50 cavalries evened the odd? Do cavalry units make that much difference? I mean against masses of infantry units? Don't cavalries turn into infantries after the initial charge?

Peri

No well it's not only 50 horses at all. But some huge horse units and more broadly speaking increasing the amount of cavalry really made the difference, you can check battle reports and receiving a 3500 hits charge is quite damaging, and if the horse unit doesn't take too many hits, it goes on inflicting some very nice damage.

I wonder if the game mechanic allows people to pull something like hammer and anvil. ;D

SoA's greatest fear: Sirionite Cavalry. We have lost much battles due to your cavalry. And we lack good cav-RC's to counter yours.

One of the best things I've ever seen is Sirion cavalry and Perdan Infantry, the Mountain Elite of Castle Ubent 80 80/80 and another infantry from Partora or Perdan City (cant remember their names) were like 75 90/70 or something like that.

The Perdan Parliamentary Infantry: 75/90/70.

We used to have the best cavalry center, in Aix, the Black Riders. (Which we will soon have again! HA HA HA!!!)

Sirion just destroyed Fontan in their own capital again. Time to steal some tax gold :)

Read it and weep. The training might not be as high, but training can be increased, while weapon and armor levels cannot. That's why I like Darka.

Hm, since this is about war stories on EC, shouldn't we be bragging about our awesome RCs on EC? Let's hear from OI. For all we know they might be secretly harboring a 90 100/100 SF center that they never use only because they don't have the income in their entire realm to recruit and support any.  :D

What? They have 100/100 SF? really?

That is very unlikely. But Ibladesh also boasts some very nice Cavalry centers. Though I really don't know much about our RCs as I'm a Priest and get to lead a unit of mules ???

Artemesia said "for all we know".  So no, they probably don't have one, but OI tends to be very silent.

I would be able to tell you an East Continent one if my bloody active nobles would go from 2 to 3. Unfortunately, I am not able to join Sirion (I miss you, my love!) until then.

Truly one of my favourite and least favourite things is the war banter.

Some of the interactions between the Troop Leader's in regions is absolutely hysterical, and some is completely mental. Not in a terribly good way either.  :o

I've seen friendly and honourable encounters between warring states on the EC, and some dastardly but amazingly written deeds happen. EC has flavourful wars if nothing else.

At least between Perdan/Caligus and the recent war of the Federation vs the Alliance. (to quote the Asenian Courier which I do happen to read) The roleplays and letters sent back and forth in combat zones makes me typically chuckle aloud, which is something in itself.  :D

I don't know much about the interactions between Sirion and SoA, but I can imagine the years of warring would lead to some interesting character developments.

Last time I was near the front in Sirion, Fontan seemed to be in denial about losing.
