This being my first time seeing Anbennar, can someone give me a precis on Gawed? They've been gettin' huge all game and I don't know anything about them. Are they typically a contender for world domination or is this a really good game for them?

Also, love that we very quickly turned into Tolerance Dorf.

I have to say, being a piratical narco-state of demon-blooded hooligans does make the gameplay mesh with the narrative much more than being a bunch of liberal crusaders did in the Dwarven playthrough. We were an expansionistic imperial state, at the very least since we started conquering large chunks of the surface, and I felt it clashed with the multicultural and democratic society that the updates described.* Here, of course we're going to conquer poo poo and take thousands of slaves. That's what those other civs are there for!

Your fiction interludes have also been particularly enjoyable in this playthrough as well, Sybot. Two thumbs and a pseudopenis up.

* e: of course, that's also true of real life democratic empires.

Looking forward to taking the islands that we once left behind.

Seems like we're making a lot less money this time around, is that the case or am I just misremembering?

Yeah, I meant compared to the Dwarves. Do we not have as many things to spend money on as pirates?

We seem like we're in extremely good shape. What are our expansion plans at this point?

Looking forward to us rounding the Dameshead and looting the poo poo out of the empire.

Sad that Mercenary didn't win, it'd be interesting from an RP perspective and be something I basically never see taken in EUIV LPs

When have Goons ever decided to try and smother Revolution? I, for one, look forward to a Great Society, where freedom from Want of More Drugs has been achieved.

Man, I think if the Obsidian Dwarves ever figure out how to build good boats they're gonna run the world for a long while. As is, Mykx will certainly hang onto its empire for a while until the decadence sets in. I'm guessing there aren't any actual events for finding the pit of hell implemented yet.

Man, we're very into the ethnic cleansing of the Oni population in the territory we ostensibly conquered for the purpose of looking for Balris, huh?

Oh, definitely. I appreciate the responses giving some more background about the Oni.

I wonder what Cannor looks like right now. Clearly Lorent is doing its usual thing.

Doesn't quite fit with the Goldscale narrative of being a less expansionist power, though. At least our dictator actually did the Cincinnatius thing.

I don't think we've done a high magic playthrough, we started with the Dwarves and tons of artificing, went Pirate, and are now ~19th century Whigs. If Sybot does another run (and I hope they do, I really have enjoyed these) Imma vote for whatever makes us a mageocracy.

Also, man, I really dunno about some of these spirits. They're pretty demanding and don't seem to understand one person one vote (where person is any ilk of sophont).

Neat, the Bhuvari Revolution's politics are like the Demarchists from Alistair Reynold's Revelation Space.

I'm hoping the Vamps can pull it out, it seems like a very interesting play style. Blood Magic Halflings currently in the lead, tho.
