They can't do anything in the region but travel. Once out, they can't get back in.

Then they'll remain in the region for a while, not being able to do anything.

Forever, actually. My character was accidentally stuck in the blight after he engaged in group of monsters in there, and since he was old, he didn't have the hours to leave the region after the battle. So he got stuck, and had to be manually removed from the region.
What is Freedom? - ye can tell; That which slavery is, too well; For its very name has grown; To an echo of your own

T'is to work and have such pay; As just keeps life from day to day; In your limbs, as in a cell; For the tyrants' use to dwell

This has got to be one of the funniest/most depressing things I've ever read on the forum. I'm just imagining this doddering old man politely asking the monsters to let him leave and they're like No, you have to stay grampa. Then he gets confused and takes a nap.

In other news, still hatin' them giant archer hordes. *Invests in Cavalry from hereon out.*

SF are great, had a lot of success with Vorian Elite (Basically Terminators who've come from the future to kill Daimon Connor) but they're sooo slooow. Outside of defending walls they're just getting blown up on the stroll towards the enemy. I shed a little tear every time I lose a 300 gold investment in one round of combat.

Actually in hand to hand we kick the Daimons' collective ass (We meaning all of us humies). They're doing about ~100 hits per battle turn while each of our units is doing anywhere from 250 to 900. Once they're engaged in melee they can't single out units and annihilate them with their lascannons, so even one guy getting there before the rest do is effectively shutting down a BFG while everyone else closes in. Maybe they get popped by the superior numbers once in melee, assuming nobody else is running cav. I'm not sure if they still only attack with a fraction once a unit of 500 is engaged with a single unit of, say, 30. But then you get in there with four or five nobles leading cav and it just becomes a slaughter until they break through and hit the second group. Wedge wedge wedge. DON'T put cavalry in the rear, that's terrible and makes me sad. There's no strategy for fighting these huge groups, just hit them as hard and as soon as possible and they'll break.

Are you kidding me?

We are so tough, we can take on BOTH Riombara and the daimons at the same time!

Power in pride, my friend.
