Hey peeps, I have to give myself a 24h extension. I'll try to get it done earlier tomorrow, but just in case. Sorry.

No need to hurry, I could use it too, due to waiting on exchanges. And almost everyone is turning in their turns late too.

Edit: unintended pun, I will accept divine punishment for my sins, should it be delivered.

I'd like to request a 24h turn extension, if at all possible. I can do my turn but would risk a significant setback over an unfulfilled trade order, without the extension.

Edit: no need for an extension, it was solved; if this request misleads anyone into not sending a turn, thinking today'd be extended, though, I vote for a roll back, without reservations.

Well, that's me done, thank god. Er, excuse me-- thank The Art of Hover Farting.

Did you just lose some major battle?

Niefelheim seems to have had its last couple provinces at 100 PD each, for 10k gold.

Even if it was already possible or even probable that it was the AI that spent all the gold on PD, 10k gold pushes it out of "someone has been financing Niefelheim" territory and into "something happened with the AI which I don't know about" territory.

Plus the mercenaries, and temples.

Does anyone know if there are any mechanics in place through which that could have happened? That does not even feel like the sort of bonus an Impossible AI'd get, so I am down to guessing on a lump sum gold injection on going AI.

Huzzah! My starting commander has clawed his way back into the Hall of Fame!

Gotta say, though, I think I'm most impressed by the #2 entry, an indy Annunaki that's managed to die twice. 

He must have learnt the legendary Twicedead spell. An unfortunate and often fatal misspelling of the Twiceborn spell.

Man, no one ever wants to secretly bankroll me.

Though if someone did sent over a pile of gold and he spent it all on province defense that's actually hilarious.

Now consider it is a random province with no actual use.

Niefelheim briefly broke through the siege on his capital, due to a mix of fortune (lammashtas extraordinarily routed my casters early in the battle), Avenger (a 300 hp, high SR, Heroic Tougness Niefel Jarl Prophet in Dominion 10/Cold 3 with a Sword of Quickness), over 100 gems being burnt in questionable summons, and me being negligent with the siege, not wanting to leave too many mages parked there, since I had it under high unrest lockdown and the Irminsul would need specialized tools to kill if it had the right spell set (20 prot, 500 hp, 20% regeneration, and slash/piercing/blunt resistance is no joke, though I now know Niefelheim did not have most of the spells necessary).

Niefelheim had a single turn of recruiting window, during which it split to take two provinces. I then took the capital back the very next turn and destroyed the majority of their forces in the magic phase. Then they did a turn, apparently PD dumped 100 PD on the province their last 17 units were standing, recruited mercenaries, and went AI.

Whoever gave them all that money, if someone did, gave all that money to someone unable to even use it, which is the more hilarious part.

The Hall of Heroes is looking prettty gloomy. When will someone start pulling out some festive mummies?
