I spoke to him a fair bit when he was playing Erasmus, seemed like a normal enough guy. I dunno - he did have a sort of twisted humor though. I'd be sad if this was more than that

Persecuted? We have never been or feel persecuted. We are victorious and if it wasnt for the monster invasion they'd be speaking Asylonian from Astrum to the shores of D'Hara.

Asylon always had a policy of limited alliances, few allies and a philosophy of total eternal war. Joining Luria insured us that. Joining any other realm would have insured boredom.

This is the most beautiful reason I've ever seen to join Luria.

Having said that, I'm not bitching about the path that Asylon has taken. They've had a wild ride, and I bet that the players in it had a hell of a lot of fun along the way. My issue is with the characterization of Asylon as the persecuted victim. That's a load of propaganda crap.

Asylon had a long history of involving themselves in everyone else's business, because they just couldn't handle the fact that no one wanted to play with them. Other than Kabrinskia, pretty much everyone's policy toward Asylon was "go away and leave us alone".

Ever bit of SA propaganda i've ever read was "DEATH TO THE CULTISTS" so that is probably where a large portion of that comes from. However considering current developments in that regard, Morek's gone guano so the Cultists have no enemies left - except Alaster, and his days are numbered to whichever realm manages to catch him with an active ban first

Ahhh Luria, functionally dysfunctional since the beginning.

saddest truth ever

With all the Asylonians and Niselurians in Luria... You can guarantee it.

Won't need to if we simply cough up land for them - which has always been the intent since the invasion of beasts started. One of the major pissing contests between Willhelm and I was because of Grimrog throwing him under a bus apparently and dropping the ball on that whole plan.

Well that's nice to know, glad he threw the whole alliance under a bus when he ducked out. Oh well, it happens. Lil late now unless everyone looking for a 'new home' feels like cutting a chunk out of morek, but no - everyone wants to stay where they are in Luria's backyard

You're obviously not paying attention - as I have always said, these were arrangements and statements made by Grimrog, not you. To be entirely honest, Willhelm's goals were essentially moot from the moment you took office and reneg'd on every deal Grimrog made.

It's not that it wasn't expected, we were actually fighting another Luria-D'Hara war when the event drove Barca East and started the current Cluster-war.

Distance wasn't the excuse, the King saying "hey, don't worry about it - if we fail here we'll just move south by you guys" was the reason. Y'know since we were sorta fighting a war against three realms already, that is a better excuse than supporting a suicidal bid for land against Astrum and Morek.

Funny that you claim Luria is oblivious to the letters received from the League when they're pretty much always quoted and passed on directly, realm wide. That's why when 'peace negotiations' that required Luria to give D'Hara and Fissoa land on top of that which Barca demanded were passed on - lulz were had by all.

One thing i have learned in this game is that in a war, every side always declares the other side as being at fault, stubborn, hypocritical, guilty, land-grabbing, empire building, etc. Invariably, it's always the other guys fault. Makes sense, because if people didn't feel that way, they wouldn't go to war.

True, and honestly I'm having more fun over the internal pissing contests of this war sometimes than the war itself. Erasmus's undercut to takeover for Julius? Julius ratting out Erasmus reinstating the exiled Rapists of Grodno? Chenier's arrest and SA's complete lack of care? REALLY wasn't expecting that one, was expecting more whining about Priest arrest there. All more lulzy events than the war itself. The story being written in Dwilight is just awesome the last few months

Willhelm wouldn't bring up Luria's consistent inaction if Lurians didn't always pat themselves on the back talking about their endless generosity shown towards Asylon, and Asylon's supposed violation of the alliance. I know for a fact Asylon asked Luria to let them take Poryatown when it was rogue and Luria immediately sent it's own takeover force before Asylon could get to it. Luria also closed its food markets to Asylon, which violated the alliance.

You asked when ours were already on the way. Again, despite your insistence to change the terms Grimrog agreed to for your arrival to the east - your plans were not our plans. The fact you can't keep up and felt you could change your mind -after- your arrival and after you took Matten Dews and Girich stating "we're going to take them (because they're rogue right now) and give them to you as a sign of good will" then proceeded to keep them. You'll excuse us if we took offence.

You must be joking. Asylon recruited as many troops as they could in Via, and then marched them clear across the continent, fighting monster hordes along the way, then fought a war against 3 enemies, and then marched those same troops south and took over Girich, Mattan Dews, Giask & Grodno. Since then, the distance hasn't stopped Astrum and Swordfell from attacking Asylon twice, nor has it stopped Morek from attacking Luria.

Apologies, but you're purely an idiot. Asylon was granted special mechanics status by devs because of the event. If you forgot that, that's your problem. While it's entirely valid IC argument to make, OOC it's simply asinine to forget that every western realm was granted that status. Otherwise Barca's army would have !@#$ itself before they made it to Luria in the first place

The problem is you keep calling it a superpower - Power by virtue of people ignoring you is not power.

