(DU) The Lord of the Forest believes his investment on corn that pops is about to make him bank.

SA-DU I think we will try some of your popped corn. It seems the NO and his allies are biting off more than they can properly digest by attacking the NE who likely has almost as much production ooutside the northern mists as inside it. Attacking a well prepared LI who has more powerful wizards and leaders. Accusing the PI and making threats. Thinking they have already conquers Alamaze and can coerce the Lord of the Forrest to join them in an alliance inevitably against others who have been friendly to the DU and worked with the. This couldd be a wonderful show, especially when everything turns out to not be like the Nomads have far seen.

Rellgar

(NO) Haha. Methinks the SA twists words. No one has threatened anyone, and you were just returned your agent. I'd be a fool if I didn't prepare for a RA assault- I am next door and he refused my NAP. Again, I'm mostly focused on the NE but also watching closely. I have to ask the PI if he killed an agent but I don't see any threats from my side. If the RA is amenable to another few turns NAP I'm happy to return the GN Baron. He already talked anyways.

GN
Gnome diplomats know that they are Frontline soldiers and as such they understand the risk if they are captured.

The Gnome King scratches his bald, misshapen head and muses aloud, "I must say that the Nomad has an interesting diplomatic style. He is nervous about an invasion from his neighbor the Ranger however he deliberately antagonizes literally everyone else around him. All while he continues to fight the Necromancer Lord.

Will this tactic pay off for him in a favorable way? Only time will tell"

SA-DU ...Attacking a well prepared LI who has more powerful wizards and leaders...

LI here. I really was expecting a greater challenge from the DE-WA in my region. Really folks, don't attack the Lizard Men in the swamps unless you want to take some major damage.

So far, I killed the WA's 2 brigade group with p7,3,3 and the DE's 12 brigade army group with a marshal, p5,3,3. That's a total destruction of their groups btw with all of their leaders, wizards, troops dead. I didn't lose any leaders or wizards and acquired the WA's Champion Stallions and the DE's Morning Star of Torag, Red Elk Mount, and Valyrian Steel as spoils of war.

Come on guys, do a better job defending yourselves. This turn, I have a major battle with the WA and its outcome will determine if the WA or I survive or not. I'm expecting heavy losses on both sides but I have the advantage in having all four of my groups there against his two. If he screws up his orders/spells, the WA is toast...

SA-NO you want to escalate opposition? A simple yes or no will do.

SA-LI I must say you gave them a beat down far worsts than our reports had revieled. 

NO> maybe you should go help your allies in the swamp and make terms with the NE?

(PI)  This seance came to mind in the LI/WA+DE scuffle.

(NO) I've had an NAP with the LI and I honor that. The NE has been offered a chance for terms and all he does is prattle on with missives about what I have. I'm glad his group is across from mine so I can attempt to destroy it. If he has no military or wizards then who cares what he has outside the Mists.

That is good advice for the necromancer. If he does everything he can to preserve his wizards then he can rebuild more easily to keep the war going.

(NO) Sure is. I noticed you subtly (maybe not so subtly) giving advice as well- reminding of my flank tactic and whatnot.

Did you then? Was this after you went back on your agreement to give me my Baron back after you got status points for keeping him on turn 18?
