Archons, Day 2:

With mana and gold spread throughout the lands our forces are sent in all directions to collect as much as possible.

Perses, Day 2

Ditto for my forces.

We stumbled upon a samll campsite of halflings and after explaining the plight of the archons they have joined us.

Perses

I was hoping to recruit some new troops I spotted yesterday. Alas, it was not be, said troops provided target practice for my followers.

Perses

Building resources and furnace captured.

Perses

I really would like another source of mana!

We are completely surrounded by evil recruiting sites. Four in our immediate area. Not much good for the archons and without income resources.

Sorry for the lack of posting lately but I should be getting a lot more regular now.

Where are these evil recruiting sites exactly?

No worries about the lack of log postings, its turns that come first

Still looking for strategic choke points. I think this land is going to be very difficult to defend.

I know what you mean....

Today we had a tough choice. Recruiting the hero who offered his services or infrastructure. I hope the hero is worth it.

Quiet turn, other can adding a source of mana.

I need gold badly. Things have come to a halt and all troops are ordered to search for piles.

Keep your scouts from me, and my piles ...

We have removed some stubborn dwarves and claimed their furnace for our own. Production is still on standby.

A quiet turn, other than finding three useful piles of gold.

Gold has been found, a special spell researched and we gained a valuable troop this turn. Military advisors have informed the archons that victory is guarenteed! (unless the enemies have more troops, then all bets are off)

Turn sent.

Just a single, minor battle.

turn sent

In a couple of days our armies shall grow in strength.

*Sorry for the delay, I had to work these last few days (during my vacation )

I'm still following the trail of gold piles, and I'm still wondering what's waiting at the other end!

No worries about the delay. Talking of which I will be on holiday between 6th & 16th August, so no turns then.

I spend way too many turns just walking. I really feel that I'm falling behind.

Raided a magic vault and got a pretty useless spell. The extra mana should prove much more useful.

Falling behind? Don't count in it!

Reminder: Between 6th and 16th August I will be on holiday, so will not be sending turns then. I should be able to get turns flowing again on the 17th!

Today was a better day. Three battles, three victories. A special ceremony was held in the Archon capital praising the valiant warriors.

A gargoyle and its assistant proved easier to overcome than expected.

Almost had a 50% chance of losing the game.

I have to be more careful.

Lots of walking ahead. You continue to be reckless!

Lots of walking ahead.

Hey- you took my post! And it was reckless; just really, really dumb.

Took a bit of a gamble, I only hope it pays off ...

We have looted an unholy site and were rewarded greatly. Our great elven hero is proving to be quite an asset.

Welcome back SteveB. Hope you had a great vacation.

The capture of an archon outpost proved more costly than expected/hoped.

Thanks Tibbs. Sorry for delay again, I got my turns flowing too early (I did post I would be away until 16th) and I should have waited until then!

Nothing but movement today. Our scouts have discovered the heart of Nimue's Kingdom.
