So, which is worse? The Blight that appeared in Paisly for a week or so earlier this ear, or the Aurvandil invasion?

This, the blight thing just scared the crap out of D'hara but the battle actually did hurt D'hara though it mainly only hurt our troops, not the region.

I don't know, ear infections can be brutal...  ;D

Luckily for D'Hara, the battle in Maeotis did enough damage to Aurvandil's army to prevent us from casually de-walling the city in a handful of days as we did to Rettleville. But strangely enough, we're able to run a take over, which I assume is a colony take over, which means I very strongly hope it fails, I don't want to lose our star general to a new colony. (Assuming I am correct in thinking the person who started the take over, founds the colony).  Luckily for us however, we can access the market in Paisly to redistribute our food.

One look at Paisly's markets is hilarious though, endless buy offers from Barca and D'Hara, one of the lords in Aurvandil suggested we make endless sell offers at of 100 bushels at 10 gold just to taunt them, which would just be  cruel. I wonder if D'Hara will actually continue this war, or do the sensible thing and make peace with Aurvandil where we would sell them enough food to end their starvation immediately, 'cause God knows why but Aurvandil likes D'Hara and would rather support them than fight them.

I thought CTOs were still broken? You must have a neighbouring region connected via sea lanes?

Isn't madina connected to paisly?

Oh, we do, the Madina - Paisly route. I never considered that. Well this makes things interesting, though Aurvandil more than likely won't complete the TO, we're only doing to "suppress the region" and assert our authority.

Paisly is Madina's neighbor by the sea route, there is no reason why it would have a to be a CTO. It's probably a normal TO.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

That *used* to be how it worked. Now, it doesn't. (Well, CTOs are broken now, but that's the way it worked before they broke.)
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Takeovers don't actually affect a region's stats while they're in progress, do they? Even a fear takeover.

The annoying part as a diplomat is that sympathy and loyalty don't affect the takeover either.

Abuse of game mechanic?
