I really don't see how that happened as they are both pretty much fully functioning and D'Hara has been in the crapper for quite a while.

They sent us forces, which we shamelessly crushed.

And our current state is nowhere near any of their doing, it's just global food !@#$up.

Solarian military is probably the least coordinated of any army I've seen.

That's one of the most surprising things I've ever heard.

You haven't seen their army arrive in 5 waves over a land-route, then. It reminds me of Madina attacking Paisly over a sea route--but Solaria's route is shorter and Madina didn't have the "delay arrival" feature.

They're.... worse than Terran?

I didn't know that was even possible....

I guess I really bought in to the whole Solarian propaganda machine, then.

That's actually pretty funny because most of Solaria ripped on PeL OOC for a while for spreading soldiers out over two waves accidentally.

We've gotten slightly better! Still bad, but better.

I'm just proud and impressed that our last refit matched Aurvandil's refit time almost exactly. Literally we began arriving in Paisland just as they began arriving in Maeotis. Should/could we have been quicker? Yes. Would being quicker have helped and opened up several opportunities for us? Yes. But we did relatively well given the circumstances.


But yeah, hard to imagine a Lurian realm being worse than Terran. Maybe its because they just can't get themselves as motivated to fight somebody that isn't a fellow Lurian?

Yeah, it was pretty damned bad. Basically a clusterfail of communication.

So much for well laid plans. Oh well, the war continues!

Yeah, we've gotten really, really, really bad. These things happen. (un?)Fortunately, I'm so busy with work and life that it's no longer my problem! Malus stepped down today.  8)

If things go a certain way, it should pick back up. Having lost the traitors, the dissidents, and other undesirables, it's about time for everyone else to realize the gain that this kind of upheaval can make possible. All except one or two in realm are active, loyal, and none too happy with their Lurian counterparts.

From what I understand, Luria Nova feels they wasted time and money on the assault because it wasn't a decisive victory. Solaria feels they wasted the exact same things, waiting on the Novans to move out of Girich and to the front. The travel times and lack of communication shafted things, but are easily remedied now that Hrok cleaned the IWC and that things are getting shaken up.

I'm of the opinion that getting rid of what makes Luria unique is exactly what's killing it.

Nothing lasts forever.

The power struggles were what made Republic of Fwuvoghor unique, before the Lefanis banned the dissidents.

In every power struggle, you've got people who just want to win, and who will be ready to achieve it at all costs.
