Southern War of Nobility (Civil war in Madina)

[Geronus]

Well technically... The war between SA and Caerwyn, Averoth, and Madina was a "World War" so far as Dwilight is concerned... a very one-sided one though.

Eh, except it left out half the world. But, it was still quite large, probably the largest ever as far as Dwilight goes.

Madina just used the Caerwyn mercenaries as archer fodder early today, then got smashed again in Candiels Fields. We have it together more than they think.

You say, as Evansburg revolts.

We didn't even get our army that far in and it still turned over to you :(  Gee.  Any other regions want to revolt right quick?

[Carna]

Funny how our diplomatic sort, our ruler in fact, happened to be having a visit with his close friends down in Candiels when Evanburg flipped. Coincidence?

Which means it wasnt your doing, so what do you want? A medal?

Is it shiny? :D

I believe his point was that their activities are preventing the realm from spending as much time as they need to on region maintenance. In other words while you might have it together more then people think (which is odd since most of us are assuming that with the super active Saxons you have it together just fine) you don't have it together enough to guard you southern border and maintain your north.

A fair comment, maybe not but when you have a habit of bragging about every realm you belong to you are going to have to expect to attract some flak back.

Bad strategic thinking on the Madinian side of the Candiels' Narrow :P

It is one turn from Candiels to Tower Fatmilak. What is causing the attacks in waves?

Because the mighty military genius in Vallyn decided to have one group of people run through Candiels and up to their northern regions, hoping the army would follow so the remainder could walk into Candiels. Then he decided that it should be a full day movement from The Tower to Candiels, despite even Halicos with his 6 hours a day and 140 archers could make it in a single turn.

To be fair, we needed something different so the first thing I can excuse. But a full turn move was silly.

However, with half our army dead, the other half over recruiting, I think we may be sitting on our arses for another month ¬¬

Hey now - I would have ordered a half-turn move.   I however, was not the one issuing orders as I was at work when the decision was made.

To be fair though, with the movement we DID get, it would have been a disaster anyways.

Also - I would like to argue that MY plan, was not the one we went with.  The Military Chamber voted for a different plan than the one I proposed.  As far as I'm concerned the plan we went with was basically doomed from the get go because it didn't account for ACTUAL game mechanics.   

[Nosferatus]

ow yeah, blame the fat drunkerd, theeere we go again....  ::)

Well it's a pretty classic target...  :P

[Galvez]

It saddens me that you turned around. It would have been fun  to see Loathin again, and to finally meet Vallyn.

Weekends, 'nuff said :P

To be honest, if we'd have had everyone move at the same time, preferably in time for tomorrow morning's turn, we'd have had a good chance at breaking through the walls.

I'm just rather miffed as a player. We sit on our arses for weeks, then orders come at a silly time of night (I only just got them before going to bed), then we turn around (again at late notice). So now the foreseeable future is "sit on your arse, the battle will come". But Halicos is happy for now so y'know, no complaining from me :P
