Aurvandil's War Machine

[Vellos]

The estimate is very good if conditions in the region don't change much. Most people understand the warning it gives and invest in regions away from battles, etc. - i.e. in stable regions. Which means the estimate will be very near.

Yeah, that's more-or-less what I expected.

[DoctorHarte]

To sum it up, yes you get a higher return profit by investing below 100% production.

You have now invested 290 gold in this region, boosting production by 80 % to 168 %. Your advisors hope for a return of ca. 390 gold, if everything works well.
To ensure that your investment pays off, you should try to keep morale and realm control high and prevent enemies from looting. With its boosted production, Sasrhas is sure to be a prime target.

Your continual performances have finally paid off. Your prestige rises one point.

[Vellos]

Interesting... would not have expected that.

Some of that positive return may be due to the urban effect we noted earlier, but that does seem an unusually high return.

I skip to the last few pages expecting epic discussions on Aurvandilian might, instead, I get boring discussions on the viability of investments.


I am disappoint.

[Penchant]

Well from what I have read part of aurvandil's success is that it has done lots of investments to increase economy I beleive for it to pay for troops, rcs, and fortifications.

[GoldPanda]

Here is the horrible truth: Economics win wars, not heroics on the battlefield. This is even true in BattleMaster. No realm ever surrendered because the enemy was simply too awesome during that last battle. They surrendered because they could not field another army afterward.

[Foundation]

Hehehe, too true, too true.

[Zakilevo]

Politic, Economy, and Military. Can't separate those three.

[Velax]

Hah, but it would be very cool.

[DoctorHarte]

Aurvandil update? We're in Madina City looting it to the ground. The walls are at 62% (Palisade) and we've looted all their tax gold/food. Madina is surely done and something new will rise from their land :)

[Foundation]

Hmm, so much easier to get gold from looting. :P

Indeed, I got more gold from looting than my tax share in Candiels  8) Madina would have had a better chance against us if they had made their last stand in the city rather than Madina Gardens. We had nearly twice their forces and they chose the Palisade versus the Fortress they had right behind them.

Probably wanted to protect their food supply or something...of course, I would be happy to sell them food...at 60 gold per 100 bushels. Fair's fair.

[Indirik]

It is really hard to have any sympathy for Madina.

[Gustav Kuriga]

I find it hard to have sympathy for either side...
