What was it like?
Quick summary: I declared war on another player, forced his allies to betray him, then tricked him to turn his nation into a thrall state and disarm his army , then declared war again.
Sounds like russia annexing georgia

~11.25 million years into the Atroxian~
Gnathosian Stage
Event - 12 (No Event)
Global Climate: The climate of the single landmass, Uteeno, is generally hot (globally 25c) and dry; there are few land plants to soak up the greenhouse gases (CO2 is at 0.1%), and most of the supercontinent is too far from the Uteenessa superocean to receive rain. As a result, there are high sea levels and no glaciers.

Kapnosta limus (EN)
DEEP SOUTHERN UTEENESSA OCEAN
At the moment, you are small enough to be swept up in currents with no power to swim your own direction, except you can wriggle through viscous water. One of these currents carries you away, but you canât find any food in it. Eventually, the current leads you to water that is slightly warmer, possibly closer to hydrothermal vents, arriving hungry. You canât tell exactly, because it is pitch black and your only sense is sight. (3 + 1)

Species Details
Kapnosta limus
(Skeleton = 5)
(Smell = 1)
(Scales = 6)
Description: These common, tubular animals are the first to evolve a layer of scales over their bodies, which provide more protection than bare skin. The downside though is that to prevent the sparse light glinting off their scales and giving away their position to predators, a fine slime is secreted over the scales to dull them. The problem is that this slime produces a strong smell, which spreads for tens of metres. Fortunately, at this time no predators have any olfactory organs. Kapnosta limus are the most common animal of the deep ocean, but are most successful around hydrothermal vents; the scales means that they can withstand more heat than their competitors. The vents produce a lot of valuable chemicals which microbes thrive off, and Kapnosta limus in turn thrive off these. Another adaptation that gives them an advantage is the evolution of a cartilage skeleton, which supports the heavier body and allows them to swim, albeit slowly and just above the ocean floor. The skeleton provides a place for muscle attachment, and it moves itâs body from side to side to swim. Itâs name means slimy smoker, due to its fondness of hydrothermal vents.

Thanostoma aquaprinceps (LC)
MANAURAI SEA
Satisfied with your existential existence, you take a breather to ponder the convenient creation before you and the splendour of materialistic beauty of the scenic view. You also turn your gaze of the majestic wonder of the rotting corpse that sustained you, the picturesque, midnight-black mold gracefully carpeting its way over the purpose of your being incarnate. Then you remember what you are, and that none of this happened at all because you are not capable of it, and that you probably should have been eating. (5 + 1)

(Blue Pigmentation = 3)
(Pinhole eyes = 6)
(Jaw = 5)
Description: The outwards-jutting tusks of their ancestors have morphed into long, dangerous and venomous canines which are a deadly contribution to the new jaw. Two large pinhole eyes, that the animal is able to swivel slightly for increased range of sight, on the side of the head scan the ocean for prey. Few animals can withstand an attack from this mouth. All of this makes this species the top predator of its time, as well as also being able to occupy shallow water thanks to its blue pigment. It is only restricted by its lack of buoyancy.

Aerochelus gulpin (CR-)
EQUATORIAL UTEENESSA OCEAN
Distressed by the larger filter-feeders, you try to leave the area and find somewhere else to feed. However, Achmachelus etalas are everywhere these days and you find yourself surrounded by larger individuals. As you attempt to swim past, you cannot help but go near when and they, interpreting this as an encroachment on their feeding territories, nudge you back. The result is that you do not leave or feed but get battered around. (3)

Aerochelus gulpin
(Swim Bladder = 6)
(Notochord = 2)
Aerochelus gulpin is unusual amongst contemporary sea creature in that it gulps in air from above the surface of the water. It is not using this to breathe in oxygen as it might first appear, although it could do in a pinch, but instead it is taking in air of a certain pressure into its swim bladder. This allows fast, safe movement between depths.
Features: To allow the air breathed in to enter the swim bladder, a small tube now connects the sac-like organ and the gut. The axochord of this species is also slightly stiffer than its cousins, which hinders movement somewhat.

