Not only has Strombran been there for weeks but we are practically always there as our army rotates and carries enough cash to stay in the field for weeks. Unless the army looses a bad battle we are able to be there for quite some time.

Can you lend some military leaders to Tara? They seem to have problems staying on the front longer than a few days.

O this has been alive lately ::)

Well i guess the Central Alliance has made a lot of progress, not that i've been truly observing just enjoying all the rants going on here and there.

Whats next you gotta wonder is will All of the North feel the wrath of the central alliance or will only some of it?

AT has really bottle necked itself with treaties and alliances. Everyone once to be  CE/Tara's friend no one else willing truly to fight. mm Abington should get its butt in gear!.. O I mean Suville.

Well I'm in MI, but the current offer is just to keep York. There are some other conditions but I'm not sure they are relevant considering there doesn't seem to be much chance of King Sidd agreeing to it. Something like "I'd rather die first"*.

Hehe, maybe the offer was meant to be rejected? ;)

I would say the same thing with that offer.

Yeah, with Eston's surrender I'll be interested to see what happens to BoM and Darka.

Seeing as CE and company do not seem to want give any terms for peace I suppose it'll end up being death to all.

If that's indeed the case, I'd jump on a ship to darka tonight.
Fight the entire CE alliance alone, on your own soil with the reserves that Darka has... there hasn't been a war that epic since ibby gambled and failed. And I have a feeling that that war won't even come close to this one. :)

Meh, it won't be too much of a war. If the Empire brings the same forces to Darka that they brought to Eston, they'll roll over us. They have managed to keep 35-40K CS in a big blob as they walk across Eston.

The only chance we have is if Talerium and Tara stay out of it. At that point, it would be CE against Darka. We may be able to hold out against that for quite a while, if Talerium holds to the border treaty. That would make things interesting.

This is sounding better with the minute. It's like playing a BT Invasion on hard, just how I like it. :)

As long the guy with all the banishing scrolls auto-pauses just like last Invasion, CE will be fine.

They've been working on terms, but things keep changing. A combination of factors has prevented them from issuing anything final. I think they also expected to be at a standstill for much longer and weren't prepared for such success and the resulting increased demands they could make. It probably doesn't help that they've been able to keep pushing that advantage (which, I've got to say, is pretty impressive... those cycled refits are amazing).

The only chance we have is if Talerium and Tara stay out of it. At that point, it would be CE against Darka. We may be able to hold out against that for quite a while, if Talerium holds to the border treaty. That would make things interesting.

Talerium would almost certainly stay out, but I doubt Tara would. I won't lie, Coria would probably join in Talerium's place.

Which pretty much makes it a non-war.

Exactly... I'm very curious, however, what will happen as the map changes so radically. It really does seem like it'l eventually stagnate, but I can't really justify an IC reason why I wouldn't want things to continue on this road (at least for Ravendon).

Have there been any circumstances similar to this on other islands? How were they resolved?

Any chance we could get an Invasion, just as a catalyst? (Perhaps not as harsh as Beluaterra's Invasions, but something powerful enough to break up the situation.)  :P

Unless the invasion only hit CE, it wouldn't do anything.
