I think it is intended. Tepmona who produces a large part of Melheds food was barely selfsufficient when shadowed. It produced gold as normal, but you couldn't hold court so it was hard to maintain the place...

Yeah, that's because of low production.

These gold and food values have actually changed on the region details page which would make them permanent.

very odd, those numbers do not change because of production (i assume you are talking about the region details page)

even stranger... the numbers only changed in the last few days.... the last time i looked at Rueffilo (which was like 2  days ago), the numbers were higher than that of Avengmil... not now... what has changed?

Rueffilo has been unblighted since we whacked a few daimons commanders. it's still under netherworld control... is that why?

Rueffilo was 900? (since avengmil is 800), now 100.
i think food hasn't really changed.. much

Looks like all the regions the Netherworld holds got their gold reduced. Eykfar is 10% of what it was before. It was 600 something a few days ago, I remember posting about it on the forum. Now its 60.

Reeds: 160 gold
Zuhle: 27 gold
Eg Tutnu: 28 gold

Uh...lets hope this is a bug - or preparation to change the netherworld regions to rogue regions. If the freed regions are reduced in gold by 80-90% then freeing them was rather pointless (from a heartless noble 'peasants are my cattle' point of view).

Sassan will consider these reports as coming from incompetent ex-netherworld obeying scribes trying to hide the fact that they are heavily embezzling taxes now that their masters are looking less than all-powerfull.

It's probably a bug. The values have not been intentionally changed.

This is one of the things that will have to wait until I am back next week.


Almost all in-game events have now been posted. I'll do the rest and then leave you to... celebrate the ashes of your world or something. :-)

Spoilers below - go in-game first and read the roleplay events posted there.



This is the end of the 5th Invasion.

Here is what the in-game mechanics should be post-invasion. Anything that is different from what I post below is a bug and will be fixed after I return. Also, if one of the great people who made the Dwilight map by copy & paste wants to make the new coastline, that would be great. I have an image file without the quickly-drawn in coast it uses right now that I can send you.


All lands that were covered in Blight have sunken into the ocean, taking everything and everyone with them. They will never be recovered, they have actually been deleted from the database.
Where you see faint cities in the ocean on the map that is what you actually see from the coast there - these cities seem to have been left behind, they are well under the ocean surface, too deep for divers in the time period BM is set in, but when the water is clear you can barely make them out.
Regions covered by dark clouds are back to normal. They seem to have left no permanent effect.
Some regions that used to be inland or at a river are now on the coast. For simplicity, their economy has not been changed, so you won't find "fishing" listed for any of them. That's because we are working on another, final and much better economy re-balance.
The lake at the south islands, between Enweilios and Rines is now part of the ocean.
The remaining Daimon troops have been left behind. They are now stranded on your world with no leadership. They will survive as long as they can feed on human flesh, which they will do - so: good hunting.

You may have to force-reload some pages (especially maps) to see the changes, due to your browser caching the old image files.

I havent read your post yet, except for the first red thingy, and well... Fingolfin in Thalmarkin has not received any event-RP yet. According to Iscee Plaraveen's report IG it seems like OG received it though.
Everything in my own immediate experience supports my deep belief that I am the absolute center of the universe, the realest, most vivid and important person in existence.

Aww no Nuzanki ;_;
When Thalmarkans walked through the Sint land, castles went up for sale.

Thank you, Tom, for the awesome Invasion. It was great fun and I, and I'm sure many others, have really enjoyed it! Thanks for all the hard work and time you put in it :)

So it seems we have one back Southern Funnel towards the Northern Lands. This could be interesting.

I send the RP from the Southern Portal Guardian to the Rulers so I'm assuming everyone will receive it soon.

Thanks from me as well - the fifth invasion ranks as one of the best experiences of a many-year-long BM experience. Note that I had many of the most enjoyable gaming-moments due to BM...and that BM is the one game that has drawn me back again and again, far more than any comercial title.

So for this invasion, for this game, for your time, for your awesome commitment - my heartfelt thanks!

That's good to know. Enjoy the weekend.

Also, posted a reminder on the bugtracker ;)

They were posted near where the portal daimons where. I'll have Ivagil send you a copy.
EC: Ilias, Taelmoth (Sirion)
Beluaterra: Ivagil (Melhed), Thoron (Adventurer, Fronen)
Atamara: Haniel (Adventurer, Coria)
