On a side note, we are still in the summoning phase, so I believe Khorne can go ahead and make his next placement if he likes. Basically, this is whats gonna take us the longest since we have to rotate summoning units/cards, so if your on and your up, we don't always have to wait for map update.
Wonderful, I get to share borders with my bloody mouthed brethren. Though, admittedly, the Empire is solid starting point for Khorne considering how central it is, allowing him to spread his bloodletters to conquer who he pleases.
Still, I am committed in Kislev, so it is there my cult shall grow. One more Cultist to Kislev.

Oh dear, blood to the left, blood to the right and nary a drop of magecraft between. Whatever to do? Cultist to Bretonnia
4/6pp left
Round 1 A new hero arises in the Empire after his family is killed by marauding orcs.
Khorne whips residents of Estalia into a Blood Frenzy (2 battle dice) Nurgle trains a cultist in Kislev Tzeentch locks Bretonnia in a Temporal Stasis (+2 cost for others) Slaanesh whispers Insidious Lies to the noble in Tilea (+2 domination)
Khorne finds time to send a cultist into the Empire Nurgle commits another cultist into Kislev Tzeentch brings a cultist into Bretonnia Slaanesh rewards the Tilean aristocracy with a cultist.
The aristocracy in Tilea are rewarded for their reaction to Slaanesh's whispers. Seductresses are seen in their company, and soon thereafter neither noble nor seductress are seen much at all in public.
Everyone's playing nice so far, heh. Who's going to be the first to provoke the ire of another god?
EDIT: figures that while I'm writing this Khorne sends his killers into Kislev, hehe.
I'm finding it useful to track actions not by round and then player, but by player and then round. Helps me keep everyone's motivations clear. Looks like this;
Khorne; 6/7
1) Blood Frenzy in Estalia (2 extra dice)
2) cultist to The Empire
Nurgle; 4/6
1) cultist to Kislev (noble, pop)
2) cultist to Kislev (noble, pop) DIAL
Tzeentch; 4/6
1) Temporal Stasis in Bretonnia (Magic, cost +2)
2) cultist to Bretonnia (one more to dial)
Slaanesh; 4/6
1) Insideous Lies in Tilea (domination +3)
2) cultist to Tilea
I also appreciate the regular map updates, though I won't necessarily be waiting for an update to take my turn. It just happened that way by coincidence just now
Note: Nurgle doesn't get a dial tick at the moment. He would need both those cultists to survive through the corruption phase. As things stand now, that's only a 25% chance, vs. Khorne's two battle dice.
That definitely makes sense as a way to show what's happening, though, and a good summary.
Yeah, I mostly just put the "DIAL" there to remind myself that, pending survival, Nurgle's gonna get a click out of that play.
Notwithstanding that it's good for any player to get dial clicks, it could be argued that it's "better" to let Nurgle get dial advancement as opposed to Khorne?

Nurgle is the least likely to win as a result of the dial click, so stopping his dials is lower priority, but watch his VPs. Also, his warriors make good targets for Khorne if they are in play.
The two to watch most for dials are Slaanesh and Tzeentch, with Slaanesh being the most dangerous. As their dials move, they get to place tokens that make further clicks easier to obtain.
No, I assure you my minions still bleed red, but the forecast for the day is calling for a rain of pus, so you may not want to look up with your mouth open.
Rain of Pus in Kislev- All units gain +1 to defense

Your use of the .jpeg format for maps disappoints me. The minimalistic color scheme is totally built for making nice, crisp .gif images! You'll find that the file sizes are much smaller as well.

Note taken, and I'll switch over. Thanks!
edit: Huh, about 1/4th the size. Yeah, that's much better.
Indexed .png would also work quite well. Might even be smaller...
Gets it down another 25% (of the gif size), but I got burned a little bit with PNG files when I first started using them; not all the browsers supported them at the time. Do they all have full PNG support built in these days?

Even IE, last I checked. Or at least, up-to-date IE. Nobody else ever had a problem with png that I recall - mng/m-png is the deal-breaker for most now.

I think indexed .png should be supported by the major browsers by now (except apparently IE only has partial support), but considering that the .gif images are already reasonably sized and you have the assurance that that they'll work, might as well stick with that file format.

Iron Curtain charging complete! Warp Shield - 0 - When you play this card, choose one of your figures in this region. That figure cannot be killed in battle this round. - on the one acolyte in Bretonnia.
My Acolyte has served me well, a deserved reward I think.
Remember, my bloodthirsty brother, that you must kill enemies in different territories if you wish to get multiple turn dial token. At this rate, it would be cheap to hop scoth off a cultist in the border princes to destroy Slaanesh's cultists in Tilea than it would be to invade Tzeenthc's hold on Bretonia.

Do not listen to Nurgle's pitiful deflections. Even now he makes preparations to withstand your onslaught in Kislev. Who would you rather spare from your blade? His mewling crawling lepers or my raven-haired temptresses? I can guarantee you that their company is vastly preferable, at the least.
Neither harlots nor the infirm are suitable company for the proud warriors of Khorne! Thank the vastness of the continent that separates us, young one. In any case you may have more to fear from Tzeentch who won't be happy with his acolytes becoming...distracted...by his neighbors.
For all your efforts in Kislev, my dear sibling, you have failed to note the plague aura that has crept upon your holdings in the Empire. Tell me, oh god of slaughter, what might this bode for your plans?
Plague Aura (0) in the Empire- Each Nurgle corruption token in this region adds to Nurgle's domination value
Satisfied with the carnal escapades running rampant in Tilea, Slaanesh turns his thoughts toward other pastures.
"The feckless thugs who lay claim to the borderlands are in need of some entertainment, I should think. Fret not, my brother Tzeentch. I care not for your beloved warpstones."