Thanostoma aquaprinceps (LC)
SOUTH-WESTERN UTEENESSA OCEAN, DEEP OCEAN
You sense plenty of potential prey around these hydrothermal vent fields, and try to decide which to go for. Eventually, you settle on a Kapnosta limus resting in the sand. It does not notice your approach until it is too late, and you bite down on it and kill it without having to work too hard. You have a nice meal, and then assess the situation again. There are stacks of small, quite immobile life forms where the water seems hottest, and other small creatures drifting around. The larger creatures, around your size, appear above or around the outside of the vents field. (5)

Asteridermus gibbosi (EN)
SOUTH-WESTERN UTEENESSA OCEAN, DEEP OCEAN
After your rest, you head out of the crack to go and hunt. You cannot tell the difference between night and day down here, as it is constantly dark and your flashing lights frighten off a few animals before you find food; half a carcass, resting on the floor. You polish that off. You have now become an adult and are ready to reproduce. (4)

Asteridermus gibbosi
(Fat = 5)
(Black Pigmentation = 2)
(Olfactory System = 1)
Description: Unlike its ancestor, this species has a moderate, normal amount of fat surrounding its body, which means it is able to withstand the temperatures of the deep ocean. It now completely resides here. In addition, a collection of fat in the shape of a hump on the back stores extra resources. This is especially useful in the deep where food can be very scarce. They are also able to find each other well in the dark because of a covering of bioluminescent spots; they do not appear to be able to control these with their nervous systems, as the spots keep flashing randomly in the dark. However, this means both prey and predators with eyes know where they are.

Glistroskulus louixi
(Notochord = 6)
(Improve Eyes = 4)
(Protection Against The Cold = 6)
Description: The most widespread animal on the planet also happens to be one of the smallest and simplest, at only 2cm in length. Glistroskulus louixi is the only animal which can withstand the freezing water of the poles; it has special antifreeze proteins in its circulatory system which inhibit the freezing of its body fluids. Although there are no shallow seas in polar regions at this time, the simplicity of this species allowed it to return to the deep. It therefore occupies the deep ocean in polar regions, with no competition. It has also replaced Squickia visionii in shallow seas in warmer climes, but here it is not as successful. Furthermore, this species has evolved a cartilaginous notochord, which adds stronger muscle attachment and therefore movement. Lastly, a transparent layer of skin has evolved over the forward-facing pinhole eyes, protecting them and improving the clarity of vision.

(Digestive Acid = 3)
(Teeth = 5)
(Jaw = 1)
Description: This species can easily be told apart from, itâs descendants by a much wider head, although it still has a small body. This head houses a jaw of razor-sharp, slicing teeth that are perfect for cutting into flesh. This flesh can be digested by the new stomach acids. But itâs jaws are proportionally very large and the jaw muscles weak; this makes both movement more tiresome, as well as the use of the jaws more difficult. Luckily, in the deep, itâs slow moving doesnât hinder it too much as its prey struggle to detect its approach, but energy can be a problem.

Fosdelus gelida (VU)
DEEP NORTHERN POLAR OCEAN
You hatch out and immediately the water is freezing. However, your birthplace seems to be where the currents hit a seamount and deflects upwards. This deposits plenty of food at your doorstep. You are so small, at the moment, that the water becomes viscous enough to crawl through. If you went closer to the current, it could even take you upwards. (5)

Fosdelus gelida
Description: This is a specialist in hunting small, soft animals, spearing them with its extremely sharp beak. It is slow and lacks stamina, and uses the darkness of the deep, polar sea to its advantage; glittery scales draw in prey, the dark hiding itâs body. Then a few short bursts with its hydrostatic flipper and it catches itâs prey. However, it is a fairly uncommon animal.
