Considering the experience of some of the Astrum players, I'm sure they already realise that. That said several realms have fought and won wars on more then 2 fronts before, its a hard situation, but certainly doable.

Can't wait to actually see Astrum do something smart in this war so far.  :P I wonder when they realize how hard it is to fight a two-front war and what a great position Caerwyn if it comes to a defensive war.

I'm hoping this arrogance is from a character perspective because the forces that will be arrayed against Caerwyn will be nothing short of a shock and awe campaign (to steal a line from Donny Rumsfeld). Readying the war machine takes time in massive realm(s), but as soon as she begins to pump and billow smoke it is truly something to be feared.

Oh come on, we got jumped from behind by a sneak attack, while facing a surprise 12K CS army on the other side of our realm, where we expected only 9K. What did you expect, instant reaction from a 20K CS reserve army?

OK, do you really think that everyone is Astrum is stupid, and has never fought a war before? Seriously, you're starting to go a bit far with this OOC trash talk.

And besides, what makes you think this will be a two-front war for very long?

Yes, indeed Astrum bent over backwards which she should not have done. Dang I am trapped in the city with only 2 other nobles lol.

What makes you think it will stay a two front war?

Err.... I'm gonna go ahead and say you're wrong on that. The current frontier is 4 regions from your capital, 2 from theirs. They have 2 cities close to the frontlines where they can repair and cash bonds; you have a townsland.

Taking Duil was certainly a good start for ya'll... but you better take Chrysantalys pretty fast.

Caerywn cannot access our northern regions unless they go through Eidulb Outskirts or through monster infested mountains. Good lucky with going over EO with 8k CS.

I apologize for my rude attitude, but you and your friends were trash-talking Caerwyn a bunch earlier. You called us liars and that we fabricated wars. If you don't want to hear the !@#$ then don't shovel it out.  Though at least I have the guts to admit I'm wrong. I know we're all passionate about our realms, but drop the attitudes and I shall as well? I was hoping this would just turn into a nice chat but instead it's more like a bitch-fight between us.

Another thing I'd like to add is that you Astrumites are also being arrogant in the whole "who said it was gonna be a two-front war for long?" Sure if you get rid of Averoth soon it will be easier for Astrum and her allies to fight us. But the nobles from Averoth are also very well organized like you have seen and I would hope that majority of them join Caerwyn as we would be the best chance to continue to the fight. It would enable us to take Via, Lower Via, Kid's Rock, and other regions.

So how about we be nice? Yeah? I am sorry for my comment earlier, in was unintended to be rude.

That's the way BM works, you win some, you lose some. If Caerwyn dies then I can finally go to PeL and try to get a following to create a colony  ;D

Well if Astrum loses, I am gonna go to southern realms and join one of smaller ones. I am actually a bit tired of playing in a big realm :( Never had a chance to play in a tiny realm.

Why go to PeL for colonization? In Madina, a citizens right to colonize is written in the very constitution! all you need is your liege consensus. ;)
