88 naufragar ist Montezuma

[naufragarRB]

"A death," but not necessarily "this death."

Nane stayed still to heal, so...

Before:


After:


I used the Great General on the units and turned on auto-promote. I also whipped the spear. I don't think his remaining troops can take my capital. He'll need to bring catapults from his homeland. Of course, there is always Ziankali...

[Hagen0]

You may have pulled nane into the abyss with you.

[naufragarRB]

[Empirate]

What a nice comeback for the loss of your catapult stack earlier. I can't fathom why nane attacked Tenochtitlan while not having near enough troops to finish what he started - but it works out nicely enough for you here.

[naufragarRB]

Hey wait a minute! I didn't tell you about losing the catapults!

(In case anyone hasn't been reading nane's thread with mine: I forgot about flanking and tried to retreat my catapults to the capital some time ago, so nane's Numidians just ate them all up. It was very sad and embarrassing, so I didn't mention it. )

[Empirate]

Sorry for blabbing, I didn't remember it was supposed to be a secret!

[Papa Bear]

It was no secret to us readers, anyway No harm done...

[HeymlicH]

Sorry for blabbing, I didn't remember it was supposed to be a secret!

Thanks, I didn't notice.

[naufragarRB]

You may have pulled nane into the abyss with you.

Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.


[Insert evil laugh here.]

While nane was pounding on me, Holland struck at his core. I don't know how much damage Holland can do, but nane emergency-whipped just about every one of his cities.

Ziankali is at peace with nane after taking a city. We'll see what Ziankali wants to do about me.

[naufragarRB]

Like vultures to a carcass:



I've taken back a city to slow nane down.

He can retake the city and raze it, so perhaps I should have waited until his troops were out of the area, but making him fight his way out seemed right to me. I've offered him peace in exchange for giving back the last city of mine that he has. We'll see what he does.

But I wonder who will die first.

I'm afraid Ziankali wants my blood.

[Atair]

Ziankali is a Gift.

[Hagen0]

Is that an intentional double meaning?

[naufragarRB]

Peace for the Holidays:


I mentioned that this peace would teleport nane's units closer to his home so he could defend himself. But beaming is always dangerous magic...


I thought about giving him open borders so he could get his soldiers home, but the blood of my people calls for vengeance, so no. He can find a different way.

But Ziankali still looms large. He can kill me whenever he wants. We'll see when he wants to.

[Vikitor]

Oh man, that's bad for nane. But your lack of pity is understandable.

He could declare war on the arab, but that would probably just beam his stack to where the greek chariot stands. From there, he can probably not even do a fun invasion of Khurasan.

[naufragarRB]

Dead! (Again.)

Because I'm a nice guy, I gave nane Open Borders in exchange for 50 gold.
