Evora would have been lost anyway, it was just a matter of time as it's easier to reach from the North than from the South.

The North has organised its offensives well for several months whilst the South has been bickering amongst itself and alienated the peasantry too much to have stable control along the front lines. An alliance divided loses its ability to respond effectively.

Well, yea, that's what I said. ;)

The worst thing that made it impossible for the South to advance and take over Northern realms wasn't the Northern army BTW.

It was the peasant armies that showed up in hateful regions that wiped out any small force we sent anywhere.  And needing to organize a 10k army to "raid" enemy regions or hold conquered regions is an exercise in futility.

That is what stalled the Southern offensive.

Yea the stupid peasant mobs of Viseu sprung the offensive into Eponllyn. Because they hadn't done their ambassador shennanigans there yet.  ;D

I like how you Northerners collected like six armies in Winkamus. I wanna make a meme out of it. Maybe the Blue Rajah from "Mystery Men" and how you all travel in gangs like little babies. Yeah. I'ma do that ;)

What? Minas Nova and Alara stabbed their allies in the back at the first chance they got, then began to fall apart? Color me shocked... SHOCKED.

In few words, because the portal event gave walls to a bunch of regions that never should have had any.

So wait, what's going on in Alara?

Death and decay?

I think Alara did a peace referendum or something with the whole Perleone war and Robb didn't really accept it so he left for Vix.
