VICTORY

If I'm not mistaken, Rio v. Eweil has been banished to its own thread...

The longer a discussion goes on, the odds of a Belu thread revolving around Enweil/Rio approaches 1.

Not Enweil / Rio....rather Chenier accusing Rio    ;D. I'll simply stop trying to disprove slander...if I manage to discipline myself to do this then peace should reign  8).

Note that killing Midnight was one of the most satisfying moments of BM in all my years of playing. Having that machine of destruction march ever nearer to our capital while trying to formulate a strategy that would give us a chance to survive will remain a very good memory for a long time to come. My thanks go to Tom and the devs who have made both this game and this invasion possible.

The only slander are the accusations that I made some kind of deals with the daimons, for I did not.

I did not say that Riombara did no good act, nor that it did not overall do good, but that they were the only ones to do dirty acts.

Everyone involved, please stop turning every topic into an Enweil/Chenier/IVF/Riombara/etc mudslinging contest.

Restrict that stuff to their own topics.

Moderators, you are strongly encouraged to mercilessly moderate away all those postings from now on.

Actually, no. Hvrek wanted to actively destroy Enweil against their will. Guillaume just offered reunification as a ploy to screw over the daimons, but not with the intent of sitting back. And do keep in mind that the alternative was Enweil submitting to the daimons and building one of their temples. I'm pretty sure we'd have all been better off had they accepted to merge with Fheuv'n.

Did Rio fight the daimons? Yes. Every single realm did. But Rio also sent armies against human realms. They used religion to sabotage Enweil and Fheuv'n. They sent infiltrators against Fheuv'n on multiple occasions. These was not the acts of 1 man.

No human realm, that I know of, acted against another human realm. Except for Riombara.

As for effort, Rio has a ton of cities, some of them quite big and wealthy. Fheuv'n had a crap city, and that was all. Our full military might, most of the time, was under 4000 CS. And we fought daimons every second week or so. It's not because you weren't called to help that we weren't busy fighting daimons ourselves.

What infils? And what armies? I think the one battle was basically a miscommunication if I remember right, and happened mostly because someone refused to increase relations. I don't recall any infil attacks at all. Whatever happened, it wasn't realm policy.

Also, you're forgetting how Old Grehk assaulted Vozzessdor after the daimons had already shown up. And how they tried to pull a fast one by taking Wudenkin while Fronen was sending armies south to help Enweil and Riombara.

It is official: The death of Overlord does /not/ prevent the progression of killed daimon commanders. We have a 'Darkest Hour of the South' appearing in Rueffilo, heading north. He commands Horrors with a strength of 14.000. Riombara will engage - though we only have a chance if the Horrors are exaggerating their strength as usual...

[Geronus]

And we're off to the races...

Well, you don't need to get him first time...

[Tom]

It's a gamble. You can withdraw, rebuild your army and hope to kill him in a huge battle, or engage him multiple times wearing him down. The goal doesn't change, the question is which way you'll get there faster.

[DoctorHarte]

I wish I could unpause my other character William to join in with more of the fun. Looking forward to seeing what develops out of the blighted land we manage to recover

[Zakilevo]

doubt we will recover that much at this rate...

[fodder]

ha... i think i'll miss the upcoming battle, because i had to leg it to the cash machine to pay the men. forgot to pay them early and ended up with a few gold short and 8 days unpaid after the 1st battle.

[Psyche]

At least if Riombara loses they win.  They are sitting on a skinny fortress of a realm.

Would've been nicer to have Fwuvoghor in that realm though.
