Their CS outside of battles is inflated. The CS reported during the battle report is the actual value.

*Massively* inflated. Moreso than any other unit type we've seen, more than double the actual CS value.

I think Overlord was running around with a - supposedly - 100k+ CS unit during his destruction campaign of enweil.

They start very strong, but with time (perhaps equipment damage or something) they drop drastically.

Example: the Daimon force that sacked Unger reported as 91k CS in scout reports.  In battle, it was more like 25k.  It definitely makes advanced planning difficult, but the lesson is clear: don't come to a fight unless you have overwhelming force.

When visiting a smithy, we have the option of making our unit CS appear higher and lower in scout reports. Overlord probably have access to similar tricks.

31k actually. You're making it sound as if we should've wiped the floor with them... ;)

The South already got beaten.

Well, Enweil and Fheuv'n, at least. Enweil might have fallen more, but that's because Fheuv'n didn't have much to begin with.

But we are continuously losing land and getting our forces slaughtered every time we finally recuperate from the last assaults...

Don't worry, bud. The Heroes of the North will take care of Overlord. Still pretty sure we've missed the bus on getting rid of the blight though so you guys'll still have your sub-continent Lord of Flies thing going on down there, but I wouldn't be surprised if you preferred it that way.

So that didn't go well... the militia clearly did not feel like getting out of bed this morning so it was 26k daimons vs 12k us. (well, some of them did but they slept through the entire battle)

Oh and yes, in case you're wondering, killing 300 of them (they were with less than I thought in the beginning so it wasn't really half that we killed :P) equals only a loss of 5,000 CS.

Bye Bye BT.

Takeover in Reeds   (8 minutes ago)
message to all nobles of Nothoi
Darkest Hour of the West of Netherworld has initiated a takeover of your region Reeds.
Troops of Netherworld will try to remove this region from your realm and add it to their own through their actions throughout the next days. Troops of your realm can hinder and interrupt the takeover by engaging the enemy.

Yep we are in deep trouble

That's the bad part on being the ruler and wounded.

I see my messages counter increasing, and just know it they're from other rulers sharing things

No TO in Thal yet.

We're keeping a tally of killed and wounded daimons per day. :)
Not one of our own fallen forces as one of our nobles pointed out though... :P

Today: 85 dead, 100 wounded. Roughly of course.

At the same time, the Duke of Vore is throwing parties with all the gold and food we've sent him for safekeeping... :P
