I didnt know Canada had a monarchy... cool.

Obviously (and luckily), you've not been living in Canada in the last few years.

1812 .... Nevar forget

Right, let us forever remember that war in which we supported British military who was kidnapping foreigners to force them into their navy, and because of which we promised to stop arming the natives and therefore allow them to be slaughtered by the americans.

Indeed, let us never forget the stupid reasons for joining the war and the disastrous results of it.

I am Canadian by the way, perhaps it somehow reflects and affects/effects how I play and see myself as a leader of a kingdom. And how I act in battlemaster. I ain't British and I certainly am not American. I am Canadian...

I also live in Canada. I don't consider myself Canadian.

So you must be French Canadian... Yeah so am I , I'm a LaPointe. Family line goes back to 1667 in Quebec through the Audette family name. Grew up on the west coast of Canada. Quebecois I assume? Quebec separatism can shove itself...

Oh and I really don't care about the deep history of the war of 1812, I was merely making a joke about the fact that Canada burnt the Whitehouse to the ground in 1812. My meaning being that the United States, is also indefensible, a super powerful country with a huge military just had a bunch of airplanes flown into its largest city a few years ago.

Or I could easily reverse it and say that Astrum is also completely indefensible. Its just one more remark from Geronus in a long line of snarky remarks.

Being backed by the world's greatest superpower (and by far) to achieve victories against a nation of farmers (back then) is hardly something to be proud of. Then again, the Americans pretty much won that war anyways, so I'd be more inclined to view that war as one of the greatest embarrassments of that century.

Seems silly to me to celebrate a few victories of a lost war, especially how shameful that war was for us.

I tell you, if it were up to me, I'd put on most of these war memorials "in honor of all those who died because of honorless governments in wars we had no business in joining". 1812, the Boer wars, the first world war, the korean war, just to name a few non-recent ones.

As for the US today, if you declare it "indefensible" because of the 9/11 events, then by those criteria no nation at all would be. International terrorism is not something anyone can be immune to. Those who get the least of it get less not because of better defenses, but because they piss of others less than those who do.

Now now, children, you know better than to bring real-world politics into a Battlemaster thread. So stop trying to satisfy your butt-hurt e-peens and take it somewhere else.

[Glaumring the Fox]

Yes, thank you!

Now to return to game talk...

Asylon is on the rise. You are all jealous...  8)

[egamma]

Asylon is like...Australia. Lots of land, indefensible, on the edge of civilization, underpopulated...

oh...another British Commonwealth!  :P

[Glaumring the Fox]

Yeah and D'hara is like the best little whore house in Texas then?

[JPierreD]

Are you planning on seceding Itau to continue the colonization north, or are you done with taking lands?

[Glaumring the Fox]

We are not sure yet. We have talked briefly with Iashular about lands north of the Corridor of Torment. We don't have any desire for going into their traditional lands. We do have a dispute about the Corridor of Torment though. Other than that we have no issue with Iashular.

I really wish we could go south, but the Zuma stop any progress that way.

In regards to seceding a region like Itau, we have thought about it. It wouldn't work out right now. We are waiting for other people/kingdoms on the map to start breaking up their own kingdoms into smaller entities. I figure the map would be way better off under a hundred feuding smaller kingdoms than in its current stagnant form. I am not going to unilaterally break up my kingdom though just so it can be devoured by larger kingdoms. The huge SA alliance is making for anything remotely fun like small scale land battles and border wars impossible, because it would inevitably end up in a gank. So, everyone is holding their cards close. The current mindset on Dwilight is all out war and all out destruction of kingdoms, play to crush type situation.

In Sicily, of course!

Actually Astrum is very defensible, always has been. How do you think we survived a two on one war in a terrible strategic position?

I any case, I was only joking, and the butt of the joke was supposed to be Asylon, not Canada. Didn't mean to tickle your patriotic pride, eh?

[Indirik]

Astrum has one of the most defensible geographies on the continent. Only Madina may be better. We have an unparallelled ring of fortifications around some very productive core lands. It's how we managed to grow so well, and completely stop Caerwyn cold in the south.

D'Hara, with most regions having either lvl 2 or lvl 5ish walls is pretty defensible as well.

[Indirik]

Yeah, you've got it pretty good, too.
