly enough. And then when you attacked, I should have started playing defensively, but for some reason I didn't. Far from my best game.

Well, that's 1 for 1. I think we definitely need a tie-breaker.

I would love to play a tie-breaker too, especially since I feel that I didn't win this game through my skills but rather through your lack of luck/bad decisions.

Shall we request for an ER map again?

Sounds good.
