Love how Aurvandil was all like "we like small independant players, and Falkirk's totally independant", and now they are going to war with D'Hara and Fissoa because of Falkirk and are allying with the most imperialistic realm of all, not to mention the new top realm: Luria Nova.

As for those saying Aurvandil is crippled... the stats page show no significant change as far as characters and active characters go. Military strength waned, sure, but they had waned to even lower levels in January, and are already bouncing back up. So nope. Still there, still strong, still taking advantage of their illegitimate might to continue pressing on the neighboring realms they used their illegitimate might to cripple in the first place. Only difference is that they are siding with more unscrupulous people now.

A 33% drop in military strength is no laughing matter.  Considering that more than a few of the characters that were locked and later auto paused automatically dropped their units as militia when they did that.   Also, those accounts that were locked haven't been deleted yet so they won't show up on the Aurvandil stats.  From first glance it looks like they have about 4 fairly new accounts in Aurvandil and not all of the nobles have that followed Allison have made their exodus.  Also, it may take some time for all the extra gold that was funneled into the realm to run out.

How many capital sacks will they get to do before this happens, I wonder?

Actually none, as most of the gold is gone since it was mostly gold and not bonds during autopause, I believe. Its cheaper to maintain an army than it is to recruit an army.

Wait... Niselur's first target is D'hara?!? I know our deposed King went there, but do we really need his corpse or something to ensure Leopold's rule?

Yay, I love it when the shadows of the past arrive for vengeance. Fun times!

So is it about time to close this part of Dwili history? I mean, I don't see any more offensive heading towards Aurvandil any time soon. I'm actually surprised the new Prince_Regent hasn't gone about signing cease-fires and peace treaties yet.

I agree. This war is over. I'm going to lock the thread and I'll open it up again if any new developments happen.
