VICTORY

[Solari]

Maybe it's your mix of troops? Thalmarkin and Riombara, the premier daimon-killing forces on the island, have employed large quantities of heavy infantry and melee special forces. I don't know what Melhed has for RCs, but I seem to recall that your premier SF recruitment center is for ranged SF.

It's true—arrows are for little girls! Melhed has some amazing infantry and melee SF RCs, though. Thalmarkin made some adjustments early on in how we fought the Daimon armies. Hanging back wasn't accomplishing anything but getting people wounded, so we instead started closing the gap as quickly as possible, using every unit like it was cavalry.  ;D

I really cannot believe how unlucky (and I think it was mostly simple bad luck) Melhed had been with Midnight. It MAY be that the Midnights were individually tougher than the Darkest Hours and Blight Creatures (Riombara fought the southern Midnight 5 times once he commanded horrors, plus a few times in central Enweil before being able to kill him) but that cannot explain all. Melhed fought the current Midnight EIGHT times in a row, wounding him thrice in one battle 2 or 3 times - and he survived.

Considering that Midnight needs to be killed AND his successor Darkest Hour before any of the eastern blight becomes 'unblighted', considering that Midnight is now in far western Sint I am starting to lose hope to ever see Fwuvoghor again.

I'd /really/ like to see Riombara connected via two routes to the north...having 'only' the current route gives Riombara too strong a position.

...having 'only' the current route gives Riombara too strong a position.

I presume you either mean "too weak" or "Enweil"...

If there is no northern route, Riombara is much stringer than Enweil. We would have only to fortify Lopa and Droxago, and a full 6 cities realm would stand behind with no other possible route.

Hm. OK, fair enough.

But what the hell can we do??

Destroy Enweil? That just feels obvious.....  :D

More seriously, I agree Beluaterra will be more fun with a northern route than without.

Sint is getting a lot of attetion now.

The southern Blight Daimon falls to Gellaer D'Espana of Riombara.

Lucky bastards! Hopefully Sint can kill the daimon in Aesh...

[Psyche]

Riombara is on a roll.

[Tan dSerrai]

Luck? Yep, we certainly had that. Boy am I glad that we do not have to fight the 'healing half' of that daimon army this sunset.
Still, we did execute two /very/ carefully organized attacks (into Avengmil and Cjelegy). Basically every last youth capable of holding a stick fought in Cjelegy...two military characters did not take part, 37 did.

Interestingly, Southern Blight Daimon is still listed as present in Cjelegy. I seriously hope he is dead, dead, dead.

[Darksun]

Probably just a matter of Tom deleting the character. Wish I could see the darn map. Getting wounded in the first round is pretty sad.

[fodder]

not so much deleting as burying... the corpse of nobles linger, for example...
map hasn't been updated yet. (i guess).. not missing much on that front

[Telrunya]

Riombara has been so awfully lucky the moment Overlord was slain. While certainly this was not possible without good coordination and a strong Army, we managed to kill the Daimon Commander each time where others still struggle to get a killing blow in. I wonder how much we'll get back this time, not many lands in the South left.

Interestingly, Southern Blight Daimon is still listed as present in Cjelegy. I seriously hope he is dead, dead, dead.

That's normal, even for normal characters. Tom just need to get around and bury him, and do his magic with the Blight.

[Tan dSerrai]

Map: It looks like as if 'only' Brovyl, Ovujemeh and Cagamir have been unblighted - but not Eno. If this is true - dang! I did speculate that with so few southern regions left maybe there'd be some 'spillover' to unblight a few of those eastern-blighted regions. Ah well, one could hope.

Five more days- yay! Boy, am I looking forward to rebuilding.
