We need to take over that Bannor city to be able to complete our variant, so I'd vote for them but I can see the advantages of hitting on Kandros Fur!
Git it, BTW, will play tomorrow.

I meant Tsunami. My bad.
I loaded the save, looked at the diplo screen. Do we want war with Kandros yet? Means war with Basium and Alexis. We would have to leave a large force down south to ward against possible vampiric incursions.
Post thoughts and I'll play in the next 24.

Kill Sabathiel.

Actually, I think this is the way. If I can do this, then maybe Kandros will capture Sabathiel's city for us.
I'll declare and get rid of Alexis and just harass Kandros until I see whether he's going to attack Sabathiel or us.
I draw up a loose battle plan. I will focus on Basium first while seeing what Alexis and Kandros will move and where. Alexis has a beastmaster in Kuldevind, so I wait a turn to get one of my own down there forst.
Some southern city have little or no defense, so I move the defenders around.
I acidentaly mis-click and declare war on Kandros a turn before I meant to. No big deal really.
Sabathiel's price is reasonable (he's the only one without Arcane Lore).
We take Bourne first turn of the war and we spot Basium himself. 7 meteors soften him up and we take him down.
First IBT of the war, some Kandros troops appear near the frontline which are easily cleaned up.
Second IBT, Bambur shows up and 11 Angels suicide on the single flurry in our stack
.
We have one unhappy city, so I make this trade.
A message appears saying that the Bannor have captured a city. Not sure if this is good news or not.
Bambur checks back out.
Third turn of the war WW goes to 15
. I revolt to Nationhood. Basium will be dead this turn as well, so hopefully these two combined make a difference.
Bye bye big angel.
I really want to raze his last city but it has Tablets of Bambur so is kept.
My WW cutting efforts have reduced WW to 11. We have a 5 penalty for not being in Republic. I think City States is no longer for us but will wait a while.
Alexis invades and a treant is summoned.
The war effort goes smoothly.
Disaster strikes when Losha Valas kills Kithra (there were 8 other units in the city, I thought heros didn't defend). In any case, we kill our third hero in 4 turns.
Precision comes in and we go for Soul Debt.
The culture slider is boosted to 20%.
We march on and capture another holy city.
Or at least I think we do The game crashed soon afterwards and I couldn't get it to load back up. Here is a save from just before the above event. You know what to do.
Kandos will be no more in a couple of turns. Alexis, however, has a small stack (1 crossbow and a few vampires) heading into our lands. I have left them alone to see where they are headed and they might actuall be headed for Sabathiel's troublesome city.

Looks good...hope that crash isn't the end of the game 
.
Can we make peace with Alexis yet? We need some time to terraform our new lands before finishing her off (I assume we are going for Domination at this point).

It has being been gotted by me. Advice/plans before I play?
The game originally crashed a while after the save (I try to save often) and would load back up. It crashed as I was re-taking the city.
Last I checked Alexis wouldn't talk but I'd see if her mini-stack was headed for Sabathiel first.

I've been pressed for time lately, so I was only able to get two turns done. I know I'm past the deadline so either I'll try to finish it by this time tommorow or one of the team can take the save now to speed up the SG.

Oops, I don't have the correct save. I must have forgotten. It was very late at night. But I don't think I should replay my turns, as there is one thing that having knowledge of beforehand would mess up the game. Someone else can take it.

Hmm...I don't remember what the roster is anymore, I hope I'm not up. I was thinking of installing 0.31. Does anyone know if that can be installed in parallel with 0.30? If not, I'll hold off until this SG finishes.
Darrell

0.31 is a seperate install to 0.30 so you can run both (as I'm doing).

Hmm, we should not be in city states during a late game war (+25% WW), but I can't do anything about that now - we're locked out of revolting.
t362 (0): The Baron + Yvain take out the 2 defenders of the new Khazad capital of Riylod. We are short on garrison troops to hold our conquests though as the Baron refuses to spawn any more werewolves, and have insufficient force on the western front to take Kuldevind from Alexis. Decide to aim for peace with her asap as we lack a proper fleet to intercept her naval movements.
Our super 71xp flurry in Khazak claims the Gela.
t363 (1): Culture raised to 30%. Bombard the next two Khazad cities
On the computer turn the Bannor, who have teched up to Arquebuses and Paladins, take Dis from the Khazad. For some reason the Crown of Akharien was there, not that it really matters anymore.
t364 (2): Soul debt -> Armoured Cavalry. Alexis' good units are wandering around inside our borders looking threatening, but not really doing much except forcing me to defend. A stack of weaker units shows up in Khazad territory though.
9 meteors and 5 fireballs decimate it.
t365 (3): I propose an overcouncil vote to stop the war against Alexis. There's a game crash during this turn but it proves to be recoverable.
Our Archmages hit Maros with 9 meteors and 3 fireballs taking him down to 6.6 strength, but even after that the Baron falls attempting to take him down with the Nether Blade, although weakening him enough that we clean up easily. Gilden Silveric inherits the sword.
t366 (4): Losha pops out of nowhere and kills one of our 2 defenders in Khazak. Then the Overcouncil peace resolution hits. Alexis is Friendly with us again.
t367 (5): I tried to level up the one werewolf we have, unfortunately without success. Oh well, werewolves are pretty much obsolete in the full tech endgame in any case.
Peace returns to the land.
t368 (6): Pillaging and terraforming. I spot Sabathiel's main stack, it's 40 strong.
t372 (10): Armoured Cavalry -> Mithril Working. Move the captured Syliven's Perfect Lyre to Tor Elyr. Built the Winter Palace in Galveholm.
t377 (15): The lands we have liberated from the Khazad are once more green and pleasant. Those ruled by the Bannor remain barren desert.
Check out the AI worker actions:
I decide to try and get the banning of death mana repealed in the next council vote.
Everyone remaining loves us (Sabathiel +28, Alexis +14, Sandalphon +28). Our forces are gathering at Tor Elyr. Bear in mind that Sabathiel has a 40 unit army sitting around somewhere.
