Enweil continued to fight despite a army that was no stronger than yours, I shall let you know, it's inevitable when all of our cities got smashed repeatedly (when they didn't revolt completely) and our armies were being destroyed on an almost daily basis.

Enweil was one of the first to start negotiating with the inhumans, even I was surprised that only about 5-6 day after the monsters had appeared, they had made a deal with the monsters, siccing them on Riombara and DoA. Of course later there was the alliance with the daimons, and threatening to invade the Light temple of Creasur (probably would have too, if Marta hadn't decided to leave).

To make the argument that what MR/Sint/whatver did was wrong, the entity condemning them must be able to stand on some moral ground. Enweil however, can hardly do so without being hypocritical given their past.

Remember that after MR left they took with them most of our nobles and 80% of our remaining income. I think you vastly overestimate Riombara's ability to have an impact after that point. After MR left, every region remaining to us (all four of them) except for Grehk was completely devastated, so we were pretty much running off the income of that one city and trying to feed it with depopulated rurals.

So yeah, we took a break. At that point the monsters had already moved on to attacking Enweil, and were just keeping one monster commander around to step on us every time we tried to leave Grehk. It was literally pointless to keep trying to fight under those conditions, so we accepted the cease fire. Then we rebuilt and picked off regions that went rebelled from monster rule, and eventually we went back to war once a little of our strength was back. Expecting us to have been able to attack MR at any point during the invasion demonstrates your ignorance of the conditions we faced. We were noticably weaker, never mind the fact that they were allied with the monsters. MR probably could have destroyed us without any help from them at all had we pushed them into doing so.

Wisdom was quite eager to smash Rio to the floor after MR was formed. It was MR who convinced the monsters to attack Avalon instead.  Mordred insisted to Wisdom that the north be struck, and the brethren of MR in Rio be left alone. So in a way (though unforeseen to me at the time), it was MR that bought Rio the time it needed to  survive the invasion. The end (survival) was reached through debatable means, exactly what MR was formed to do. Pity it had to die, it was great fun.

It started as Ohnar West and Arcaea vs Arcachon, but soon grew to Arcachon, Greater Aenilia, PoZ, Cathay (against C'thonia), Kindara vs Arcaea, C'Thonia and Ohnar West (which may withdraw thanks to the beating Arcachon has given it).

Greetings,

I would like to contribute as a tester. Been playing since April '07. I tested the War Islands and the Dream, and it seems to me like this is a great way to pay the game back for hours (days? weeks? months?) of amusement, especially since I cannot donate.

Looks like things are turning out more or less evenly stacked for both sides. Should be fun 

Still waiting for Ohnar retaliation to our northern foray

I think Indirik said something like this a few pages ago. Why not post the evidence that led the Titans to make their decision to the forum? Include any dialogue they(titans) may have had together. Preserves the anonymity of the person who complained and titans. Then the community has the opportunity to see for themselves that the decision taken was the fairest and best.

So, is anyone else excited about the prospect of the possible new war breaking out?

Who? When? Where? Why?

Ciann doesn't even get a scheming group?  You bat 2 for 2 in deposing and still don't get respect?  *sighs*

Well, Ciann is rather fluid You can never tell which side shes on.

(grins) And as soon as the nobles in Arcachon get over the idea that losing is terrible, we can get right on with that exporting.  All I ask is for someone to let Arcaea get enough sympathy in Enlod to colonize, then we can end this whole thing...

Losing isn't terrible, but that doesn't mean they wont do their nut to prevent the worst from happening to their realm.

Yes, the oh-so-secret scheming with Aenilia.  Here's me hoping that bites Aenilia in the ass as hard as I think it will.

Nope, I speak of internal scheming. There is the Vanimedle/ Godwin group, the Lawson/DeRouen group, and then there's us

Now, if I could just suborn one Priest of Adghar to get the sympathy in Enlod up just enough for us to start a CTO, this war would be over...

Would be difficult.
Takes a quick look at priest numbers
Unless you convince Ryeena herself, of course

Oh, indeed.  Though you stubborn fools won't just roll over and let Enlod be colonized, so it'll take a couple of months before I can start any other wars 

A lot of months 

I am now awaiting the outcomes of the scheming of Ryeena and DeRouen. Things should get spicy in Arcachon now that it seems Farnese wont be Legate, and Ortesia has competition for the Judgeship.

Could go either way. Joseph was in support of the war from the beginning. Galiard was favoring dropping out, considering OW's obligations in the war to be done. Not sure which way Joseph will go with it.

Surely Joseph has better things to do, better to watch Arcaea struggle to do it alone. Besides, its not like Ohnar can have much fun on the Isle, thanks to that silly Order of the Hawk agreement...

Its BattleMaster! Why do we have realms threatening others with war if they get into war?!

Case in point is Cathay, which has declared that it will attack either Arcaea or Greater Aenilia if either one goes to war with the other. If Cathay nobles wants to get bored training in their capital, so be it, but dont keep other realms from going to war.

I say Arcaea and Greater Aenilia should group together and destroy Cathay, and let us in Arcachon battle those Ohnarians alone.
