Crow-kin: Infantry unit for the kingdom of Celestia. Black-feathered humanoids that resemble large wingless crows or ravens. They have talons on their legs and arms and often where grey colors with splashes of red and naturaul gems. The Infantry unit usually fights with a small shield and short spear.

*Edited to fit the format of everyone else

[Charlie]

1. Empire - Charlescomm, Leader - Charlie, Color - Light Blue
2. Start at location 2 (Eagle's Nest)
3. Level 3 City at G1 (Vanguard), Level 2 City at H4 (Overwatch)
4. Two Burning Man Units in each city, G1, I2, and H4

The Charlescomm Infantry Unit, Charlie hired a stuffamancer, a shockamancer, and a thinkamancer to create a construct unit that would tear into not only the bodies of his enemies, but also their hearts. This being, comprised of wood, enveloped by flame, has stood guard of Charlie's capital for many turns. Now, it looks to gain new ground for it's master.

[Sinrus]

Crovius, I'm pretty sure you can't put a city at H8 since it borders another city. But here's my turn:

UPKEEP COSTS: -18

COMBAT:

I would like to extend an offer of an alliance to Celestia. By alliance I don't expect any new rules, just an agreement between players not to attack each other. It can, of course, be broken at will.

*EDITED TO LOOK LIKE LTDAVE'S*

New unit: Sword Prophet (infantry)
These legions are made up entirely of tall, muscular men. They are inevitably bald and wear bulky gold armor, sans helmet, and wield broadswords. The interesting feature of these weapons is their flat, blunt tip. This gives the weapon the appearance of a steel cross when it is held blade down. The Sword Prophets are zealous and fanatical to a ridiculous degree, and will do anything to increase the glory and territory of the Holy Empire of Draviston.

Crovius,
Sinrus is correct - Cities may not be adjacent. In my map for turn 0 I've put it at G8 instead of H8, but you might prefer it go to another hex (J9?).

Spoiler: show

[Crovius]

No, it's fine where it is, please just move the infantry in I6 ro G6 and the Infantry in I8 to J9.

[Crovius]

One of the robed emissaries of the Crow-kin arrives at the front gates of Animus, calling up to the guards to open the gates and speak with Lord Sinrus on important diplomatic matters. The emissary had no weapons or defenses and he knew the guards could croak him in a moment but The Crow had assured him he was to speak with this Lord Sinrus and speak of the possible alliance between the two empires. The emissary had complete faith in the "All-Seer".

[Sinrus]

Although slightly repulsed by the Crow-kin's appearance, a guard leads him into Lord Sinrus's chambers. The Holy King of Draviston inquires as to whether or not The Crow has seen fit to ally with him.

[LTDave]

A 2B Ambassador arrives on a flying post-it note, and knocks very politely at the gates.

"An alliance between the Holy Empire and the Crow-kin is of concern to the whole world. You ally together, but against whom?"

[Sinrus]

Meh, I shoot you down. Just kidding!

But you have no place in our discussion. If you would like to form an alliance with the Holy Empire of Draviston, you are welcome to do so... but unless that is the case, I demand that your ambassador exits my city.

And now that the two of us are in Lord Sinrus's soundproof chambers, all diplomatic discussions will move to the private chat.

[Charlie]

"Hello, is this Marker the Impermanent? Hi, my name is Charlie. I'd like to interest you in a business proposition..."

[Sinrus]

Turbler is going to feel left out of the diplomatic loop.

[Crovius]

Only because he hasn't posted anything yet. It's only been 3 days since we all placed our units so I think he has till Monday before round 1 starts, am I right in that assumption?

[Sinrus]

Monday at 10 EST, yeah.

[turbler]

Ahh! I swore I posted my turn... Really...
The hour grows too late fo such a thing now, I think... But As I can, I will Edit this post, with the power of Change-A-Mancy it will become Jai's Turn 0
1. Jai, Turbler, and Purple, respectively
2. Location 1 Hex B3, Capital Name: Jai
3. Level 3 at D3, level 2 at D1
4. 2 cavalry at B3. 3 more at D3, and 1 flier at D1.
5. 61 Shmuckers after upkeep.

[Sinrus]

I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to go now. If not, I'll just delete this post.

COMBAT:

New unit: Ram of God (siege)
This heavy siege unit is a disconcerting mixture of biology and technology, primitive as it is. A frame formed of two triangular arches on wheels is pushed by a stack of unarmed units who have no purpose but to do that. Between the arches hangs a tree suspended by thick ropes, stripped of bark and painted gold. The end that is used on enemy fortifications is a golden-fleeced ram's head, but through the power of the Titans who watch over Draviston it is alive an sentient but requires no food or other nourishment. It has the ability to do only two things: bay loudly and swing itself and its curled horns at the enemies' gates.

[LTDave]

Sinrus - yes, you are right to go. Two hours till I can post.

I think there's an error in your upkeep costs - it should be -54, not -68.

And since turbler did not complete his turn 0 by the cut-off time, his forces are arrayed as follows:

Capital in B3, Level 2 in C1, Level 3 in A1. 2 Infantry in each to start.

Turbler - you are last in our turn order, which means you have to wait for the other four players to post turn 1 before you can do so. Can I urge you to be timely in your posts, or we may have to remove and replace you.

[Sinrus]

Thanks, I fixed that error. A bit of a bad omen for it to happen first turn though

New Unit: Sky Raider - These massive black birds carry a pair of Crow-kin warriors into battle. They throw spears down upon their enemies and their mounts can use talons and beak to tear at enemy fliers and ground units alike. Sky Raiders are revered as the reincarnation of great warriors that fell in battles many turns ago, and are treated with great respect. They are kept well groomed and feed on spiced meat, usually from fallen enemies.
