Was a pretty petty thing to do, destroying the best cavalry centre on the island along with all the other buildings. Good way to ensure Perdan doesn't make peace with Ibladesh. Foot, meet bullet.

Well, it's been a few years since I've had the pleasure of looting Ibladesh city. Now you've given us a reason to do it again. :)

I will admit that we would not have stopped until we had taken back all the territory we lost in the last war. I doubt anyone would begrudge us that right. After that? Well, we probably wouldn't have wanted Ibladesh to stay that big, so they would /have/ to be cut down some. This gets them nice and angry and resentful toward Perdan, giving them reason to come back and attack us again.

Seriously, a good enemy is hard to find. If you keep wiping out all your enemies, who are you going to fight next?

Well, if you truly stand unchallenged among men, then take your battles to the realms of the gods.

Well, SoA is very likely to die. How it will happen is probably like this:

Sirion marches its army to Oroya and starts a colony there(SoA can't even dent a full Sirion army). They can then afford to send some force to support Obsidian Islands in taking Kazakh and surrounding regions. And..well..that's about it. Westmoor isn't likely to tip that outcome in any direction.

From what I've gathered Sirion doesn't really want peace with SoA since they can just as easily split it among current and future allies. Poor Westmoor will then be divided up among the victors with just as little that they can do about it as SoA now.

Sirion might not go to war with Westmoor. Perdan and Caligus might crush Westmoor for the betrayal.

Their colony and Obsidian Islands might like some extra land and then bring Sirion in with them.

What about me make peace, Perdan has a breather, Ibladesh stomps Caligus a bit (Perdan shouldn't have a problem with this, they aren't that close...), then then we go back at it in a few months. Once Caligus is the lesser of us two  :P

And if Aix hadn't been stripped bare and the Diocese had surrendered under pressure from Ibladesh, that might have been possible.

Now?

You'll be lucky if Perdan accepts another city as their only price (assuming we can win, of course, which I think is slightly more likely than not).
