Rise of Nations - Forum Game

[LTDave]

Orders for Turn 10 have been recieved and processed.

Some Big Events this Turn:

The Empire of Shalum, Land of the God-King Shalin has collapsed. Financial Burdens became too much, and the units rebelled against the Scion of the Hills. All Cities have reverted to neutral, and Shalin has cwoaked.

The Forces of Lazarus have made use of a "Secret Path" scroll to move a pre-prepared army from the Western Mountains to the gates of Stoneheart, where they are met by a small force returning from Caba. Otherwise, the City would be undefended...

The Shipyards of Nobgrub are busy...

The Shipyards of Qerte are busy...

[The Colonel]

Does this mean Stoneheart is out of the game?

[ETheBoyce]

A good question given that my ruler did not take part in the fight.

[LTDave]

Stoneheart continues on... the ruler escaped...

Can they take back their home city?

[LTDave]

Players have 48 hours to send in some orders...

[The Colonel]

You have mine right?

[LTDave]

Yes. And Magnificent they are too, if I may say so, Colonel Sahib.

[Azgrut]

I will send them somewhere tomorrow.

[The Colonel]

Sahib? Please explain the joke.

[LTDave]

I have orders from only 2 of the 5 players - Azgrut and The Colonel.

If folks are losing interest, we will call it a day. I grant a 24 hour extension for turn 11 orders...

[ETheBoyce]

You never gave me updated information

[LTDave]

Ok. Sorry, missed that request. Done Now.

Karadan and Harry1991 have gone AWOL - they haven't opened their PMs in a little while.
And tigerusthegreat disappeared some weeks back - hence the collapse of Scion.

Might be time to call it a night...

[Azgrut]

Sure thing. There is no use in playin with only a few players. It was a real fun game though. Gave a good erfworld feel with the rules as they were. Traps could be made and prevented. Like the attack on the capitol. Master stroke.

I just say. Write a nice epilogue of how you think the lands of this small erf would end. That way it has a closed ending at least.

Nice playing with you guys!

[The Colonel]

Azgut's request is seconded.

[LTDave]

Just a little taste of the original map...

[LTDave]

Stoneheart strikes for vengeance, launching the Army in Habu direct at a poorly defended Lazarus...
The two Kingdoms each swear vengeance, and a war of vendetta that lasts a thousand turns begins...

Trantor (predictably) collapses under the weight of its own bureaucracy, and is quickly divided between Golmon and Nobgrub, who eye each other with great suspicion accross their mutual frontier. Both sides accelerate the arms race of Naval construction, each seeking an edge over the other...

Things are far from resolved here in Erfland, but for now, this is where our story ends...
