Welcome Iggy!

It's up to the mod to decide whether they actually work it out or not.

On the subject of horsemen, I'm still waiting to hear whether the cavalrymen of Vethmenari shall ride on giant doom-bears. Yes, that does sound a little absurd when you say it like that, but I will make it work!

Daft already shot the idea down. See two pages ago. And yes, juvenile would be the correct word for it.

So I can build chariots, but is Xitaan still hiring me swordsman, last turn they hired me to help fight the Zharu, this turn?
Chicratic Zub Chacut
Zectracac held up his Hacut club-sword at the ready, his warrior band standing menacingly behind him, armed with similar weapons and bedecked in animal pelts or the elabourate feathers of the jungle birds.
Before him stood a group of traders, clad in the rough grassy weave of the Hubrians.
“You have entered the lands of the Holuc Chachuc, under the sight of Zectracac. State your cause.”
The Hubrian company seemed somewhat nervous, with the exception of one, a leaderlike figure with a regal headdress, who stepped forward.
“On your lands we tread, Zectracac of the Holuc Chacuc, with goods of trade, much as those of your lands travel to ours.”
Zectracac nodded, his teeth showing slightly in a small grin. This man knew the proper forms of formal address.
“Your answer satisfies me. However, I must ask a question. Is your home in the lands of Maltik?”
“The homes of my ancestors were there. I still may travel there, but for the Hulakap.”
“And they are the subject of my inquiry. Wildmen have entered with arms into the lands of the Holuc Mactric, under the sight of my mother’s brother’s son, Citrapec. I have heard dire rumours that they are fighting alongside these Hulakap.”
“They have been ever as such... doubtlessly they view you as yet another threat to their power.”
“And have you heard anything of this?”
“No, master of the Holuc Chacuc, I have not.”
“Very well. Continue on down yonder path, you will find Zectracac’s village some day’s walk beyond.”
“Many thanks, hospitable sir.”
Slowly, the Hubrians marched past, disappearing down the jungle path into the mist.
“Alright, we continue as planned- to the lands of the Holuc Cirit, to meet their battle challenge.”
“And the forces of Citrapec?”
“Can handle themselves.”

Thanx guiz! Update is sortof progressing, if I knew what everyone was doing by this time tommorrow that would be a big help!
Welcome @Lord_Iggy
This world lacks much in the way of polar landmass, however penguins are welcome to share the hamster monitoring/mind-control bases on the moon if they wish. Also I didn't have much in mind for Holuc culture, other than obtaining social rank through achievements in combat, so you can meddle with that however you want.
Yeah @Kraz I'm afraid I can't be handing out special breakthroughs like that. I appreciate your story, and its awesomeness, but the randomness of dice rolling will ultimately decide... The 3e spending can definately go on military units of some kind.
@Lord of Elves, I did reply about that. While you could maybe tame a few bears if you capture them at a young age, they are not the kind of critters you can domesticate. I agree its a cool idea though

Hmm... Well we might say your dudes have the initiative, so in-game you still have the element of suprise, and iggy's orders are taken as being the reactions. Anyway you are welcome to re-send via PM if you want, I haven't done any updating for that part of the world yet.
Abaddon

Nah, unless the dice rolls go considerably badly.. i don't really see how i can lose.. not being cocky.. just how things look..

Daft do you think you might switch to a PM-based system of orders soon as players grow more attached to their various cultures and they develop into full fledged civilizations?

Ahh, thank you, Daftpanzer, I must have missed that.
Abaddon

Aye, me neither. Just i was marching a fairly large army against that nation before you took over.. and expect it to get rolled over. I hope Dafty doesn't go soft on it since its a player nation now

I'd just like to note that the last time you tried to do this, you got overthrown and enslaved, so I don't think PC or NPC has anything to do with it.
Abaddon
Deity
Well i made a grave error of misjudging how Dafty controls NPC's and also misjudging the NPC themselves. Mistakes were made.. I marched my army away and left my home too lightly defended (tho even then it was 1Vet Vs 2 normal units, so dice must have rolled on their favor)
