Nah, it's playable, we'll defend the queen from rumors (doesn't she also refresh turns for rumor victims?), buy a few Sithian stacks, assemble a Knight doomstack, and we'll win. We could also send Axel to ally with Silverdane, then by sound logic the recruitment should unlock.
I'm not saying it's unplayable — it's almost always playable even in the most hopeless situation. It's just that this kind of thing doesn't motivate you to dig into the mechanics when you'll spend half a day just wrapping your head around it and watching how bots and other players moved for reference, then another two days thinking over your move, pestering yourself, the GM, and the thread with questions, and flipping through two hundred gray pages of questions from other guys, only to then eat a turn skip, a kill by that Revenland bastard, your finances, army, everything you want getting cut, losing three sheds on the border, allies, the nearest town blowing up, and so on and so forth.
You've got Alex to handle it. Don't freak out. It might even be wiser for you and Nebko to leave it to him, since he takes surprises more cool-headedly.
Surprises as such don't bother me — what bothers me is when utter nonsense happens that's impossible to keep track of, and if it's also accompanied by mockery, the pleasantness factor drops to zero.
And I'd actually like to figure it out myself — it's part of the current game, after all, and you can't leave everything to Alex. He's active now, but in three days he'll go storm a shed and vanish for three weeks, and then what. But we have what we have at the moment.
I actually already had a plan for the first turn, but that was before Silverdane ulted + before I figured out the turn refresh mechanics. But now at least I don't have to think about templates.
And where's our ult? Ah, right, we didn't get one — we only have stock abilities, no super-geniuses who do everything across the whole map at the snap of a finger, no risen ghouls, no super-epics, nothing.
