Fifth Invasion

[Geronus]

Yeah, that was the single most damaging sentence spoken during this invasion. I was wondering why nobody had yet caught on to the fact that Overlord and the Horrors only ever attacked capitals and afterwards completely ignored those realms.

*Raises eyebrow*

The extent of the damage kind of depends on what he can do with this wisdom, doesn't it? The daimon forces have been ground down quite a bit. In the North they're not in a position to do much. In the South I'm reasonably confident that Riombara is strong enough to hold off Midnight of the South at this point. Unless Overlord is about to whip out a whole new batch of fresh forces, I think we've already survived the worst he can throw at us.

Famous last words.

According to what Overlord has said, the Horrors are indeed his elite force and they have been beaten (though not destroyed) in the North. It depends on whether he can recruit much more of them. He has already recruited more but not very much so we're going to have to wait and see.
It also depends on what happens when/if we kill a midnight... do they come back with a fresh horde? And when and with what force will Overlord reappear?

I'm really not so sure that we've won but... I am kinda glad this takes the immediate target off of Unger a little. :P

[Geronus]

Nothing meta-gamy about it. Overlord operated under the assumption that the capitals were not just symbolic, but actual foci of a realm, their hearts and brains, and so taking them out would destroy a realm. Maybe not make it vanish immediately, just like a body whose heart you just stabbed takes a while to rot away, but definitely finish them off for good.

To me it sounded like Overlord heard what he wanted to hear out of what Lucius said. I said "so long as there is one stronghold left, one bastion of humanity in this land, there will be those who fight on." From that Overlord immediately jumped to "Aha, so you're saying you can move your capital around?". I don't really see it. What I meant was, 'even with just two capitals, we'll still resist you'. And we would. If Fronen lost its last city, I'd be on my way to Thalmarkin in two shakes and a jiffy.

The party at Unger is currently BYOSF, but there's an open bar at least, and our DJ kicks ass.

YESSSSSS  :D :D

I don't really like this line of thought, but whatever, it's end-game anyways.

I did catch on, which is why my character has barely said anything in the rulers group infront of Overlord. Perhaps the other rulers should refrain from taunting and goating Overlord, all I have seen is that it makes matters worse for the human realms. At the end of the day words are meaningless, it is the results on the battlefield and who is left standing at the end that matters.

So much waiting and nothing hapening.

[Lorgan]

I don't really mind a little breathing time...

[Madigan]

I don't really mind a little breathing time...

Likewise. If only everyone wasn't so eager to march directly in the jaws of death and overwhelming odds.

[Marlboro]

Well, !@#$. XD

I don't play on Beluaterra so what happened?

[Marlboro]

You play on Dwilight? Imagine all of the Zuma unit leaders, multiply their CS by 2 or 3.

Sitting right outside Unger.

vvv We'll find a way, when all hope is gone!

[Lorgan]

You mean all hope is gone for the daimons? ;)
