Day 0 -

The Humans will be "breaking the ice." Turn sent.

Human Day 1

Well, I certainly hope to break some icies, but I nearly broke my big hero on turn 1! got out by the skin of my teeth but the local 1 hex is now mine at no cost and 4 xp for my man. Next obvious target is an undead 3 hex, but it's walled. Hmmmm.

Day 1 -

The usual. No near death experiences yet.

Day 2

No battles. Keeping aan eye out for wolves. Got some gold, which was necessary.

Day 2 -

Acquired a power node. That is all. turn sent

Those wolves turned up overnight and fortunately got dealt with, without any losses. Captured a city and bought another. My cavalier suffered inexplicably large damage, fortunately not fatal.

Day 2 -

Grabbed a number of resources, but we seem to be 1 town behind. 1 battle - a number of troops sustained injuries, hoping the wolves won't finish them off. Turn sent

No battles. Spies grabbing what they can.

Day 3 -

One of our guys killed 5 wolves but the 6th one got him (I'd rename him Fences with Wolves if he were still around). One battle with indies. Moving on. Turn sent

Day.... 5?

Attack of the mutant killer wolves takes a lone archer by surprise, but my main force dealt with them. Expanding as fast as we can. Had a nice battle in a monster lair. Looks like I've left someone important rather exposed.

Day 4 -

I just did something stupid, but I doubt it anyone will die as a result.

Well, yet more wolves with extrasensory perception sniffed out my exposed man, but failed to do him any signicicant damage, so that left him free to nearly get killed in another monster lair - he escaped with half the goodies (I expect) and one hit point!

In other news, we entice a couple of eagles off their nest, so now we have the power!

Day 5 -

Not much happened (that's good - at least everyone who was alive yesterday is alive today).

Hero get's his upgrade, so now he can climb walls and main stack takes a nice 3 hex. Other troops find some gold, and hero goes out of his new city for a spot of frog hunting.

Day 6 -

Yipes - wouldn't want to run into that stack on the street [water walking - no, running - away].

Hmmm. Water walking already. That's good going. Looking interesting now. Should I move back to deal with the heros, or forward into frostling territory?

Day 7 -

For some reason I started with no Global spell, so I have nothing to cast so my hero can't cast combat spells. Still, I think the Human capitol is worth 20 mana.

Also ran into Human secondary hero. Ice queen went past him since I wasn't moving 1 hex at a time, so it was all up to my priest. Risky but...now he can tried to bribe the Orcs with delicious frog's legs

I expected my secondary hero to be a gonner - but not to a single shaman!! Now I see why. Should not have sent him off on his own in the first place. Guess I need to play a bit differently on these small maps.

I aslo thought my archers might do a bit more damage. I don't often see the AI use comabt spells to such good effect.

Looking bleak now.

Day 8 - turn sent

Trying to think what on earth I can do to regain the initiative.

Day 9 -

The human super-stack is turning around, so our capitol is safe. However, I was unable to reinforce the Human capitol.

Need to check later if this is still with me.

Re-sent what I think is the last turn.

Day 13 - got to be unlucky for some!

Had some troops hiding in the caverns near my captured 4hex. Decided to bring them up and use them in support of my hero stack in an attempt to get it back. It was agood battle!

Turn 14 done. Bit of a recuperation period, I hope!

Turn 15 done.

Turn 16 done.

day 13 - I wasn't expecting the reinforcements and chain lightning (although I certainly should have been). I wasn't sure if you had something up your sleeve or you were just making a desperate attack. Seeing your hero make a level with 1 HP + vertigo was particularly annoying. I've had worse days, but this will probably make the top 10 list.

Day 14 - Nothing

Day 15 - Nothing, because we have no wall climbing. Realized that Bjern had an upgrade yesterday (we just forgot to take it. *cries*)

Day 16 - Can't hardly wait to open this one!

Yes, Day 13 was lucky for me! Continuing to recover from it.

Day 18?

Starting to go forth and multiply.
