Not much to report, starting spells stink. Not sure we'll ever use that bird's eye or dispel magic

Orcs day 1

A fine start, at least I got enchant weapon.

Haven't met the elves yet but the humans have shown up in force. They purchase a lovely highman 3-hex between us as they continue their expansion efforts. We'll have to do something about them.

Orcs day 2-4 or so

We expand out with little trouble and most of the wandering beasts have been taken care of. Wondering when we'll meet the dwarves and frostlings, we're sure it won't be too long now.

Killed some humans (after they killed some of my guys). Their mighty heroes ran away before I could capture them. Killed a few elves, they seem to be wandering around a bit too.

Orcs up to day 7

Random beasts keep slowing my progress Dwarves have suffered some losses, so have the frostlings. Things are going fairly well as money and mana are starting to get better (but sure wish I had more of it). Our mighty hero is doing well too with some nice spells and experience.

Our progress is okay so far. In the north, we battle the Frostlings - we took some cities and resources, but failed to see their frost queen and now have lost much of our undefended rear areas. This thorn will be removed soon we hope. In the south we battle the dwarves. A boar rider and a mole with enchant weapon slaughtered a considerable number of our troops, but we brough them down and if just had a ram, we could capture their tower fort and learn where their heroes and other forces are. Otherwise, our heroes still live and thrive - we rescued some prisoners who hate us...perhaps more trouble than they are worth.

Dark Elves - Day 10

Our progress is below average so far. In the north, we managed to get nearly our entire party, including our starting 3rd level unit killed in an attempt to take out two little fire sprites. A truly discouraging turn of events. In the south and east we have expanded some and freed a prisoner who hates us (sound familiar ) Have not spotted any Elf or Human heroes yet. Our main hero hangs by a thread after getting blasted by a very powerful alter which I should not have let happen

Turns sent.

We continue to battle with the Elves, they send troops in and we kill them and are slowly making inroads into their territory. The humans continue to bother us but we are chasing down their heroes with a couple ladies we hope to convince them to join our cause. That would bring a nice boost to our efforts.

Orcs day 11

The frostlings are contained in their homeland, hiding behind about 4 catapults still haven't seen their heroes. The dwarf and human heroes are on the borders and one nasty dwarf hero is slicing his way past our border guards right into the heart of our city. Good thing we've got a stack of troops about one turn away.

Our demon stays on water waiting for a good opportunity to hurt the Orcs...for now, he works his way into their backyard to be a thorn in their side
Otherwise we wipe out the Orc assassin and forward scouts.

Turns sent.

Well, we had to stop chasing the human heroes as more pressing matters must be dealt with. Too bad, now we've run them right into Orc territory so my enemy will probably charm him as was our intention

Orcs

Still no sign of the frostlings heroes anywhere, maybe they're dead... A nasty demon with haste is going to be a problem for us. Well, we'll try and do something about it but not sure what right now...

Going just swell, we're having fun pushing the orcs back into their homeland.

Orcs

Struggling with being stuck back in our homeland

The end is near...

Orcs

ditto

Victory is at hand

Orcs -

We make a move in attempt to gain the upper hand.

Turns sent.

Too bad we lost our mighty hero and drakes and mighty orc heroes are headed our way along with more elves and humans YIKES!

Orcs

er, um, we're toast.

Very close to victory. The Orc capital has fallen. Five of the six capitals now belong to us. Hunting the last few Orcs.

Orcs -

The failure of the Dark Elves to take out the Elves and Humans have given us a chance to recover our stride. Now both the Elf and Human capitals have fallen to us. We control five of the six capitals, but our hold is not very strong.

Turns sent.

We're still alive but our situation looks bleak

Orcs

With the exception of one mighty red dragon we are doomed.

Still fighting

Orcs

Dead and buried

Orcs - red dragons and ice drakes continue to crush the dark elves...wraiths and cavaliers move in support. Victory soon will be ours.

Fun while it lasted, now it is over.
