The goblin tribes of Regne send an expedition to england and never hear from it again.
Vespiqvon meets an aggressive tribe of humans to the north in Africa.
Jhasturad banks jack. Unrest starts building within the empire, as the leadership seems to have no direction.
Silesia and Aghstagh continue to clash throughout the forests. The faded men fortify and largely stay out of pitched battles with the undead, prefering to fight using guerilla tactics in stead. Unfortunately, not being able to face the undead in the open field has allowed them to take more land. [-1 undead division] The wood elves, seeing evidence of human involvement in the disapearance of their kingdred, have started raiding those villages.
Euryale and Testonica continue their war and a stalemate is achieved after Euryale's forces in conjunction with militia deliver a defeat to Testonica [-1 Testonica Draft Pool]. Stability in Euryale decreases as their leaders are seemingly innactive during a time of war.
Tortolia
Karr Mepork starts developing copper veins in their country to be able to further exploit further the advantages of bronze. Scouts have seen more and more goblin tribes unifying around Krazath (mostly through force), who seems to be staying alive longer than goblins usually stay alive. Is his life being preserved through magics!? Rumors that Krazath covets the wealth that Karr Mepork has accumulated should not be taken with a grain of salt.
Cahokia bank their jack.
Lusakaroon expands borders. Makes contact with Faeshire.
Faeshire expands modestly. inactivity from leadership has dropped stability in the realm. Makes contact with Lusakaroon.
Kreszentians banks jack and modestly expands. Develops Cotton which increases their economy.
Broghyr start developing Rhinos as strategic resource for their leather mostly as they expand northwest.
Asia
Mines of Hrisgard start construction on Great Manufactory of Armok, God of Blood. While expanding south they meet a hostile barbarian horde of Kobolds who have seen the dwarven tunnels as a chance to aquire great plunder for themselves. The dwarve's attention is too divided on developing other strategic resources at the moment to develop any more. (Banked the jack for your mentioned project)
Klthsstkl spiral even further into darkness, as they lose their grip on more of what was once a great Klthdom.
Kalvo finish developing rice, which improves the economy and increases draft pool. The Centaurs do not mount any attacks, and in fact a large tribe has offered itself as mercenaries to the Kalvo (See NPC diplo)
Gardu attempt to excavate more strategic resources through mining and have yet to come up with anything new. Meanwhile they're attempt to drive Gorfangia from their lands ends up with victories after Gorfang finally dies to old age. The coalition elects a new warchief called "Rotten Tooth", who vows to carry on the fight if Gardu doesn't cease hostilities. [-1 orc division]
Dredgendor expands economy and are attacked by the goblin tribes to the west! They seek to despoil all Dark elven lands and get fat loots!
R'leyh expand very aggressively this turn and expand farming operations (This coupled with the new expansion has increased economy). Several clashes with Zugurai to the east have happened, as both civilizations aggressively expand into the levant. Clashes with Adengae also occur as some slaves escape in that direction. An agressive policy in the mediteranean has seen some Testonican deaths at the hands of R'leyh, as well.
Ularmti once again calls to arms their entire populace to attack the humans to the north. Once again, their adversaries are no contest in the battlefield, and the nagas enslave every human they don't kill. [+1 economy, -1 stability]. Made contact with Antmen (grey blob) to the west.
Glorious and Eternal Elven Empire colonize lands around the Bohai sea and finishes the Imperial Capital, thus increasing stability and economy for them.
Krr reorganize their society around spider queens and expand like cray zee. They even start to develop small city-state like settlements.
Zugurai gobble up the rest of the unclaimed levant. Several clashes with Illithid troops have put Zugurai on alert, and a very visible increase in the size of their standing army has occured.
Andea
Shural research natural magics, trying to use the power of the rainforest for themselves.
Morthur has attacked the barbarian crabmen to the north! They do not fight in any pitched battles, only guerilla warfare. Progress has been slow, but steady.
Treplak nothing of import.
Arctica
Iceladon Banks jack
Africa
Lashishali banks jack.
Adengae starts researching fire magic, and develops their economy. Investing in the "children" races and fully accepting them into their society, they now feel as if they really are children to the giants and will now participate in defending the realm if required. A few border conflicts arise with the R'leyh, especially in the south where the humans attempt to escape from R'leyh to Adengae.
Mandalore calls to arms much of their civilization to deal with the elves. Many battles are fought and the mandalorians prevail after heavy losses. [-1 Human Draft Pool] The elves are not completely defeated though, and have rallied more tribes to the east together with them to fight against the Mandalorians!
Slezkak becomes the second civilization in the world to build a great pyramid.
Tronda bank jack and modestly expand.
Lalbok develops mostly culturally, experiencing some expansion. Attempts to develop iron here has bore no fruit, so far.
Boreala
Elgathon advances into goblin lands and attempts to encorporate the goblins into their realm, making houses for them using their fallen trees. Interesting idea, and some goblins have bought in.
NPC Diplo

Perhaps it is best if you would return to the waters. Your aggressive expansion is alarming, and we are prepared to defend ourselves against you.
From: Centaur Barbarians
To: Kalvo
We are impressed with your wealth and power and see that it might be futile to fight against you. We are proud warriors, and would be willing to offer our services if you would be willing to pay and feed us fairly (4 jack initially, 2 jack upkeep thereafter).
From: Testonica
To: Euryale
We have heard no reply from you, but we will advance no further. We do not wish for perpetual war with your country.
From: Gorfangia
To: Gardu
The waaagh! was good! We fight lots and both show strong. Respects given, and we go waaagh! against others?
