I have lost. Well fought Pan.

Indeed, well fought metal men!  My magic was too much for you!

Jarlsberg Cheese is Greatly Upset by the Clearly Targeted Assassinations brought upon Us by The Musical Peoples. We suffered four (4) attacks, and He Highly Doubts that any other Nation came even close.

Immediate and Appropriate Compensation must be sent to Defray His Wrath. Insufficient Compensation will be Viewed as an Insult and will result in Even Greater Wrath. Tread lightly.

The musical people apologize, the Lord of the Hunt is a rather finicky fellow who really enjoys forests.  Sadly, as we share a common love of forests, it seems you were targeted more.  The Lord of the Hunt is bad at directions and has a firm belief that all forests are the same. 

I have sent 15 Astral Pearls as way of apology.

Anyone mind if I just go AI? I lost the chance to win a while back and while it is entertaining I fought off aggressors for so long, there's really not much I can do each turn but continuously fortify my capital and research.

We had lost two more Vanjarls to the Cowardly Magic of The Musical Peoples. Jarlsberg Cheese Demanded that they give Him Further Compensation. I may have Forgotten to Relay this Demand. Oops.

He sent our Werewolves to Collect the Debt that we were owed. Unfortunately, they have had a taste of Horseflesh and it will be Difficult to halt their Feeding Frenzy.

(( I was annoyed that 15 Astral gems was actually an appropriate compensation assuming ~40 gold per gem. But I can't afford to dispel Lord of the Hunt and two of my forts are in forests. I can't just stop recruiting mages out of those forts. So it pretty much forced my hand.

Now, where I attacked and what happened there is between me, Pangaea, and Ulm. Because I promised Ulm I'd avenge him and he deserves something to cheer him up. ))

Sailing goes from coast to coast, it doesn't care about who owns the sea provinces in the middle. I believe the default value is being able to sail over two sea provinces, but it's defined in the map settings if you want to check it to be sure.

It depends a bit on province placement and whether you're playing with saildist-1 or 2, but suffice to say it can be really powerful ability.

You can modify the sailing distance as a game (map) option? That's a quite nice feature.

Oddly enough I can't find it in the map making manual, but there's a forum post over at desura around version 3.99 with one of the devs listing some then-new map commands, including #saildist.

hmm...not very realistic that you can sail over enemy territory water if there are large devastating armies diving under your boots...is there an ingame reason why it works as it does or should it be seen as a "game feature"?

Well people can fly over hostile provinces, can't they. Sailing is essentially the same thing. Just like land provinces are mostly about things on the ground, so are sea provinces mostly about things that are relatively far from the surface.

It's been talked about in the official forum in the past enough that if devs didn't intend it, they'd have fixed it by now.

sure...I don't think it's a bug...but without radar and flak I see a different between flying and sailing units...but it's ok...not all has to be realistic ;)

Turns are 1 month though; flying units aren't in the air for that whole period, they're just mobile enough that they can avoid any intermediate forces.
