Ah the sweet taste of victory. Good game moot. Now lets be FWENDS!

Yeah...

There's gonna be some hardcore anti-SA bitterness in Terran after this I think. See "Stab-in-the-Back Myth" for more details.

No, no! Come to D'Hara! We have gold and food need and gold and food need! Who wants some shiny toythings when you have those?

Now seriously, that's no good. The only military competent member of the 'Moot is being roflstomped. D'Hara, watch your ass from now onwards...

Well, you shot yourself in the foot the way it was handled. My character still doesn't even know that Aurvandil attacked your capital, let alone that it's almost rogue. Hell, I don't think I even heard, IC, about Aurvandil's landing in Larur.

Come to think of it, neither does MY character... :-\

Terran does good at getting allies, it does bad at communicating with allies though. That is their diplomatic downfall. They need to convey their need for aid, instead of just assume it is expected.

Indeed.
The adherents of different religions in a realm should compete for power, influence, and fresh converts. They don't even have to be killing each other to do so. I wish people promoted the prosperity of their religions the same way they promoted the growth and prosperity of their realms. - Geronus

They were in Chesland before we knew they had landed, because the lord of the region they landed in (surprise!) was an Aurvandil/Asylon spy.

Oh, and the founder of the Anti-Aurvandil Alliance. Hip-hip, hoorah!

Honestly, even if we'd notified you as soon as we heard rumors of a naval assault, you never could have arrived in time. Aurvandil moves quickly and in great force.

This is basically why Kale didn't bring it up to anyone: he just previously sent out urgent "Come to our aid against Asylon!" and when we learned Aurvandil was coming (only a few days prior to their landing) it was way to late to get help and any aid that did come would arrive weeks after they were sitting back at home in Aurvandil.


EDIT: Also, funny thing is everyone in Terran is pretty apathetic to it all...

The thing is that you don't sound so apathetic on the forums. But if no one knows in-game....
After all it's a roleplaying game.

My char knew Aurvandil was comming, and I am pretty sure he told several Terranese nobles, in his "strange" attempt to save lives.

We just got a huge battle rumor, no? But indeed, I didn't know they were about to strike either...

I so badly want to say " I told you all so" but I'll hold my tongue...

You do realize that saying "I really want to say X, but won't say it", is, in fact, saying X. And Asylon had little to do with it, Aurvandil was plenty able to do it on their own.

Honestly, even if we'd notified you as soon as we heard rumors of a naval assault, you never could have arrived in time. Aurvandil moves quickly and in great force.

Well... I often see that message in various places, and never report it, because thus far, 100% of the time it has been a realm-mate (with or without units) or an ally. If the message was truly reserved for enemies, people would take more heed to it...

Its called a sense of humour...

And ok I have noticed this a few times in this thread and its funny but you guys belittle Asylons part in the war. I have also noticed that the hatred for Asylon lately has hilariously outstripped Aurvandiils. Does it matter? No, because after all is said and done Asylon survived and outlasted the Moot even though it was isolated and strategically inferior and without a massive alliance. And is still snubbing their nose at the entire world. Even if we are beaten to a pulp tommorow everyone in Asylons can still hold their head up proud for putting on agood show, bravery and just straight up balls to the wall cocky strategy. Perhaps the Moot won the diplomacy war and the popularity contest of Dwilight, big deal. Asylon won its own contest, with itself against the world in a kingdom that wasnt supposed to survive its founding. We are proud of being Asylon. And we will take that spirit everywhere we go. And funny enough we aren't even done yet.
