What happen if I drop my unit with more than 50% damage?

Unique Item Offered (2 days, 11 hours ago)
You are being offered the opportunity to buy a unique item, a weapon called the "Nightblade of Suffering". Alexander Canus, Count of Taishan is willing to part with it for only 0 gold.
If you want to accept, you can do it only here and now, while both of you are still in this location. The deal will take an hour of your time.

I have the sword. Is at 29%.
I am resting before starting to find a Sage.

Lady,
Where are you? I am in Mimiravair now. No sign of sages and very, very few adventurers. The hunting must be excellent around here... too bad we must find those pesky sages!
I will head towards Mamaroneck and then into Shomrak. If you are in Aegir, can you move through Nimh, Cailyn and we'll meet near Caiyun? The roads aren't too bad in the plains.

Nimh, Cailyn and we'll meet near Caiyun.
Sounds like a good plan, or, we can go back to Astrum where the Sages seems to be having a convention.

Well, well, this was a lucky day.
I am at Nimh and look what I could afford to do.
(Meet with Hatisusk... - the gaunt Sage) He is still here.
The sage takes your Ceremonial Dagger and vanishes into his workshop, or whatever it is he is hiding back there.
After a while, he emerges and your Nightblade of Suffering has been repaired. Its new condition is 73 %.
The sage leaves while you still shuffle around in your belongings. You also feel strangely tired.

Nice! I am in Mamaroneck now, but very exhausted from my travels. I'll make my way there.
I have 3 ceremonial daggers so if you need another one or two I'll trade you when we meet up.

I fell like dancing all night.
The Sword is repaired.
All done.
Isn't good news?

Whoops. Sorry about the delay re: strategychat. I'm on a train at the moment and will probably fall asleep shortly, so I'll pick the rest of this up tomorrow morning. For now, it will suffice to say that when the war started, Thalmarkin was low on gold, recruits, and lacking sound infrastructure. So it was decided pretty much immediately after Enzo took over that we'd systematically deprive Melhed of food, gold, and stability everywhere we could. Having more nobles but crappier RCs than your enemy works fine for a looting war. The longer the war went on, the stronger Thal got. If you continually loot someone and they don't devise a strategy to stop it or repair the damage quickly, the stress compounds and the gap between the two realms keeps growing. It's a tough hole to dig out from.
We used Qual and Lastfell—and their militia garrisons—as third and forth armies, respectively. Having equal mobile CS early on meant that 4K militia behind walls in either of those regions freed up 4K extra mobile CS to... You guessed it: loot. It also meant we could spare an extra 4K CS to join the 3-4K CS in the monster hunting army when Melhed started raiding in the north.
In general, I tried to ensure that there was always an active rotation of refitters and folks at the front. I loathe the battle-refit-battle-refit cycle that everyone falls into. It's hard not to, but if you can avoid it, you put your enemy under constant pressure. Mistakes get amplified. More opportunities can be exploited.
