Winning! versus a small skirmish agianst morek. Bring it morek i'm ready and willing!

[SeaBee]

I'm still just kind of disappointed in Morek's leaders for the pointless lies and attempts at subterfuge, but that's because I had thought they were trying to roleplay a relatively honorable realm. I know better now

Pretty sure this attack was either a feint or a repeat of the last assault against Nifel, where they split their army's attack over two turns on accident. At least I hope it was on accident, because that was a disaster for them.

Nice to get one more victory in there, anyway. Feelsgoodman.jpg

Grats. How much CS involved? I only see the numbers of men.

I'm surprised Morek moved before Libero could join them. I hope they learnt their lesson. Castles are real bastards to storm. In Storm's Keep, we had over twice the numbers and barely managed a victory. And cavalry is pointless. It just stands outside the gates, soaking up arrows.

[Trollheiming]

For all Summerdale's flaws, I think a lot of people will miss us if the peninsula stagnates again.

I think it's a case of stone soup, actually. Summerdale was just the average realm until 30 nobles from DF flooded into it. Summerdale was great because it had such a high concetration of Bay12ers. The old vets of Summerdale, except Andira who is awesome, are pretty low on roleplay and were ironically some of the first to panic and flee to other realms. It shows the fortitude of DF players that you're all still there, when Duchess Amalie "old as Summerdale itself" Everland ran to Astrum at the first sign of crisis.

Have you learned nothing about us Bay Watchers? "Losing is fun "
To be honest though, it did piss me off that so many old nobles left. We could really have used their help :/

Grats. How much CS involved? I only see the numbers of men.

Morek vs Summerdale
Total combat strengths: 4575 vs. 14065

I'm still a bit miffed about that whole thing. So many old veterans flipping all those regions to Astrum really broke us. All that farmland, all those awesome Bay 12 nobles ...

Andira has definitely been awesome throughout. Half of the "old guard" of Summerdale wouldn't even reply in the same week, but she made a point of always interacting and helping us figure things out. People like her make the game a lot more interesting and much more fun to play. In the end, it really is something of a political letter simulator. When no one RPs or sends letters, it gets stale fast.

Cavalry in the attacking force is definitely hilarious during a siege. Pretty expensive pincushion if you ask me. No one ever thinks of those poor horses.

Looking forward to the next fight. Hoping to inflict some serious damage before going down in a cloud of blood and steel.

To tell you the truth, I'm suprised more bay12'ers aren't getting in on this. There's donk loads of troops waiting to be hired in the capital. I tend to think we've been under-estimated.

More nobles=more troops to be hired. Cash is available for newbies.

Join in the !fun! everyone. You'll probably start in Nifel or Nifelheim. A ring of deadly steel that menaces with spikes of awesome to make all dwarves everywhere proud. We've got the cash, the troops and the support to win this (or bloody the empires attacking us beyond compare). All we need is more nobles.

Don't be put off with introductory messages or actual roleplaying. Start in Dwilight, start in Summerdale, hire some troops and stand in Nifel. We don't put the drawbridge up. We like the enemies coming into our archer's range.

If you've ever been on the end of a hopeless undead and goblin seige (it's hard to tell which one Morek or Libero are sometimes), then give it a burl for the next week. You won't be sorry starting out a game of Battlemaster in these circumstances.

Battlemaster: It ain't boring in Summerdale right now. Losing is Fun! So is winning a hopeless seige. There ain't no tantrum spirals for people that just want to fight.

[sambojin]

Oh, and if you do join, there's exactly one standing order from anyone in Summerdale currently. Travel to Nifelheim, hire troops in Nifelheim, travel to Nifel. Then help us kill shit.

That is all. RP and introductions can happen later. We've got a fair few thousand combat strength of troops awaiting people's commands. That command is: Travel to Nifelheim. Hire troops in Nifelheim. Travel to Nifel. Kick the shit out of some pretty annoying empires. It's us against everyone. It's just like DF, except we're here to fight from the get-go. Plus we'll be able to all hire more troops the more people we kill.

It gets better and better...........

[sambojin]

Wow, triple post. I'll have to leave this thread be for a while after this.

I just have to say: There is nothing more noble than shooting the marshall of the opposing army in the nuts right after his blokes clobbered a mate of your's in your first battle in the game. Yes, that's how I'm roleplaying it.

Hehehehehe, Summerdale rocks. Sorry Helm, I was aiming for your head.

[SeaBee]

The battle is about to start. Could be the last ever for Summerdale -- I'd like everyone to bow their heads in a moment of silence for the brave men and women of the Dalian military who will soon vanish in an explosion of steel, blood, and fire. May they inflict severe damage on their way to the gods.

And please, someone wound Orris.

[Knave]

Ouch, looks like it was a very close battle... I think?

unfortunately Corwin took a near-fatal wound and doesn't know what's going on.

[SeaBee]

At the end, it was like 3 units fighting each other with stones.

Lots of wounded on both sides. I think it's safe to say that Morek paid a heavy price for their victory. But now I'm in prison, so it's all over for me.

[Knave]

Damn,

I took no less than 3 separate wounds, the third one putting me down for good. I can't even get my men to escape to the capital. I imagine I'll be picked up by patrols and arrested sometime soon.

[SeaBee]

Wish I could see what is happening. I wanted to read the post-battle RP, but it looks like half on both sides are wounded anyway so I'm probably not going to miss too much.

Now for a loooong, boring time in prison.

[Ehndras]

Hmm, Anyone here in Bellua?

I'm starting that priest character and implementing my religion, since the forumites seemed very excited about the idea.

Time to start a bit of hell in Bellua. Not sure where to go, though. I'll emigrate as soon as I find a Bay12er on Bellua I can board with.
