Predictions of the EC Wars

[Galvez]

A friendly match means nothing! Only FIFA world cup matters

Unless Ibladesh funds SoA, more nobles mean nothing. Sirion held off for this long b/c they had dedicated nobles who were well funded. Now that Fontan lost most of her duchies, Fontan cannot build up an army large enough to fight Sirion. SoA isn't much of a challenge once Fontan dies unless Westmoor kicks in.

I shall not drop that ball any more. Everyone instantly starts chatting about soccer.. anyone seen the Netherlands - Hungary? 5 - 3..   

But now serious, SoA has enough resources so we would benefit from more nobles. And Westmoor has already kicked in. If that will be enough is the question.

On the other side of the island, a quote that fits Ibladesh: "Winning! Duh.." - Charlie Sheen

Do you mean "kicked in" or "kicked the bucket"? 

[Zakilevo]

more like kicked lol

Hmm SoA only has two duchies. Will they be enough to support Fontanese nobles once they move to SoA like what nobles of OR did?.

[DoctorHarte]

Fontan isn't lost yet. Who nows what could happen 

[Zakilevo]

Unless a miracle happens Fontan will die

I've seen enough miracles in this game to steeple my fingers and wait and watch.  I wouldn't lay odds that they'll live, but no one would have laid odds that Arcaea would have survived any number of times in the past few years.

[Indirik]

Fontan could easily live, if they accept reasonable surrender terms. Reasonable, that is, as seen from the viewpoint of those who won the war. (Protip for Fontan: that's not you.) It is very possible that if those in power continue to refuse to surrender, that someone will eventually rebel, win, and then surrender. That's just two of the ways Fontan could end up living.

Their current group is pretty degenerate though, which is sad. I remember the days in 2007 and 2008 when we were actually pushing into Sirion. And then we fell apart oh well.

[Zakilevo]

Fontan was indeed powerful back in the days. Cannot even compare Ibladesh with Fontan of old. Very dark days for Sirion.

It was surprising how a realm as strong as Fontan could fall apart like that.

[Sacha]

They fell into the same trap as many republics/democracies before them: Letting the wrong people grab positions they weren't cut out for, and failing to remove them.

[Zakilevo]

That is the problem with republics and democracies. The best liar gets to be the boss.

Exactly. Their General and military is horrible! If they had the minds and eyes of Ibladesh's wwar council, they would be in Avamar by now. I mean we are crushing Perdan and Caligus with our armies at the same time. With a little help from DoA, but mostly just us!

And the Ibby War Council is also delusional. Which is quite acceptabe from a Caligan and Perdanese point of view. Crushing? Really? Might want to choose a better word matey.

Your war council is King Dobromir..... 

How many battles have you won? We've beaten you with half our military. If we put everything into it and DoA could hold off Perdan for a few weeks you'd be down Hamadan and Isadril, I can assure you that. Plus your army is very slow.. it took you days to refit then get to Bursa, then Abadan, and finally to Leibo for a little raid? Thanks for giving our armies in Moyale free range of your lands including a poorly defended capital.

[Draco Tanos]

You do realize that Caligus is also fighting on two fronts, right?  And once your north/east (Will never understand why people call the east side of the island "north") side allies fall (Fontan), You're going to have a bit more trouble.  Especially if Sirion troops enter the fray, long march or not.

There's the theory that the allies of Ibladesh will flee to said theocracy should their realms fall, but...  What then?  Will you have the gold to supply them?  The manpower to raise armies?  Honestly?  It's highly unlikely.
