Just for completeness, I sent thieves, saboteurs and assassins. Also just generic messages.

I've sent scouts, spies, messengers, cotters and skinners at the tentacle and received the normal generic message everyone gets. I've also attacked, raided and occupied the tentacle with my armies, normal generic message.

as there are 4 sets of 5 tentacles, we might perhaps expect 4 sq. occupied by tentacles?

(btw, the latest datafile_worldmap.txt doesn't have a specific code, e.g.: 2093589|-458|-46|5|4|5|6|5|51|3|17 )

I have sent mostly defensive troops.  But with an encampment next to the city, I wonder if this will be at all like a siege -- and whether the city will have to sally forth to defeat the "encampment."  Only speculation on my part, of course.  If so, we may have the wrong kind of troops in the cities.

Have people tried scouting the tentacles?

The tentacles will produce the troops from the local population - attack likely soon - my view.

With this new set of tentacles coming up next to players towns I would assume that the attack will arrive very shortly. Referring to a previous message from the fortune teller (I think it was her but can't actually find the mail again on these forums....) that said there would be a "few scant hours" of notice. Maybe these appearing are such warnings and therefore we should be reinforcing the towns instead of trying to occupy those squares?

Just my theory on the significance of the tentacle squares.

Armies are headed to occupy all of the remaining open squares around the one at Ivory Hall

Nesse,

Also, if you're calling for forces to occupy other squares, make sure that everyone is NAP'd who will be on the same square, otherwise, it could be a mess.

I would also suggest anyone with the corrupted squares to send different units at the fortunetellers now to see if there is a different message.

Since my troops are so far from home at Ivory Hall, I will leave them there for the 4-7 days remaining in the occupy.
