Greater Xavax Imperium

Well, I really think that if Caligus didn't want to withdraw from that war they wouldn't have. It's kinda naive to believe people wage wars on the grounds of morality and compassion.

...but then there are those strange, quirky characters that doesn't wage war solely on the single, strict criteria; that no realm should aspire to control more than two cities. 
Madness :D

Can't you make a distinction between political rhetoric and actual strategic motifs?

Obviously, I called them out on it day 1, if you were paying attention

Let's stop the snide remarks and keep the conversation civil and respectful.

Xavax is outnumbered? What? 38 nobles in a single realm doesn't mean they are outnumbered. With Perdan pulling out, Vix+Southern realms will be the ones to be outnumbered.

And how many regions does each side have? How many of those regions are smoking craters due to aggressive looting?

[Zakilevo]

Realm sizes don't matter as much as they used to thanks to the size limit.

Gold diminishes hard beyond 10 regions. Beyond 15, it becomes way too hard to manage.

You don't need too much gold to boost your CS when you have 38 nobles. Just go back to the good old fashion way. Make people recruit 10~20 men each. If you don't even have that much gold, you should consider surrendering.

[GoldPanda]

It makes a difference when your opponent can still field more troops than you, even though you have twice the number of knights. About half of those 38 nobles are youngsters who can command at most 30 troops. Most of the bandit knights don't even leave their cities with fewer than 100 troops.

If you don't even have that much gold, you should consider surrendering.

And what kind of example would I be setting for the new players? To even suggest such a thing... Good day to you, sir!  >:(

[Zakilevo]

You are forgetting the fact you lose less CS per man when you have less men. If you have 10 men, you maintain over 90% of your CS. At 50, you are down to 50%. At 100, you are down to 40% due to diminishing return. That is why it is  wise to have multiple small militia units than 1 large one most of the time.

Having 38 nobles leading 30 men each is much better than 11 people leading 100 men each.

Sadly, Perdan has a bad reputation in that regard. You *will* surrender. Or you will be annihilated. Those are your only options with Perdan. And if you're extra special, Perdan will force you to be isolated and unable to participate in the island with the thread of extermination over your head, and you'll lose all those younger knights to boredom, leaving the game. But Perdan had fun!
