The Battle of Viseu

[Barrett]

We might as well start the battle talk before the battle even begins. There is some excellent trash talking coming from both the North and South! Keep it coming folks!

[Wimpie]

We won.

[CryptCypher]

Do share the good stuff! Insults! Promises! Appeasements! Wounds!

Nearly 100 nobles. A battle to remember!

[Eduardo Almighty]

One day I will see Sirion bring all its troops to the field again...

While this is not happening, I'm going to post the RP I did about the battle in my RP's topic in the Forum. Read it!!!  ;)

2753 VS 2707

Sorry Double Post, dont know what happened

[CryptCypher]

Is that a mechanic? It'd be interesting to confirm if hearing rumors about a battle messes with the values a bit, since... Well... Word of mouth and all.

[Vita`]

Yes, it's been a mechanic for as long as I can remember, since 2005. Do note where it says Estimated strengths. You didn't think scribes were there checking the ID of and documenting every single participant before they were allowed on the battlefield, did you? Don't worry, battlefield participant fraud was not a huge medieval concern.
