	Subliminal Soothsayer Statement Get a bigger avatar today!

I have heard murmurings and yet again my deafness is caused by heresy from far flung rumors of our inabilities...which is indeed a distant future reality should we stray from the path we need to be on..

Often whence we have opportunities to strike fear in the hearts and souls of our enemies which we should have as close arch rivals but even closer should our most hated enemies for this way we can help guide their actions by dictating their deeds .....indeed ..............deeds of trust we will use them as a puppet for our plans and pilgramage to our promised land!

Why do nations arise only to become trodden under by bands of militant revolutionaries?

Revolutionaries are not strong nations?

They are not methodical?

They are fueled by a passion and emotion that needs to be continually stocked!

Indeed this is what I have seen in a military campaign..

We must not kills off and remove the remnants of what has happened but rather display them so that the scourge that follows will have no doubt that the body and soul of our enemy hath no honorable mention nor place of resting on this earth known soon to be under the Reign of BLOOD OATH HORDE

Regarding the war plans, it seems that Force Blue can indeed take a more direct route 2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2 toward the Pig capital. I think we can change settler in Bokhara to sword and then start settler so we build it when Bokhara reaches 5 as per suggestions by our Minister of Interior and expert micromanager Rob.

I tell you for fluffy my visions and weeding out the under growth with a small fire I see now that these actions such as mentioned here only give creedence to what has been seen by Plato and myself over a thousand terrain tops and that is an under current of a wave for which we have not seen the crest but more so have smelled the stench of the filth washing onto the souls of our people.

I would now ask for a candle to be lit on the inner walls of the hearts of my people in whom I serve. Allow the buring incense to illuminate the nostrils from where we all breathe and then at each breath identify the purity and savor it but then spew forth the infectios thoughts of a world peace for actions we see are only the beginning

People as Sage I have been ordained and thus covet the best for all of our chosen few and as I live and breathe and part and parcel along his highness Plato's side we both shall deliver the wretched dreams we are now seeing come to fruition..

When will this single dog whimper?

when will this single dog turn and run only to return in a pack?

The war on pigs progresses very successfully, frankly well beyond my most optimistic hopes and dreams. Still, we must not surrender to euphoria. War, even though it is victorious for us at the moment is still not won. So, after a night of celebration at the wild boar, I sobered up by contemplating about the following issues:


1) Memphis is empty and the warrior guarding it was moved to protect the pig workers. Three possibilities:

1a) The pigs manage to move defenders to protect Memphis. I suggest we move away from Memphis with our wounded Devastator. A second option is to attack the unit in Memphis if regular warrior, but that's risky for two reasons: It may not be the only unit and even if only unit Devastator will likely lose (2 HP vs 3HP). Still, it might be worth a shot, because if successful it is going to be crushing for the pigs.

1b) The pigs leave Memphis empty. Here we have 3 possibilities: Size 4 Memphis, size 3 Memphis and size 2 Memphis (result of a pop rush). We will undoubtedly take Memphis in any case, but are we going to keep it or raze it, that's another question. I'm for razing Memphis if size 4 or 3 and keeping if size 2 because we won't be able to quell more than one resister with only one unit inside the city. Also, shoul the pigs manage to retake Memphis, it will be auto razed if size 1. The idea of capturing and keeping Memphis regardless of its size has its merit because it will in that case act as a magnet for pig forces thus probably softening the defence of their heathen capital.

2) Heliopolis is empty, but we know there is a warrior just outside Heliopolis which is likely going to go back. What do we do? Two options:

2a) Attack Heliopolis with our conscript BBB. Similar to 1a, if successful that will be a major blow pigs will never be able to recover from. In the case of Heliopolis we may wish to consider the option to keep it, not raze it even if large city because we have our elite Bataar who may be able to come down there and help our BBB in restoring order.

2b) Move 6 to threaten the newest and probably empty pig city.

3) Our Bataar is elite and very precious. We can't risk him by coming closer to Home to see what is going on there. If we do that he may be attacked by archers. Instead we should keep Bataar near the porker border and move it south toward the newly built porker city east of Heliopolis.

