Day 1 starts out good for the goodies.

Dark Elves Day 1:

A new hero joins us. This new hero as aids in the search of some ruins to the South. Some decent items are found although at the cost of an Executioner (damned Centaur ).

Orcs Day 1

The orcs wander about a bit aimlessly and capture a mine and reflecting pool.

Day 2 sees the Goods spreading in search of resources, after fighting underground. Luckily, a node was only gaurded by 3 puppets, so we cut their strings.

Dark Elves Day 2:

A small orcish city is captured but not much else happened.

Orcs Day 2:

A cave is explored an inside are thousands of wolves, but they are easily overcome by two heroes and an orcish cavalry.

One faction fights 3 spiders without problems and finds one crappy cloak and a misbehaving icon, but it will do. The other faction fights half a dozen level one humans of which one swordsman does a surprising amount of damage. But we release some extremely useful prisoners, nevertheless.

Oh, and we go forth multiplying as usual.

Dark Elves Day 3:

Captured a death node but one of my heros is now crippled for a while due to the nasty poison of the spiders.

Orcs Day 3:

The Orcs don't really seem to be achieving much at all.

Came across a 2 hex city we couldn't afford, but we had the troops to take it. Then had a change of heart, because we are in need of troops, so we will buy them soon. Shaping up for other battles.

Dark Elves Day 4:

Overthrew a 3 hex Undead city with plenty of units. Dark Elves now have a large income of +120.

Orcs Day 4:

Saving up to buy a Dark Elven 3 hexer. Took another mine.

Elves capture a 1 hex city and a couple of power nodes.

Halflings have a bit of pig trouble, but eventually take an earth node with no losses, plus a few bit and pieces.

Dark Elves Day 5:

Gathering to attack a Human 4 hex city.

Orcs Day 5:

A great day as a Dark Elf 3 hexer is bought and a Human 4 hexer is captured with our new recruits.

Elves and Halflings both do absolutely nothing except run around like crazy.

Dark Elves Day 6:

A two hex Dark Elven city joins our cause while a 4 hex human city is captured. But with the loss of one of our two heroes .

Orcs Day 6:

Waiting for a bit of money.

Played the turn a while ago, so I can't remember which faction did what. Not much, except for taking a 4 hexer.

Not much to report for either side this turn.

More expansion.

Another slow day for both the Orcs and Dark Elves. Although some Halfling forces are getting close(ish) to us.

We've got our eye on you too - and we certainly don't like the look of that big orc hero!!

The Dark Elves blast the Halflings with an altar of death.

The big orc leader is upset that the goodies think he is ugly, gets angry and kills some humans.

Hmmm. Looks to be pretty even at the moment. Orcs making inroads up top, just as my halflings are doing down south. Except superior good races refuse to use chemical weapons!

The bad guys go rampaging about a bit. A human 4 hex city falls to the Orcs.

Not doing much at all (let alone rampaging!). Just moving forces together. And spies away from dark elves.

The Orcs make up for a total lack of progress by the Dark Elves by capturing another Human city.

In the release of a WMDS purely designed to clean up after an ecological disaster, we seem to have caught some dark elves in the fallout. We are sure those that are left will recover immediately though (unfortunately).

The Dark Elves attack the Halfling forces after the illegal (in the bad guys eyes) use of WMDS.

The Orcs continue their reign of terror over the poor independant Humans.

Hmmm. Not a good day. Definitely not for the elves, due to a lucky strike by a catapault. Could have been worse, though. And the dark elves take out a halfling medical party. Did they not see the red cross????

The Dark Elves thought the halfling medical party was actually a legal millitary target, it was an accidental attack. The leaders of the Dark Elves are now considering paying compensation to avoid making the world think they are totally evil.

The Orcs get revenge on a group of humans that killed one of their warlords.

Despite the lack of medical help, Halflings go forth in vengamce, never mind the compensation! A big battle ensues.

Another WMDS is set off this time in the Northern lands. It does little except upset the local population and a small band of Elves.

Well, you know, the trouble with these WMDS is they invite the MAD approach. And that's exactly what happens here. Tit for tat. However, it causes another opportunity to arise, and my motto has always been "seize the day!!". Well, it is today, anyway.

Things aren't looking so good for the bad guys now. Both down to a very small number of units and one level 1 hero.
