Our army commander is too lazy to do anything. Sitting around, drinking beer, getting fat. Might be time to find a replacement.

As always and with most of you. Times are essential to save the deaths of inaccurate bureaucracy. I do wonder if that reflects the situation in RL....

Is the poor performance of bureaucracy creating a media industry?

- What are the news from this battle against the Merfolk?
- A success Sir, they were surprised and didn't manage to hit any of our people!
- Good! And what about the loot?
- Well, as instructed, our people took all that could be of interest...
- Perfect! But where is Baug, who was leading them?
- He died, Sir!
- But you just told me the Merfolk didn't kill any of our people!
- I confirm Sir... but after the battle, the turtles were not able to carry both the loot and the people. Thus, Baug and two thirds of his soldiers jumped into the sea so that nothing would be lost!
- ...
- And they even did not forget to give their weapons and armours to those that would came back!
- We lost many well trained soldiers that we will probably regret before long! And what did they bring back instead? Camels! Horses! And even a few stones! I never imagined Baug could be so stupid!

Fleet update: the sailors, the ones that didn’t go swimming with the sharks have now decided they aren’t sailors but ship builders.

Some are already renaming towns!
A step towards victory... or towards anihilation?
