Too much peace too much for Dwilight

[De-Legro]

If D'Hara should pass on, then a great many others should as well. D'Hara isn't shrinking, it's just stagnation that looms for as long as we don't get fresh blood (as all of the next regions to acquire are net food producers that will greatly help out).

I can agree with that, many realms have survived past their use by date and continue only because an old core remember the golden age. D'Hara could always abandon the isle territories and expand onto the main land.

[Shizzle]

And that flow will stop if the Lurians ever finds the need to crush Fissoa under their boot heels :)

Hah, they've tried that before. The monsters we face now are more of a problem than Luria ever was :)

[Sacha]

I seem to recall them running around your lands unopposed not so long ago, making it to just before Fissoa Fields. And they weren't even trying very hard then :P

They can run around all they want :) At least we got to scare off Alanna :P ("early refit")

[Sacha]

That had little to do with you scaring anyone off, and more with the plot against her by the Lurian Dukes and yours truly ;)

That's all colonized. Besides, Paisly is making me filthy rich (though I'm still re-investing almost all of it), and if the other dukes bothered to put enough efforts on fetching food themselves, they'd be as well. And the advantage of the sea routes remains as compelling as ever, if not more so.

Yup.

If not for Sacha and the Ducal Revolution, Fissoa would already be under Lurian Subjugation :D

yeah and stupid Fissoas still blame Leon for coöperating with Allana....if they only knew

But heck there was to much peace, Madina decides to reclaim a city we held for a long time and was taken by a dammed group of guys from Libero Empire from the inside. We attack and all the surrounding realms go "stop the war, peace!."   ....."Damm liberal hippies"

To say so is to severely underestimate the stakes for those realms. Self-interest prevailed where Mendicant's diplomatic skills failed.

It's almost tempting to help Madina so they can continue the war :P

You realise that at that time only Askileon was producing a decent amount, while the other cities were still building up? And that Askileon also paid for the two other armies defending our southern and northern border? Even with that strength diversion we managed to pretty much walk around your regions without problems......

Mind you, there *also* is the discourse of "We are more civilized than the blood thirsty northerners and can handle this conflict diplomatically". :P

Yes we could, if mendicant and his loonies relinquish their claims in Candiels and Candiels fields. Damm city stealers would be getting away nicely then

Since out of D'Hara, Caerwyn, Barca, Terran, Aurvandil, Madina, and Grand Duchy of Fissoa, that solution only appears to please Madina, I doubt it'll happen. Considering how poorly Madina is doing by living peacefully, I can't imagine how long it would survive the ire of the others.

They won't, unless... There is a power bloc out there that isn't among the realms named. Just saying.  ;D
