The War of Ice and Sun

[Velax]

It's like both sides are desperately trying to paint themselves as the underdog, like an Australian State election. "You have all the advantages in this war, so we're doing so well to keep up!" "No, you have all the advantages and you mismanaged them!"

[Miriam Ics]

You said what I was thinking.

The statistics page reveals otherwise. For most of the values that it tracks, Melhed rarely, if ever, outproduced Thalmarkin, this has been so since well before the outset of this war. One of the values I thought was interesting was that of military power, where the numbers actually run in Melhed's favor, until I realized that every city in Melhed sports at least 5-6000 CS of militia.

I would argue that this war is truly interesting only because of the passionate RP hatreds between the two nations (which I absolutely adore)  and that Melhed has consistently held out for so long since Thalmarkin has been unable or unwilling to steamroll their way to Agyr

They're hoping winter will do their dirty work. A good move imo but anticlimactic. Maya kinda wants to go to the edge of Qual and yell COME AT ME BRO.

Hah, true. Forum propaganda wars drain my soul just a little bit. Better to take it IG.

Maya wants to meet Red again?

Maya loves making new frenemies.

The latter is a conscious choice. I will never assault Agyr directly. Just isn't going to happen. It might suffer, and eventually crumble to be sure, but I'm not going to piss away Thal's limited resources on some vainglorious assault on one of three Melite cities. ;-P

That being said, there is a party in lloringel. Wanna come?

[Miriam Ics]

Nice RP

Enzo's delegates will be arriving shortly. 

In seriousness, I *do* want Enzo to make it to a battle. There's a RP involving a donkey that I've been dying to write...

[JeVondair]

23k vs 8k?

Yup, that should just about do it. GG guys.

[Chenier]

Enzo, the dude that put the Chénier family on a path of rebellion and unrest. 

[Solari]

There's more than 23K floating around. We have a bunch of old, slow nobles, though I love them so.

That was fast...

[Lorgan]

Huh.
