Oh, you had a choice. Not every war needs to devolve into a siege of a city, in fact a fluid war between just Arnor and Antiqualia would have been much more fun. But no, the rulers of Swordfell, Arnor, and Morek seem to spit in the face of anything remotely resembling fun, forming a coalition to demolish anything that should stand against them in the North. It's like the Theocracies all over again, and mark my words that what Arnor, Morek, and Swordfell are doing will lead to a very boring north.
So go ahead, take our rurals, starve Springdale into submission, knowing you guys probably even destroy HD.
Do you even have any idea of what's been going on? There was literally nothing left to do BUT assault Springdale, AQ was dying, half its nobles were gone, and the other half barely active and refusing to surrender. What the hell do you suggest we should have done, given them back some regions and then crush them again?
We're not going to destroy HD unless you refuse to surrender. Even if we DID destroy it we would refound it because Arnor can't hold on to those lands with the new changes and we don't want them anyway.
Don't come crying to me when Morek Empire v2.0 leads to a mass of bloated realms with nobles leaving left and right out of shear boredom for greener pastures.
I am sure we won't need to.
