Right now I am Hianthrogh(sp) (I have a soft spot for the Elves and Lizards), playing PW2. I -think- I am on an island off the main Old World continent, but I cannot be sure thanks to all the God damned barbarians and animals roaming around. I've met the Balseraphs and the Clan of Embers, which means I'm likely in for some hell because they are two evil civvies and I am a good civvie (not to mention the both occupy the jungles, huge competition there!)
There is no real conflict here. I am the clear leader thus far (it's a marathon game, turn 157 so still rather early) and no one wishes to bother me. I've killed off most of the barbarians who tried to invade and just set up my second city along the island-continent's major river (which I have named Iri). I have, however, been RPing my own little conflict to the south west of my capital.
See, there are these two forts, an abandoned Goblin one and a fort proper. They are right across from one another and seperated by a river. My scouts tell me that these coastal forts pretty much block off a rich coastal area filled with fish, boar, and strange white grain (rice). The Scorpion Clan goblins abandoned their small for closest to my capital when their brethern heeded the call of some distant clan (thanks For the Hoard!) who is seeking to band the greenskins into a proper destructive force. This allowed for me to claim the fort, which I RP'd as the Pettla Clan as joining my growing kingdom.
In exchange of helping the Pettla's claim the goblin fort their leader, Chieftain Icuari (the fort commander) has promised to do battle against the greenskins across the river. These barbarians did not heed Sheelba's call and are lead by Ozgma the Lizard-Eater (their fort commander, he has 1 unit of scorpion clan goblins underneath him). For 60+ turns the units traded bombardment attacks, which I have RP'd as Icuari and Ozgma fighting punitive battles. In my capital, after I built some Lizard Shapers and Fishing Boats and Temples and etc, I started to build warriors- 6 to be precise. These six warriors represented the growth of the Pettla Clan and their growing orientation towards organized warfare.
Finally, like two turns ago, I completed the 6 warriors and had Icuari fight some more skirmishes against Ozgma and his goblins. Then I attacked. Miraculously the first band of lizard warriors did not die; they defeated Ozgma when they had a 1.1% chance of victory. Soon after the rest simply rushed in and swept the remaining goblins aside and claimed the fort in the name of the Pettla Clan and the Holy See of Nochtli.
Now here is where you would think there would be some happy ending, but nope! I built a settler in Nochtli, representing the Pettla Clan's newfound desire to settle down and join civilized life proper. This settler was escorted by the 6 warriors, more so as an honor guard/triumph because I figured that nothing was going to happen.
However the six warriors were defeated and the settler killed. There are four treants spawned on this coastal area. So now the Pettla Clan has to contend with the vile tree-demons to get to their promise land! D:
