What the f*** is it with you guys and getting personally insulting on the forums? Do you guys not have anything better to do? Or is it just that you guys enjoy bashing anyone who doesn't fall immediately in line with whatever line of 'thought' you put forward?

I expect to see battles on par with the original war islands.

I doubt there will be many battles. I can't even imagine how much gold the SA nobles are paying to get to Aurvandil and then how long it'll take for them to get home again.

Well with the new sea routes it only takes 4 days travel for morek to get there. so just over a week for a refit if everyone moves when they are supposed to. so not too bad and the kcost is minimal (about the same as coming from astrum on the old sea routes)

I would imagine that astrum could get there in 2 1/2 days so they would have less than a week refit time (faster than the old sea routes)

Or perhaps SA just wants to ruckus Aurvandil and keep them from expanding.  I wouldn't chalk it up to influence.

SA didn't just move on its own. Had the 'moot not sought help, it wouldn't have gotten any.

How are they getting back?

Why would coming back be any more difficult? It's not like Terran doesn't have any harbors for them to use.

Terran is a pretty long walk and they're paying for more travel on the way back... This will be positively bankrupting war for them

Terran's not a long walk from Aurvandil.

Money isn't the problem, my character is glad he can spend it on something finally. Problem is the nasty mercenary setting bug.

If this war is going to "bankrupt" the SA realms seems to be all of you all should thanking the Véinsørmoot for getting them involved, right?  ;)


However, I highly doubt it will bankrupt them. It will surely cost them some money, but it isn't like they are fighting a normal border war where you would have to pay for the rebuilding of regions, deal with enemy looting, etc.

Also, they've been stockpiling gold for how many weeks now?...

So let's divide each of the sides into strengths and weaknesses.

Aurvandil:
Better single realm army
From what I hear, better general
on defense
only uses gold for military
Doesn't have far to refit
winning streak

The Theocracies+Terran
Gold lots of gold
Bigger total army
can invade from pretty much anywhere
more total nobles
terran can harass paisly and paisland while the other fight down south
