Yup...
That was the error that Cagil made that turned Minas Leon favorable towards toward Tara. That and some of my messages and notes that I was looking to find a way to return Shanandoah to Minas Leon. But as he said talk is easy and actions are hard.
And we aren't going to get a chance to see what happens there now. But one way or another, whether through secession from Tara or as a gift to Minas Leon, I was pretty much decided that that city would leave Tara in the future. Just didn't know how...
I actually had very few hard plans. I had a basic idea I wanted to see but I didn't trust anybody enough to tell them what it was because I didn't know who would betray me. And Tara was too weak to survive something like that.
So I took the dual strategies of breaking up other alliances while sending Taran troops into Minas Leon as practice. Maneuver lessons. Warfare training. Not that I ever said that at the time. It would have been an insult even worse than what I'd already given Minas Leon. But Tara needed the practice. We could barely field a 6k army when I became Tyrant. So I practiced the army and then we...well...
The last year has been a wild ride...
