Perhaps your game is buggy BUT sometimes the kings conveniently forget their promises and go back to happily slagging each other. Its a funny old world...

Mmmm. ALL the treasures. I'm *impressed* there's about 100 or so.

Ah no. That's just one of the things that you can find on your tula and it boils over like a pot. Eventually you WILL kill them off or they die out. But the chance is slim, no matter what you use to try and exerminate them. Eventually, EVENTUALLY, they go away.....
Eventually. Sigh. Highly annoying tho!

Beats the heck out of me. I think you'd be weaking the tuskriders. But you know, I don't (in the context of a small, struggling clan) care.... I just want the drought to end! Or to get those pesky dragonnewts to stop being weird at me! Or whatever is threatening our clan this week...
Re lesbian Vingans: Whatever.

And if you continue playing the Vingan game with KODP, you WILL get your answer. Dave has given it earlier but I'm loath to give spoilers here... Its just not kosher.
