I was surprised no one did, since he was moving pretty obviously through Terran lands.

Slight revision to FangFang's itinerary. He actually went: Vassar (where FangFang watched Tampico fight the monsters, twice) > Shoka > Inklen (fought a battle there by itself against a monster pack) > Barrow Peaks.

ZumaGM apologizes for the prior error. MaleMaldives' post jogged their memory, prompting them to go back and check their messages. Regardless, there was no teleporting or flying of rivers, and FangFang still had his whole 8K CS daimon unit the entire time.

Surprising that no one spotted FangFang until he made it to Shuberstone.

Very weird. A battle in Inklen?

No battle report was received by Terran; don't you usually get reports of battles fought within your land?

Check reports from 13 days ago.

And if none exists, then apparently you don't get the report if it's a foreign force against (rogue)

Yeah, I just checked through all of'em. No report. And I guess Tampico did get a report, but Shoka and Inklen still claim otherwise. Maybe it's because the movement wasn't from an external border or because we weren't technically at war or something.

Very curious.

You only get reports of battles that occur in a region in which one of your nobles is. If you have a noble in the region, even if that noble does not take part in the battle, even if they have no troops, then the realm gets informed of the battle. No nobles in the region? Then no battle notification. That includes regions within your own realm. Granted, this is not something that happens all that often.

Hm; interested. I would have assumed we would get a report. Well, now I know what happens when you assume...

The region reports may say something like "War, looting or unrest makes the peasants unhappy". But that may or may not be implemented in the new region reports. You also may or may not get the "The presence of daimons terrifies the population" message. Not sure if the daimons were stopped long enough to cause it to happen, or if there were enough daimons to make it happen.

Here's an observation--it was only in the second battle, in the Mountains of Betrayal, that it was an 'epic battle' that we all got notified for. The first battle in Inklen did not trigger that report.

If he didn't recruit any troops along the way, then their training/cohesion must have increased sufficiently (maybe from 7990 CS to 8010 CS) for the second report to be reported as 'epic' and give them away.

Also, they must not have taken much in the way of casualties or damage in Inklen, or they can repair damage in the field.

Didn't Annaej give away some mechanics of how monster units work?

Is there any evidence to suggest that daimon mechanics are different? (Not leading to anything here. Really just wondering what you guys think.)

It also depends on the size of the force he fought as well. If the monster group in Inklen was small enough, then the combined CS may not have been over the threshold needed for a Huge battle report.
