Creating another "warpath" may not be the only solution, but it seems to me to be a solution. It would allow the north to cut a fairly direct line to Eaglin, Cagil or even, for the big cash, Calis. Of course, that would mean fighting the way through Talerium, but is that more or less appealing than the current situation? Not for me to decide, obviously, but its a question that should be asked if things are to change.
There is a saying that goes like this "outside the ball many songs are heard".I don't expect you to make sense from it so i will explain.When you are not in the problem it is easy to find solutions.Currently Eston has an open war with Talerium (and BoM so far helped them) and Tal+ friends managed in the end not only to stop them from entering Talerium but to attack them to Nazamroth and TO it.
You really believe that just because Darka will enter this war and pass from Talerium it would sack Eaglin in a week?It is not as easy as you believe.Real leadership? What don't you people understand that there are talks for freeing the Cantril path without the collateral damage and noone is trying to work on that direction except Darka?
Does it have to be war when it can be held open with peace?A war is not just fighting and showing your teeth,a war is also politics.If Cantril ever opened it would mean Darka can pass and of course viceversa,but Talerium would not attack Darka as of course Darka would not attack Talerium.Crazy stuff huh?
You want to realize the problem?I will tell you the problem.Cagilan has an exceptional alliance and a very strong to the core.Tara Ce and Talerium are one next to another ,one strong Core and with very fast reacting military force.They have Coria almost securing their borders since passing from them means crushing into the forsaken mountains and BIIIIING the other way to Tara is closed and brings their army in as well,not of course to mention the fact they prepare the enemy of the upcoming forces.So attacking from there is idiotic.Thus one side and ally is totally secured there.
Then it's Talerium that secures the other path but also holds a neutral stance as long as you stand neutral to them.So who would like to have a void attacking border from the one side and an open one from the other side that yes it will work both ways but it will also bring all the war into 2 of the northren lands and some of CE.
The north doesn't have such a strong alliance and it seems poor in coordination as everyone (and by that i mean Darka as well) is trying to protect what it can.The only difference with Darka is that they always brought the largest combat force against CE but with that kind of attacks it was useless.
And it saddens me to see that all that is attacked is Darka.Why Darka is the weakest link again?Because they are the big bad mercenaries?If Eston declared war on Coria and did not sign that peace treaty we would be looting Tara to the ground and we would see then if CE would bring reinforcements to Talerium to attack Eston.They wouldn't.The most important and coordinated ally CE has is Tara and their lands are open for "rape" if you allow me the word.There are a gazillion ways to make this war happen but it requires a strong core alliance to face another strong core alliance.Our isn't working like this unfortunately.As a player this is my opinion.
