If the Zuma don't make finally a movement it'll be probably thanks to the rivers of ink that are likely running as hell from Aurvandil. It won't be bad for Aurvandil of course, we'll have some kind of truce, maybe even time for D'Hara and Luria Nova to retake the hostilities, and they'll come back to conclude the "Madina Contingency" on the Véinsormoot, with more nobles against a weakened and divided Federation.

I think we won't see any "Ave Auziwandilaz, Avance Victorieuse" on the Zuma.

Bummer. I'd really like to see Aurvandil try to take on the Zuma.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Gustav Kuriga also has experience with the Zuma, and will be paying them a visit. I hope Allison is prepared for that.

I am sure Aurvandil would be able to crush Zuma if it was only active war fighting unless Zuma has some kind of dev protection so it cannot be conquered or something.

That's pure fiction, Aurvandil would never march on the lands of the Zuma. Too risky.

And in the case the daemons would fly to kick some asses I bet we'd see the first Aurvandil-Express running directly from Barca to Candiels.

that sounds antagonistic.  my hope is that eventually Gustav will get over his hatred for Allison and realize the good...

I've been thinking... we all know what their lands are, and these lands are now surrounded by human realms. Why don't we just stick netherworld banners on the Zuma regions now? And, at the same time, the pirate flag for the rogue regions as well?

Dwi isn't an unexplored mystery anymore.

They aren't Netherworld regions.

They don't have dev protection, AFAIK...

But they don't recruit the same way we do, or use resources at the same rate.

Also, the "CS" number you see probably understates their actual strength. People with more Beluaterran military experience maybe could testify to this.

This has less to do with Allison and more to do with Aurvandil.

They also priest move I think and I don't care how active your army is no army can keep up with that

They don't generally 'Priest move'  their Armies, but they do get the ability to fly /  move greater distances under certain specific circumstances. Doesn't occur too often though.

The CS of Daimons was increased during the Invasions to fix the understatement (not their actual strength), but it may still be understated, ask Serrai, he should know ;)

They aren't Netherworld regions.

For 90% of their history, they had the netherworld tag. I wouldn't care that they be given a new flag instead of the netherworld icon, though, but that's beside the point.

Interesting.

I wonder if they'll press any further.
