Engarde, Baron!

I'll take the elves.

A so it begins

My scouts move quickly - they will be a strong advantage in these lands.

I captured a magic rift today with minor losses - now there is one more life node in this land to help heal the earth.

ts

I am trying to use my armies speed to my advantage. Nekron will have trouble keeping up.

I do nothing

A have laid claim to a bounty of production resources - tomorrow, I will claim even more.

Plus, a new hero joined my cause!

dead move very slow

Elves move very fast .

Two production resources down, two to go. I've also got my eye on a small frostling town towards the center of the map...

Busy researching the Turn Undead spell - could come in handy.

Methinks I have an advantage on this map .

I hide under my bed to many dark things about

More production resources !

computer crash during turn.

I'm preparing to - guess what - capture more production resources!

These armies in the center of the mpa are getting on my nerves...

Going nowhere slowly

Nothing happened today.

Made a big mistake but now I have a city. Not sure if it balances out.

back on track

Preparing to capture a small Frostling town.

Went wrong now going right.

Busy spreading peace and happiness .

A single fire elemental took out my second party. That wasn't very nice.

Today, 10 of my mighty archers brought down an ice dragon without a single loss to capture a reflecting pool. Now I can see Nekron's foul lair clearly...

Looks like someone's in trouble...

Did evil things, well not really I just walked around.

Things are going well. Very, very well.

A poor halfling town has be converted into undead. They are much happier this way. Just look at the smile on that skeleton.

Death's time in this land draws close to an end.

The God of the dead has animated the body of a long dead hero. With this hero the dead shall rule.

Nekron's hero will make no difference - the end is nigh for him!

A lot of nothing.

Nice force you've got there, Nekron. Too bad you won't be around long enough to use it.

Lost some of my strongest. Oh well

I must admit I was surprised to see Nekron's forces cath up with my own. However, I won the battle. I lost two units, which makes the upcoming battle's outcome a little less clear; however, I think I can still claim victory.

Sometimes you have to leave the safety of a tower and bring the battle to the enemy.

I've got the turn in my inbox, unfortunatly I have a problem. I've had a bit of a family emergency pop up, and I've had to run home. I brought the AoW2 CD with me so I could play my turns from my other games, which are all right at the beginning where the restart message will not be that big a deal. However, with our game being at a critical point, I don't want to create a restart message in a situation where it could be interpreted as taking advantage of that to gain an unfair advantage.

So basically, it's your call. I can play the turn, creating a restart message b/c I played the turn on a different computer, or we can wait until I get back to my dorm, which unfortunatly won't be until next Monday . Whatever you want to do is fine with me.

This stinks to, because it sounds like we were going to experience the thrill of the hunt... Let me know what you want me to do.

You can play it, I trust you. Or it rather wait that is ok also.

I captured Nekron's lone wizard tower today, as he abandoned it to ensure his survival for a few more turns. I would have attacked Nekron this very turn, but I'm a bit cautious about his vampires. Now we wait and see what Nekron will do... I can think of several possibilities.

Reinforcements are on the way.

Turn sent.

BTW, thanks for trusting me.

A wizard needs his tower so I took it back. Now we continue doing evil stuff like kicking kittens.

Nekron did exactly what I thought he would do by attacking his lost city. Unfortunatly, the Fast Combat AI did exactly what I DIDN'T want it to do - not a single unit even tried to kill Nekron, which would have ended the game if they'd have killed him.

Oh well... I still feel a have the advantage. How long can Nekron last?

Yes the day was evil. I thought my evil heart would beat it last beat. But I go on like my undead troops. I doubt I will be along much longer. Then again maybe I have a secret evil weapon coming up from behind. hmmmmmmm
