The Current War

[Perth]

Should've been "New World Order Cagilan Empire"

[Dante Silverfire]

What about "Our Bark is worse than our Bite Cagilan Empire"

[Zadar]

First time in my history ,i'm in shame. I'm not part of CE anymore I belong to MiCE. 

That is just the form that the Empire takes in this dimension. In reality...  ;)

I can't say I agree or disagree.

But one thing is true we back in the spot light!

[GoldPanda]

FOOLS! This isn't even my FINAL FORM!

Here's a hint:

I think CE should also change their banner to:

It would make the ancient CE leaders roll on their graves :)

It would be a interesting day if that comes to pass.  ::) ;D

And here is something to Darka. You have much in common.

Tough battle were fought this morning on Darkan lands. Small margin win for Darka again... but second round looks to becoming... and not so sure how that will end.

But gotta say I'm proud of Darka. There was again 5 realms attacking... and they bounced!

It is pretty amazing to see realms like Suville and Strombran going all the way north just to find something of interest. It is probably one of the most lame things to witness in BM. I guess a kudos to Darka's pyrrhic victory is in order.

[Indirik]

53 attackers (1630 Inf, 77 MI, 630 Arch, 684 Cav, 234 SF)
40 defenders (1659 Inf, 311 MI, 300 Arch, 255 Cav, 87 SF)
Total combat strengths: 38128 vs. 32922

Defender Victory!

This is not a Pyrrhic victory. It is a true victory for freedom on Atamara!This is the fourth time the armies of the Empire have marched north to invade Darka, and the fourth time they have met with defeat.

Seriously, though, that's a LOT of cavalry they brought. Reminds of the old Perdanese cavalry charges back in the day...

Some interesting stats:

There were only 5 unique items carried into the battle by nobles. Three of them by the the Head Mouse himself, Celestial Fury.

3255 attackers
2612 defenders

Darka left 10K CS behind in an adjacent region
MiCE left 23K CS behind in two adjacent regions along their path

One Darkan hero was killed
2 Darkans were captured
14 Darkans were wounded

2 MiCE were captured
12 MiCE were wounded

Seems to me that the battle was very short, given the number of troops involved. There was one round of archer fire, five rounds of battle, and one round to mop up the last Taran unit of 16 infantry. So really only 5 rounds of true fighting. Those open field battles are short and vicious.

[Velax]

So with a 5000 CS advantage and so much cavalry, how do they lose? Were walls involved?

[Indirik]

No. They just have crappy troops. MiCE's strategy seems to be to flood Darka with huge masses of canon fodder. Of course, after the last battle in Wistir, MiCE's troops were slaughtered wholesale. They had to come back with freshly recruited green armies, while most of Darka had battle-hardened troops. Probably lots of early retreats among the Empire.
