Well, I could always go behind Brance' back and try to raise an army of my own. Kind of like you did to help Virovene back in the day. Heh.

I did? I don't remember that. Unless you mean the time or two the Warders of the Island Citadel went over to fight some monsters. I guess I didn't really consider that "Behind anyone's back", though.

However, we *are* allied with Kabrinskia. And Astrum has never really claimed tight control over all of our noble's actions. They are generally free to come and go wherever and whenever they please, so long as we're not at war. If a few nobles of Astrum decided to vacation in he south of Kabrinskia, who am I to tell them not to?  It's allied land, and Kabrinskia never asked us not to do so. ;)

I was talking to dustole, actually. Remember when Allison lead an army of 'volunteers' from Morek to support Virovene against Springdale (think waaaaaaaaay back)? I seem to remember that the official position of the government of Morek was peace with Springdale and that Allison was said to be acting on her own.

And don't go giving me ideas... I might actually do this.

lol, with refit times in the 2-3 week range, Barca is not going to radically tip the scales.

The big strategic questions in this war will be:
1. Asylon's response time to invasions of Terran
2. Relative strategic cleverness and activity of Kabrinskia and Terran
3. Whether or not Terran can starve out Kabrinskia faster than Kabrinskia can impoverish Terran

So far, Kabrinskia is winning on all three categories. We'll see in the long run though.

Tarran will not starve out Kabrinskia we are self supporting at this time.....

Are you sure? I'm quite sure Cato and Allison hated each other. Wasn't Cato rped as being murdered by one of her assassins?

You think Allison helps people because she likes them?  :o

I remember that, although I think it was actually the Warders of the Temple and not Allison personally. This was when Morek and Springdale were the real powerhouses and Astrum a small easily forgettable colony. Good times.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

Tarran will not starve out Kabrinskia we are self supporting at this time.....

And what are your two biggest food producers?

Mech Alb and Demyansk.

And what regions are easiest for Terran to attack?

Mech Alb and Demyansk.

And what is food supply dependent upon?

Production in rural regions.

And how quickly does production recover?

Fairly slowly, unless you devote soldiers to it (so take them away from looting someone else).

And how big is Golden Farrow's population?

64,000.

And how big will Golden Farrow get if you keep feeding it?

Much bigger.

As far as food is concerned, Terran has the leg up, though of course Kabrinskia can trade with Morek and whatnot.

And Iashalur; we'll be up to our necks swimming in food until Darfix gets big again.  As soon as Eoghan gets reappointed Lord Jorradith (stupid prison taking my stupid titles) I'll be contacting a few rulers, since Qadan has never got back to me about brokering a deal.

I think that will really make a great difference in Kabrinskia's ability to feed itself. I doubt the Realm will have any significant problems feeding itself at any point in time due the fact it can trade easily with the other Theocratic Realms to cover any deficits.

Food is the least of their problems. Assuming they are willing to ask.

I dont need to ask for food.  I put up buy offers and Lords of Astrum fill them before my lords can.  I think this refit for both Terran and Kabrknskia will be a good indicator of how this war will go.

They are clearly starting to think too much. Start burning the witches that cursed them with political opinions!

Man, I really hate that code. Barca finally gets its first war, and the game tells it "Oh, maybe you shouldn't do that". It goes against everything we've been pushing for for as long as I can remember.
