Boats are fleets. Crosses are Armies. Stars are occupied villages.
Notable events this turn:
Most Nations expanded. Alkimia named an island - Natria Oz and Ordos both sent armies to the same Village - since they are not at war, neither side occupied the territory.
Turn 2 starts now. Players have 72 hours to make declarations, and send in orders.
King Oz sends a courtier to Sigma Draconis IV and offers a trade agreement with the Executrix Council. In exchange for the trade agreement, my forces will leave the disputed village and occupy the neutral village directly northwest of the disputed village.
Iylzara interested in trading? As I appear to have a fleet adjacent to your territory? Shusagi interested in trading? As I appear to have a fleet adjacent to your territory?
"Your actions affect so many others than yourself. You will come to realise how little choice you have. You will do what you must, become what you must, or others will pay for your cowardice."
The Federated States of Old Risun regretfully declare war on New Arkadia as well.
"The Infantrymen of Erfworld have nothing to lose but their chains. They have Erfworld to win. Infantry of all sides: Unite!"--Kawl Mawx, Master-class Moneymancer Join New Erf! Never too many players!
8 Old Risun Knights attack New Arcade 5 hits - Garrison Eliminated.
All New Arcade Defenders eliminated. The City Falls to Old Risun.
Since Alkimia is not at war with Old Risun, their forces are unable to attack the City.
{I find myself in the situation against which I warn all GMs - don't overcomplicate it. I will keep the game going for a few more turns, but if the time consumption becomes too much, I may have to give it all up, and go back to Matrix Games, which are much less involved.}
I had asked LT_Dave some questions in this thread before sending him my orders as his answer affected how I was doing things. I had my orders all saved in a message ready to go.
I've PMed LT_Dave asking him to answer the questions, then rerun the turn once I've sent my orders in, so hopefully he'll accede to my request.
