Chronicles of Khan Tarash, of Fairies and Allies

Our Undead allies managed to lose their whole kingdom to a Fairy...

Princess Bielce D'Zeral placed strange hopes to these forces of Anubis, which clearly shows her hysterical insanity and clouded judgement. Khan Tarash must look for new allies to survive.

Dwarves - Day 39

Our enchanted fairy continues her mission of sabotage against the undead. Though perhaps conquest is the better word when city after city falls before her tiny wings. In other news we declare war on the frostlings and continue to gather elementals to our cause.

Crushing skulls and destroying graves won't stop Death...

Chronicles of Khan Tarash, of Unpredictable Turn of Events

Our Eagles rain the Azran vengeance upon Highmen, whose mortal possessions burn away like weed in wildfire. Surely, they will think twice next time before starting a war over one single Watchtower. Perhaps at the eve of their defeat in the hands of Dwarves and Halflings?

Dwarves - Day 40

Sorrow spreads throughout the kingdom as news reaches us of the tragic death of Queen Sceria. She died while valiantly attacking the evil Baron Sralkeb. Death prevailed today but we swear to avenge the death of the halfling queen.

P.S. I am not sure did the Frostlings surrender or were they defeated during someone else's turn, so I sent the turn to Frostling player. If it was surrender, please redirect the mail to Halfling player.

I killed the last frostling units

Ok, well then the turn went to the correct player!

By the way, I am reflecting the rules and spirit of our games to the history of Europe, and I was thinking that we could make them a bit more interesting in the future with a little of tweaking. If one single alliance dominates over 50% of the map, could it be allowed for all other races to ally in a coalition (say for example even 4 vs 2) to try to fight off the threat of being conquered? The way I see it, this is how weaker nations of Europe tried to keep France in check back in the days, and Germany and Russia later, even when they didn't see eye to eye.

Of course it's hard to form into a rule, but say for example in this game, the only way to turn it around anymore from Azrac perspective is that we get everyone on our side. Of course it is very interesting game anyway, but I foresee that the rules of the game (ally with 1) force the game to go in pre-destinated order where players get eliminated one by one by the alliance that gains the upper hand. Any thoughts on this?

Edit: And in this context I would like to say that one major thing in making the game Eversong Woods one of the most interesting PBEM games I have had, is the role of diplomatics that created huge depth in the game and story of the races.

I agree with you Deroman. However, was it forbiden to ally with
more than one during game? I thought the "alliance with one race
only" rule was just a victory condition...

Yes, exactly. The strategically rational AND fun thing would be for the four other players to have allied against me and Laplace long ago. But that is well within the rules of the game. Even though the alliance will eventually have to break up it will have to work together for now. Actually I think that is part of what has made Eversong Woods so interesting. If the larger alliances didn't have to break up it would have made for a much more static game.

Dead bodies can be annoying...

Restart due to chaning cities again. I have a question. I
play AoW on WinXP on both my PCs. How does it work
on Win7? How about Win8? Does it work at all?

i think , if they don't work too well, you can play them on compatibility mode (for previous windows)

im playing under windows 7, and mostly no errors (i dont remember anyone specific)

Jopbem?

Sorry, I no longer have time to play. Shall I resign?

No jopbem, don't! I am a bit short of time myself too, and I think many others as well. The only way we can possibly survive as diverse and dynamic, great community that we are here in AoWH, is that we have to adjust into the changing situations of the members.

So if you can find the time every now and then, that will be enough for me. I hope many others agree with me on this!

Okay

Enemy of my enemy is my friend, but the enemy of my friend is my ally? The remaining diplomats of the Azrac Expedition are displeased with Khan Tarash's diplomatics, that now include alliances with both Undead and Elves!

He is clearly too immoral to rule, yet he is the only one to rule...

Deroman: I just noticed your post above from 10-10-14, I didn't see it before...
But you are right that it makes a more interesting (and balanced) game if the weaker players band up against the strongest player/alliance. However I this is already possible as the rules are now; you can form as many alliances that you want, you just have to break some of them before the end (and that as well has the possibility of adding some extra flavor to the game when you don't know if those you are allied with will remain allied or if you do know that they eventually are going to be your enemy)

Dwarves - Day 42

After a long cold war against the highmen the war turns hot. Literally, as hordes of fire elementals stand ready to burn them all.

Lets purify the world.

T.S.

Jopbem, could you send this game one last time? I believe I can destroy your last few units next turn.

Is there any way we can continue this?

We could send Jopbems turn to one of us, surrender his race and continue from there?
