Siege of Toren Stronghold

[De-Legro]

I'm not quite sure how Ikakak still thinks it has a chance now. I can't imagine the Sandals are going to let them have Taselak City, which is their only hope of lasting longer than a month after Taselak is gone. And if they do not have the city, they will likely not have very many defectors (except Aeneas maybe :p). The rest will join Sandalak or disappear.

So we are looking at a scenario where Sandalak has two cities and close to 100 nobles, and Ikalak has a city, Toren, and maybe 50 nobles.

At least it'll be somewhat gratifying to turbo-crush the Ikkies :)

I may recall incorrectly, but I believe by the terms of the agreement Ikalak does indeed get Taselak City.

Then you'd be the fools for honoring it ;)

[Ossan]

For once I agree with Sacha, they'd have to be beyond incompetent to let that happen.

Or warriors looking for a good fight instead of an easy victory.

I'm only mostly joking when I say maybe they chose the wrong realm to kill off if they wanted a good fight instead of an easy victory : p

What makes you think a choice was involved? There were not two separate opportunities to be weighed.

What makes you think a choice could not be involved? Regardless, I agree with Sandalak's choice. It'd be weird for them not to be pursuing the 2vTaselak.

Kai, why do you have to be such a negative person? It was a good fight all around, in my opinion. From start to finish, both teams played excelently. I'm really honored to have been 'foes' of such an excellent group of people, and I'm really looking forward to the next map! Please add Toren back, this 2v1 thing has been so unfair.

Harking back to the days of the War Island minigame, the best map was the four player one. The three player maps were more often than not resolved by two players beating up on the third, and when that was not the case, when there was a more or less even three-way standoff happening, each player would hunker down and the game would drag on interminably. That seems to be the state of affairs in any three way game. It's the strategically optimal way to play.

So in the future I think it would be better to have a four realm island, with one realm being at Toren Stronghold. Even though it's not the ideal place for a fourth realm to be, it would still improve the strategic dynamic.

This!

At this point I think a majority of the Taselakians might actually simply pause their chars, or have them die in death duels if they get accepted. From those leaving, I expect the majority to go to Sandalak, except Aeneas for sure :p, not Maybe Sacha. Ikalak would have to pull some rare stunts to get the Taselakians to join them on a larger scale rather than just getting the Lord Torturer in.

I would find it preferable if most did pause, but then that is signing them up for boredom until the island resets.

Just a tad less boring than a Sandalak vs Ikalak punch-up, I'd say :P

It depends, it's not like it's your only char. Curious to see though how many Taselakians will actually turn, or will they even die? I mean Taselak City hasn't fallen yet and won't go as easily as Toren Stronghold did of course.

Not their only character, but I would think you will find most people consider their War Island character to be the most enjoyable.