4) Our two archers can either proceed toward the pigs alone or wait one turn to be joined by 3 swords. I'm for delaying their advance for one turn. It is essential to provide our archers better protection.

5) Proximity of Colin. We suspect the pigs and the DR have a tech agreement and maybe also a defensive alliance. Therefore there is a certain risk the DR may go on offensive against us. Do not underestimate their vet warrior Colin - he is a real threat. For that reason I recommend we change our builds in Bloodview and Iron city to warriors or archers to be prepared to dispatch Colin should he decide to attack our poorly guarded rear.

That's all for now. More will follow tonight.

After some more thought I came to the conclusion the late pig spear and the late pig warrior were both from Memphis, leaving the city completely empty. This guarantees we'll have the option to march into empty Memphis next turn. However, not all is good for our Horde. The smelly pigs have connected their horse and we should expect an onslaught of their fearsome War Chariots

In view of this I suggest we ask our friends the Bards to let us in on pig secrets. We should offer to pay for the establishment of the Euphorican Embassy with the Pigs. It is essential for the success of our enterprise to learn if the pigs have pop rushed a war chariot in Home or not. If they have, Bataar should avoid Home and hurry south for that newest porker city. Also Memphis must be razed. If they have not pop-rushed a war chariot, Bataar should move close to Home and we can take Memphis.

Third issue: We probably should try to take Heliopolis with our conscript BBB. If he succeeds the victory will be ours in not longer than 13 turns.


By the way, after some more thought I think we shouldn't change builds in Iron city and Bloodview, rather return our warrior who left for Bokhara for upgrade. He is the only warrior who can make it in time. This of course if Colin has crossed the border. If he has not crossed the border, we should move that warrior one space closer to Bloodview. This will position him on a road between Bloodview and Bokhara, equidistant from both cities. That way we make sure he is both available for quick upgrade and for defence of our Bloodview if needed. As soon as Colin has left we can move that warrior to Bokhara for upgrade.

If Memphis is low on food, starve it down in size instead of raze it.

If they have a warchariot that threaten any of our troups we should retreat, or even disband. Rather then give them GA before our main stack arives.

We can't starve a resisting city and with only one warrior as a garrison we won't be able to quell the rebels (Pigs have better culture). Also Memphis has plenty of food (note the irrigated fish). That's why we must raze it if bigger than 2 to avoid the possibility of Pig recapture.

However if Pigs fail to pop rush a war chariot next turn we should probably keep Memphis as it won't be really threatened for at least 2 more turns.

This is why I think information about them is essential and our Bard friends should be asked to provide it for us.

Indeed Our Great Leadership focus on many a valid point...

I would like to offer the insight that we should not stop but press forward as ur stack follows up we continue until we fill our bowels of swine

We would I hope gain a reputation that we offer no quarter

if indeed we have the upper hand

then a sacrifice may not be the worse thing to happen to our Horde

Other nations will understand our resolve

what sayeth on this matter now Great Leaders, is not the iron fully heated and indeed need of a place to be stuck?

Lest we give a chance and regreat we strike now

would be intersting to know what their true strength is
ie, do they have a war force ready to strike our homelands....

yes, I would prefer to wait 1 more turn to use this one time embassy intell. we would know then if we are able to head in and attack it, at this stage we do not know if we will be doing that yet
if we are not, then we could hold that ace up our sleeves until the main battle force arriives

Great Khan, if I may have a moment of your time... As a man that only rather recently took an interest in the affairs of the Horde, I am a little uninformed of the ways our nation is conducting politics. I am, however, very much interested in knowing more about the position of the Horde in the world. I understand that census is taken regularly by the honored ruler of our nation, and I was wondering where I could find the results of that. The latest information I was able to locate was of 2510bc. Is that, indeed, the latest profile of the Horde?

(Maybe I've had a little too much to drink at the Wild Boar, so pardon if this is not too coherent... I'm just askin' if there's a save of the game I could see somewhere. )
