And there will be more Astroists in Terran in the future.

No I'm not already planning my next Dwilight character.

A new war is breaking out   (just in)
Libero Empire has declared war on Caerwyn.
Ha! We've got you now, Caerwyn! This was the last thing we needed to seal your fate.

Well it was a fun war. Ultimately Caerwyn picked a fight with too many realms and our allies completely failed us/or imploded. lessons learned.

Your allies would have been there had you been attacked. But since you declared...

Yeah. We dug our own grave on this one. Thr real question now is can we avoid getting our whole body in it.

Well Caerywn will lose the capital for sure and most of the eastern inner sea regions.

Caerwyn will probably shrink to a single duchy realm. If Caerwyn manage to win against Itau, it will become a dual duchy realm.

Caerwyn should really put all her efforts into getting peace agreements signed. If not with everyone at once, with key players individually.

They would have to actually propose a peace treaty for that to happen. We're still waiting.

First, won't happen. Second, I don't think it will matter. At this point, I'm wondering if Caerwyn can even be saved.

Caerwyn has /some/ bargaining power left.  That is only because their walls and RC's have some value.   They waited too long.  Now their capitol is in ruins froom starvation they don't even appear to be threatening anymore.   Swift capitulation might earn them a small amount of gratitude but like Indirik said, they haven't even made any offer of terms.  If their first letter about peace could be considered peace terms it was more insulting than anything else.

I would like to try and save one or two of those RC's and the walls.  That is the only value that Caerwyn has right now.   Their infrastructure is the only thing of value they have.

For the record I got Caerwyn's proposed peace treaty today. From reading it, you'd almost think that Caerwyn was on the verge of breaking Astrum, rather than in the middle of a death spiral.

Not *quite* that bad. But part of it was that we would all recognize "traditional realm borders", including that Astrum would give back Walefishire.

What I found most striking about it was what it says about what they think we want.
