A good infiltrator sticking a knife in them works wonders.

East Island / Re: East Continent Concerns About Xavax and Perdan
« on: May 28, 2016, 05:30:21 PM »
Also our intent with Alara at the start of the war wasn't one of annexation but punishment. Many nobles took the insults thrown at them (generally) and Selenia (specifically) to heart, which led to the decision to go to war with them, their continued taunting afterward led to the goal to become being rid of them. Their use of odious looting methods (rape, genocide) only strengthened that sentiment. We've never had great ambitions toward Minas Novan or Perleone regions, our intent was driving them out of the war, until Minas decided to declare Hatred and employ the same looting methods led to our mutual Hatred and the decision to drive their holdings rogue (letting Stegman stay there didn't help) and leave them largely as such (who wants to be the Lord of a dirty little town or it's stick farmers anyway ). Perleone had long been a non-factor in the war, a few poorly planned raids into Oc Lu Pesh and their general taking the long way around to join the raiding. We had no particular plans for their regions. We're hardly the empire builders we're being made out to be.

If Xavax plays smart they will come off with more regions than they had before the war.
That's not what I heard from sympathizers in Perdan...

« on: May 27, 2016, 01:20:35 AM »caligus is going to let perdan/vix do their dirty work for them. they obviously abandoned their allies to pursue an easier war.
at most they will wait til the dust settles to attack fallangard, which i think is the biggest shame of the situation. edvard allowing his realm to be chained to the sinking ship of xavax.
Man, you've been double dosing on the salt since losing that rebellion. Life over in Perdan not everything you'd hoped it would be?
Also, don't count your chicks before they're hatched, Xavax hasn't played all it's hand against Alara and co., let alone Perdan/Vix. We've more surprises up our sleeves, though we might wait for the newcomers to do something more serious than bothering my peasants.

« on: May 26, 2016, 03:07:54 PM »Yeah, you managed to suck up all of Alara's lands except their capital while Alara/Minas Nova/Perleone were warring you. That sounds like an even war alright..
Perspectives
Alara's capital having nearly as high a pop and the entire realm of Xavax, all our regions put together, not even considering the support of Minas Nova and Perleone are supplying, yeah perspectives.
it's not like we snuck in and attacked them without warning and stripped them of said land, they had plenty of time to reinforce their positions and should have had way more income to have done so with. Pardon me if I don't shed a tear for their poor administration not sharing the wealth. What they need is leadership, not extra help piling in.

Wars under the feudal obligation system were very different than wars during and after the formation of nationalism, both in size and purpose. With the death of monarchy as the primary form of government, so to died the casus belli of blood claims. Not to mention the creation and adoption of programs like levée en masse compared to medieval levies, which allowed the creation of the Grande Armée, which changed how everyone viewed war. Shieet, now you got me doing it.

JeVondair, please remember that we have a wide variety of players from all types and age groups, that includes vets and those who lost loved ones who might see the comparison insulting. Also, while the game has simulator-like qualities, warfare and politics during the medieval period that this game seeks to emulate and modern times are very different things, so different that comparison is unwarranted.
And I'm not just saying that because I disagree with the comparison. Let's play nice everyone.

If Perdan wanted to join in on Xavax's side they could swallow everything west of Semall without much resistance, we certainly wouldn't care.

Perdan hasn't declared anything (yet) and we're at peace with Caligus (for the moment). We're at war with Alara, Minas Nova, Perleone, and now Vix Tiramora is throwing in. We're in a Federation with Fallangard (who hasn't really seen any action due to the wishes of JeVondair). We'll see if Caligus or Perdan decide to get involved, and which side they throw in on, but the current political situation doesn't look good for Xavax getting any outside help.

Yes, it may be 28 vs. 19 (Fallangard is functionally involved in name only), but we have outside influences keeping us from just sweeping Perleone, crushing Semall, and burning the Black City. You really think Itorunt is maintaining 10k CS militia, a raiding party, AND staving off starvation, with only the city, without outside aid of some sort? If it were simply 3 vs. 1 it'd be over already. :p

« on: May 19, 2016, 09:43:45 AM »Dear Xavax,
I may be getting you all in trouble in the rulers channel...and I am not the least bit ashamed.
So what's new? It going to be six vs. two now? 2 vs. the whole damn island? Bunch of insecure whiny bedwetters getting their knickers in a twist over a war hundreds, maybe even thousands, of miles from their nearest border. Just leave us alone and let us tread in the skulls of these inbred goat fiddlers already! We're doing you a favor here, cleaning up East Island's gene pool.
Seriously, if you just let us fight our 3 vs. 1.5 war to completion you'll find we make good neighbors, if these last three had just left us alone and kept their nose out of our business I have little doubt we would be three rebellions in by now.

« on: May 19, 2016, 02:31:42 AM »This + the reactions before kinda confirm what I wrote before doesn't it?
Also, saying that you haven't seen so much propaganda before yet doesn't mean it doesn't exists (tbh I haven't seen any realm propaganda by Xavax in game yet). Although the Isolationist is a interesting and very strange concept, but we'll see what comes of it I suppose.
But so far I've seen little to contradict my summary of what could easily happen and what dangers there could be hidden in those scenarios.
We have no interest in Minas Nova's regions other than they're controlled by Minas Nova, nor Perleone beyond the fact that they butted into our affairs and launched a few unsuccessful raids on Oc Lu Pesh and been helping keep the other two alive. For all we care, once Minas is gone, thier regions and their "dirty little town with delusions of grandeur" can sit rogue and breed monsters, and Perleone can see itself right out of our business at any time (if that requires bloodying their nose to get the point across, so be it). If anything, Vix's recent threat has drawn a big target on them, we'll want to secure our northern border in case Vix wants to get involved now... You see, we have no interest in blobbing up into some sort of Southern Superpower, we're too busy plotting against each other in our own court to care about the trivialities of outside politics.

With myself or one of the other "insider" noble types pushing or pulling one way or another to influence things for their own amusement/profit, that seems pretty much spot on. :p
