Square Leg is Garrim Gyrrrrrrr - An Angry Dwarf

[Square Leg]

So iskender can't cast bloom in my lands which is really bloody annoying. Starting to wish I was spi/fin!

Iskender mailed me and asked if there was something I wanted in return. I can't think if anything off the top of my head. The deal was 5 blooms in return for him getting the xp from razing ultigar. Win win for me so I am tempted to just chalk it off as goodwill. I may aswell get a 10t mana deal though. He has enchantment, spirit, fire and........ Can't remember. Maybe fire once kote comes in.

Proper update after the weekend unless I get some time tomorrow.

Spirit I is Inspiration, isn't it? That should be more useful than Fire unless you're planning on getting Sorcery.

Yeah - it also gives a 3% boost to research which is nice. I suppose it depends on whether I want a short term gain (Spirit) or a long term gain (Fire). I will need fire mana for fireball wielding golems at some point! Although I seem to be doing my best to avoid them right now!

That's Mind Mana gentlemen. Spirit 1 gives the Courage promotion.

T119

Here is a shot of F7 - 2 free spreads this turn to Earthsea and Howls Castle.

Not a lot else to say about this turn now.

T120

War is declared between the Clan and Balseraph. I receive this message from Tredje:

Hi Square Leg,

As you probably expected I am now at war with the Clowns. I see that he has a Disciple of Leaves next to your new city. Does he have more units in or around your lands?

Tredje

and my reply:

Hi Tredje,

No, he doesn't have anything in that region. I'd appreciate it if you don't kill the Leaves guy. He is going to give me a spread and so will be gone shortly.

Thanks,
SL

I don't see any reason to play games so a straight up reply.

I move Barny and supporting warrior onto the ancient tower in the south and see this:

The mouse over is in the clan city of Sorodh. The city has a monument and so will be producing 2 culture per turn. With the spread of leaves in Howls Castle and a monument I will be getting 3cpt so I'll push the border back to where it should be if nothing else. I get the feeling that this area of the map will see some action at some point!

Here is a shot of Earthsea highlighting the happy bar:

The remnants of patria adding +3 is sweet. Iskender not being able to bloom those plains is a bummer.

T121

Getting better!

T114 +89bpt @ -6gpt (90%)

T119 +136bpt -11gpt (100%)

T121 +165bpt -17gpt (100%)

Next turn will be a save gold turn and then it will be on to Philosophy (2t) and Ways of the Wise (2t) followed by Honor (4t). I have a funny feeling though that I can get that down a turn as the overflow from Philo into WotW will likely make that a 1t tech.

Any questions, feel free to ask as always!

Fire it is!

How to build an army??!?!

I am considering a swap back into God King. If only I could get a GA from somewhere and I would swap into GK and save cash whilst building units in my capital non-stop. I would swap out of GK at the end of the GA and back into aristocracy.

Said gold would then be spent on upgrading warriors -> Ratha's

Must remember to build stables!! Two cities that will need them asap are Kobe and Totoro. They can both churn out half decent hammers and so they will be the best locations long-term. I also need a Studio in Kobe asap - after the mud golem.

[Square Leg]

Hi Square Leg,

I see the pieces of a former golem just outside my borders. Did you have an accident?

Tredje

For fucks sake.

What a useless hero.

[Selrahc]

Did you and Iskender not work out some sort of training dummy program?

[Jkaen]

Barnie does seem less than efficient atm
