What's Minas Thalion like?

[Ketchum]

I was assuming you voted for her but from this did you actually vote Spearhead? Next time I think I might vote Spearhead then ask for General. Perhaps having votes split between two old candidates is bad.

I really thought she was a goner after offering 1k gold and 1k food for a ceasefire, but no one even batted an eyelid.

Bleh who needs to be elected. Time to start winning.

Well, I never voted for her after her latest surrender terms case. Yes, I voted Spearhead. You are good at guess 8)

You are doubly right, we should start winning the battles ;D

Cathal's peace offer was always very simple: pay what you think you ought to as recompense for your treachery, then let's ally/federate and build a new power block to balance Lukon. He was also very careful to restrain those forces who wanted to see Oritolon destroyed because that would have made such an outcome impossible.

However successive Oritolon governments have procrastinated in the hopes Lukon would solve the problem for them, and there'll be a price to pay for taking that course. Where is the sweetness in victory when it's another's arms who achieve it? And more to the point, where is the relevance of a realm who can't defend her own borders? Breaking Oritolon's field army was far too easy given her natural advantages.

The obvious course for Oritolon is to have done with independence and merge fully with Lukon for the north-south war which must happen once Giblot falls. A nice big apocalyptic conflict to either end the Colonies and send them crashing into the waves, or break Lukon's power and start a new age with maybe some new realms to spice things up.

feyeleanor, no disrespect to Cathal and his peace offer. Unfortunately many old guys in Orit did see the loss of Alowca duchy regions as a sort of embarrassment to them. After all, they all presided over the demise of Alowca realm in the past. If Alowca realm come to life, surely they cant sleep well  ;D

Congratulations Actrial/Kai on your election as Prime Minister. Finally Rhiannon the one PM who offered 1K gold and 1K food was brought down to earth  :P

I was worried at one point that Oritolon would accept - especially once I put permanent title to Alowca on the table. Thankfully "thrice-cursed" Spearhead and the other old-timers would never make peace with an Alowcan, as Cleatus made very clear once war was declared. Ash really does have some treacherous realm mates :)

And whilst Cathal would willingly embrace an alliance with Oritolon - his earliest prophecies were a call to rescue Oritolon's people from Valast's dominion - this was but a test for the all-encompassing war he's long anticipated.

So... about MT

[Ketchum]

So... about MT

MT is dying and will cease to be a realm soon... So much for the Utopia clannie super dragon kingdom there 8)

[Kai]

Weird, MT now have a region in the far north.

[feyeleanor]

It does indeed.

[Nathan]

Weird, MT now have a region in the far north.

We're just too cool to stay dead ;)

[Ketchum]

Cool, MT has new region so up there. Now if Lukon eyes move down to up, hehehe  :P

I never know MT TO that region either, Kai  ::)

[feyeleanor]

If Lukon makes that move it'll show the deception that is their war with Giblot. A war whose sole purpose is to keep Assassins and OT dancing on their leash :P

[Valast]

Oh they dont have to dance... they can just hum along and shift weight from one foot to the other...

[feyeleanor]

Oh they dont have to dance... they can just hum along and shift weight from one foot to the other...

They have to be careful not to let their feet slip though or the leash could easily become a noose ;)

[Ketchum]

With regard to why Minas Thalion still survive  ;D

Creedy: [desperately shooting at the approaching V] Die! Die! Why won't you die?... Why won't you die?
V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy. And ideas are bulletproof.

[Will Bell]

but then he dies......
