Yeah, I'll let it rest at that with only a little comment of "being caught (trying) to start a war is cause for war".

How ironical that worldwide event was to happen on this very turn that I planned to stop my mages from researching.

I do love me some public dramas.

Alright, time for a creative little way to spite my soon-to-be killer.

Province 24, "Ancyrna", which happens to be my final fort, contains 2 noteworthy sites. The first is already known publicly to be The throne of the Night: Underwhelming but still a throne.

The second site is The Steel Ovens. It provides 75 resources and more importantly gives a Construction bonus of 20. For anyone in the mood to do some crafting it can be incredibly valuable.

At the moment Vanheim is about to march upon it, but it does occur to me that it is a tad close to Ulm's much more impressive army. I'll admit to failing to properly scout the Ur/Caelum situation, but the fort would also be not that far out of the way for them.

Anyone interested in this site might also want to contact Yomi, who would be in prime location to disrupt Vanheim's incredibly long and thin stretch of land between his capital and this area.

Wow, check out Eris with the golden apple over here. (Of course, it should be mine. It says it's for the constructionest after all.)

Yum yum, delicious fried frog. Granted, Pyrrhic victory and all, but still. It even crashed the game the first time I watched the battle.

EDIT: Despite being a bigger mass murderer than some people on the Hall of Fame, my Eagle King is not on it. I suspect it is that none of his 140 kills were in glorious hand-to-hand combat.

Vanheim is the devil and greedy, they are at war with me, too - so feel free to engage ulm and grab it, make em pay for being greedy.

Also, wtf was that battle?

Casting Storm, when most of your army is flyers? Sure, maybe you -reallllly- need that storm power. Casting Wrathful Skys when most of your army is NOT lighting immune AND you have the larger army vs Trash?

You did more damage to yourself then I ever could.

Also I made you a meme:

To be honest, I've never used Wrathful Skies before, so I didn't expect it to be so... epic.

The Battlefield enchantments are all over the place. Acid Storm does nothing to anyone, Falling Stones kill everything, the heat/cold effects can be very hit and miss - and earthquake kills everything if my enemy uses it, nothing if I use it.

True, that was a pretty close fight and good fun to watch. Shame so many crushers surived, but they don't really heal all that well anyways. You could stop walking over the border?

Falling Stones kill everything

You're living in the past! Stop living in the past!

It's a lot less lethal than it was in Dom4. A pale shadow of its past evil glory, really. On the plus side, though, it looks cooler and isn't quite as dubious balance-wise...

Calling for all nations to join me in the war on Vanheim, for obvious reasons.

[the Last image reposted here, with more Atlantis flags] - I'm coming to get you, for being mean to me and the kinky in-game messages.

I would LOVE it if I understood precisely how "mostly routed" works.

Calling for all nations to join me in the war on Atlantis. Especially Therodos, you would stand to gain the most by destroying the last UW nation (other than yourself, natch.) If Atlantian missionaries aren't on your doorstep now, they will be in 10 turns. Vanheim religion, on the other hand is tame and limited to Vanheim lands (and even then not most of them.)
