    The attempt isn't against him. You need to spend an action to try and help someone else defend against an assassination.

    Arenhal.

    Also we did not retcon it so it was not "abandoned and forgotten" It just had a large government collapse which took years and years to recover from until around the time of Arenhal joining up where they could restart easier. The Liberanthium was always there. it was just powerless and divided to reflect it's lack of player.

    I ain't dead.

    Apologies for the radio silence, folks. At first, it was just because last week at work was really crazy. I came home, and simply didn't have the energy; or was focused on other, more face-to-face games. This week, I had no such excuses, and every intention of making my presence - and your stats - known.

    Alas. IRL happens.

    I won't go into the 'drama', but let's just say that things and stuff occurred and on top of that I got sick. So I've been keeping my head down - from both the sickness and because it helped avoid further drama - which meant restricted if no access to the internet. Yes. I did get the jitters. Internet addiction is a thing; but thankfully one I only require a small fill of. I could stop at any time. Really. Just someone needs to buy me a smart phone with no internet access.

    Anyways, Spring Court actions (and Aardrosil's too!) are my focus for today. If we have a next round, I will overhaul all the stats, and post them sometime after the round ends. Theoretically, within 24 hours of the round ending.

    Speaking of which...

    I'd also like to apologise for my absence this fortnight. It's just been one of those times and combined with the game ending really soon my motivation's been completely sapped. There's no real point doing anything mechanical at this point as Anceris is quite literally at peace and expanded as they can cope with. I'm just going to focus on finishing up my last region write ups and a fitting epilogue instead.

    Yeah, adding to the apologies pile on. I've been under the weather, had some stuff to do at work and frankly not overly motivated with the end coming so soon.

    Because of the lull in activity, I'm going to call this round the last round of Empire 2. Just a heads up to all those at war with the Crystal Union, we should be open to a surrender talk this turn. Our military happens to be running kind of low.

    Your demands might be relevant if conditions of the war hadn't changed, Dark.

    I'm thinking all the conversions I did are a tad off. Every region at least already had a minority. Carraig Dún, I believe, had a majority, so I was converting to Sole.

    I'm not sure how they've changed in such a way as to change the demands. Admittedly, the CU is saved turning over Paige by her own people turning against her, but an unconditional surrender is all we'll accept.

    That's my bad. You didn't specify in your post and I didn't feel like looking it up. Though they rolled higher for Pale Lady than you did for Carraig Dún, so that would prevent your Sole from happening if you rolled high enough.

    So Aleuta is suddenly spotted back from the dead chillin' with the Dalesmen, and suddenly my people discovered the existence of three more dragons... And it's the last round.

    Does the 8+ score things work even if you already did use the 10 action? Or no?

    I think that I'm going to call it so that this isn't the case - This was more just for those who were building up so that they didn't get cut off in any way to their end goal if they had one.

    As for the dragons, I don't mean to say much except for that there was only revealed to be another two - The dragon of the mountains is dead by the hands of Zellevera; Thus how she acquired her powers. (It used to be in Tyrvania)

    The ending is supposed to be open enough that everyone can decide how things go - This is for worldbuilding after all. The other two dragons, spirits appearing, and serpent are all completely open to player interpretation in the epilogue.

    No, I actually can't.

    I'm trying to get better at writing, pointing it out would be quite helpful.
