"I assume that they have a, how you say, history. Now hold still please."

Gilbert was running all over the place, trying to stabilize the most wounded so they could be on their way while also making sure the ones on their feet stayed that way in case the bandits got their courage back.

My avatar is perfectly accurate except for the monocle.

Holy shit why did we need even more dudes down.

Okay so the FE has thus far declined to go to war with me. I even settled another tomb world (one of the worlds that always spawn near you that match your preferred type) and they remain at -50 opinion. Well, I'm not going to complain.

Another odd thing that happened is that I found another civ not too far from me, one of those xenophobic spiritualists. I closed borders of course, declared them a rival, did my best to start building up a fleet for inevitable war...and just a minute ago they completely dropped off the radar. They no longer appear in my contact list, nothing showed up in the event log. However, scouting what was their turf reveals that there are still plenty of stations up and worlds are still inhabited...so, what happened?

EDIT: Apparently they got rolled up by an advanced start AI, probably via warfare. Friggin wonderful. Fallen Empires on one side and AIs with massive head starts on the other.

So folks, are you hoping for RP time before the next map or would you rather jump to it?

Sure looks that way.

...I'm also not understanding why the AE fleet refused to flee. In my experience, large fleet actions like that rarely result in the total destruction of one side or the other in a single battle. If the AI feels outmatched, they'll flee with what they can.

: "The Cipio home is roughly sixteen hundred miles from here, Miss al-Ghul, and news can only travel so quickly. By the time we were aware of just how dire the circumstances were, the bulk of the Wasteland horde was in our way. Call it overconfidence if you wish, but at the beginning of the invasion we truly had no idea that they would cause as much damage as they did."

Zelda just stared in bemusement for a moment before answering.

: "Lady Gawen speaks truly. I understand if your work in a lab and subsequent imprisonment have made you ignorant of the overall strategic situation Sir William...but there simply are not that many soldiers around here to call upon. The Briarpatch militia, small and ill-equipped as it was, was actually one of the better ones near Castle Konrad. Many villages have already sent all of their young men - and women, yes - off to fight in other regions and simply can't spare anyone else."