I'm assuming that 61k CS includes Militia. If it does, that's a rather LARGELY skewed statistic. Given i've seen the scout report for the Morek force sitting north of  Luria from maybe a week or so ago that consisted of roughly half to 2/3 their noble count, there's no way that 60k is mobile. Gold income means nothing when you're blowing it all on militia and infrastructure expenses.

The largest non-allied force to Morek has had a standing treaty of "Here's a splitting line, we'll ignore each other beyond this line" for gods know how long. "The Theocracies" have been playing House in the north while everyone else has pretty much been content to ignore their existence for quite some time. The ratio of Density:Income of Morek isn't an indication of anything beyond perhaps fat wallets and bored nobles.

I never claimed great friends - I simply claimed allies. In all honesty an alliance across the sea is quite meaningless due to mechanics anyway - one of the reasons we wanted part of the Isles. Morale is a bitch at that distance. Something your new toy ruler in Asylon, Willhelm, seems to fail to understand yet continues to blather on about non-existent requests for support when they were fighting in the north. A) there were never requests made from Grimrog, at least not since Seoras stepped down as ruler B) morale alone by the time Lurian forces reached them would have caused massive desertion.

Despite a lack of a 'rosy relationship' between the realms, there was little (ie none) effort made to simply ask for land. Only demands, and not even from Barca - only on their behalf. If we really want to talk about "ruler filtered" information, perhaps your puppet Mathias could shed some light in that department. From the quoted inter-league letters he was quite adept at omitting or paraphrasing correspondence between Luria and the league. I lol'd more than once at his paraphrased, or selective quotes to take things out of context, that he sent to D'Hara as a whole. Funnily enough, many of the letter he did that to, were not sent only to him.

The IC hypocrisy is fine IC - It does, however, go a long way to explains a fair bit of irritation, rage, and head-desking from those involved IC. There are a few people that are taking it a bit personally though, and I'm not sure if that's making this more entertaining or not.

I respect the "nuke the world" mentality from a player's perspective, however IC it is the sheer level of hypocrisy that is mind boggling and that's where this war is most infuriating - because it certainly isn't the war itself.

As a player, I don't really care how this war turns out, because lulz and fun are being had. Besides, unlike many of the realms who have sat with stagnant regions for the EXACT REASON THIS EVENT HAPPENED, Luria has never had a shortage of nobles for their regions so this has given people more reason to interact and not be a lazy and useless sod in order to GET a lordship - not simply get one because empty regions exist in the realm. RP has been plentiful and fun.

While some people might be content to bring everyone under the thumb of SA - nuts to that on principle of boredom. While there may be a great deal of whining about Luria's attitude in the past, someone has to play the "bad guy" on this Island. No one else was starting wars in the East, especially since Luria HELPED kill off Aurvandil and since Corsanctum bowed to Morek. Without war, this game is boring.

Everyone else? Pretty much only D'Hara since i've been playing. To be fair, before the event started a great deal of effort was made to piss away claims to the isles and declare a peace with D'Hara and Luria - then the event started and that peace turned into demands from the newly formed league and Barca, an ally of Luria's prior to the last war with D'Hara (and still considered to be an ally by many outside of that war) suddenly showed up in Luria's regions and declared war. During peace negotiations - yet Luria is the only one pointed at being guilty of using Peace Talks as a tactic to hide attacks? Funny

Morek's 'incident' of backstab was one event done in an effort to assist an ally, namely Asylon, during a war. One attack and wardec that lasted roughly a week and was brushed away faster than it started. Hardly the horrific accounts that they claim them to be. I was there, it took us longer to get there an leave than the fight and declaration lasted.

Funny how you refer to the 'leadership filter' when D'hara and the rest of the League are grossly guilty of employing that filter since the beginning of this war. Not to beat the dead horse of shared letters from within, but when confronted with the blatant lies - mysterious silence was the answer.

Sit in the middle, wait for us to kill each other and giggle-stomp the rest? I dunno.

This whole thing is ridiculous on principle, the sheer levels of inane IC reasoning for some of the realms involved are asinine. Morek sits with 22 nobles and 35 regions, yet Luria is touted as "the largest and most dangerous realm to Dwilight" so Luria has to cough up land to support Barca - why can't Morek? Not like they're using 1/3 of their regions anyway.

Fissoa's nobles are getting bored

D'Hara is relagated to Bodyguard duty

Barca is dead in the water

Asylon and Astrum are in a religious pissing contest as usual

And despite the most vocal factor of Luria's last war declaration on Morek currently being the Pariah of basically -every- realm in Dwilight (Jonsu) not being here, Eviera refuses to entertain renegotiation of any deal, clings to events older than most of the playerbase as casus belli for their new wardec, and acts like they're any more innocent than any realm involved in this Island-wide war.

So, not to echo the old complaints of Chenier when the consolidation event started - But players have taken to only doing what is best for them, not the story of the game. However since we are playing a game called BATTLEmaster, the island-wide war is entertaining in its own right. I'm enjoying it because of the lulz. The infuriating amount of BS from the playerbase not withstanding of course...

1) will you be able to transfer realms once started
2) will there be increased gold income and RC recruitment?
3) is there a time limit and/or end game point IE all of 1 realm's regions are captured
