Looted our own ship and took a town today. Casualties within acceptable limits.

The Black Horde, Day 1
Stonethrow, Andorad, Charitum... These are the ridiculous names that the hummies gave to these useless fishing settlements on the shore.
Fortunately, the Horde is here to restore proper power over these lands! Because I am Skeletor, "I am more than man! More than life! I... am... a... GOD! Now. You... will... KNEEL! KNEEL!" [cof-cof]

Darkelves, Day 4
It appears that the frostlings live next to a cursed land. As we looked down on the valley below we spied cities of the undead, including one with a wizard's tower. It is actually a good thing we were shipwrecked on their shores, for I am sure that under their own leadership the icemen would never have been able to counter such a threat. But my own forces, bolstered by the services of a local mercenary who calls himself "Lord the Ron" (obviously drunk), should be more than sufficient to put down this local tyrant wizard and claim their tower for my own conjurings. There is treasure and power in these lands, and I shall tarry a while before sailing for home, and gain such power and wealth as to replace my losses in the storm.

Managing the production resources and income structures.
Desert awaits us to the west, while swamps and burial grounds can be seen across the river, to the south. Both directions we be taken sooner or later, but for now, we have tp settle with only one. Circumstancial reasons will probably determine which one...

The Black Horde, Day 5
Found some pesky elves in our way. Ordered my army to crush them and wait for reinforcements on site.

Bit of a dilemma:
My youngest son tossed my laptop on the ground and now the screen is broken.
Two options:
1. Wait till its fixed and then play my turn. This might take awhile as I'll be cashing in my warranty, probably a week or two.
2. Play on my old laptop and generate a restart. This wouldn't be so much of an issue if I didn't have two battles planned for this next turn, though in all honesty, both are small stacks of level 1s against my strongest units, so victory is basically a certainty.
I'll go with your preferences, either wait and delay the game or generate a restart now and a restart later when I switch back to my good laptop.
James.

Looks like my warranty won't pay for the repairs so I might just be buying a new laptop instead. In any case, its gonna be an indefinite delay and I don't want this game to get hung up, so I generated a restart. Sorry.
Darkelves, Day 6
Today we felt confident enough to split our party and attack two different targets. It was helpful that they were only level 1s and that there was only 1 ranged unit between the two, so the battles were not too bloody for us. Tomorrow we are in range of a healing site, which we need to visit before we fight any more.

Darkelves Day 7
Today I visited a healing site. Noticing a magic vault on the adjacent hex, I engaged it and found that I was healed a second time simply from walking away from the site after the battle. This was a nice bonus as it saved me move points that I would use walking back one hex and then forward again. Because of this I was able to reach a ruin where I gained gold and a useful item.
In laptop news, I've actually ordered a part and plan on fixing it myself. This should prove to be less than a third the cost of repairs or buying a new one.

So the Archons can see us, can they? We can't see them, which means they are spying on us, an act of aggression. Hopefully they will properly introduce themselves so as to ease tensions between us.
In other news we added several new units courtesy of our burgeoning press gang.

A new income structure is added to our extracting facilities portfolio.

According to the informations I have, Entangle and Seduce both check vs RES (which the Pixie has a lot), so that kind of statistics wouldn't make much sense. Can't recall trying to seduce a Pixie Warrior lately, though.
I have a similar background history with Doom Bats: they are easy to entangle (vs RES) and to entrap (vs DEF, according to my informations) but very hard to enslave (vs DEF, idem).

Darkelves Day 10
Our tenth day in these lands saw us reunited with another settlement of our fellow drow. They welcome me as their rightful ruler, and with their help I shall establish a colony of my power before turning my thoughts to the building of ships to return home.

Two Magic Catalysts, could it be possible?... That would be a huge boost! Let's give it a try and go for something really ambitious.

Spotted a cat wandering near our borders. Flew right past and snatched an outpost. Probably going to tick off the neighbours...

The Catalyst provided a 3 turns advantage to our research. Still plenty to go.
