You tell the Marshal to proceed with the plan and even given an assurance to lead the troops yourself!

"Shall we ask King Tinwulf to provide military help?"

A) "Nay."
B) "Aye."

[Harry Baldman]

B! Entice him with looting prospects!

[NUKE9.13]

What? No. Why would he grant us any help? If he did, it'd probably be at some ridiculous cost, just making this bad situation worse.
No, we have to go this alone. And fail. And pray the dwarves don't curse us too badly.

If we get cursed by the dwarves, we'll ask the Elves for help. They might be good for that.

[Imic]

We're doomed. We are complete idiots. We are actually sieging a mountain. This is the stupidest thing since we declared war in the last few years of Luathbas.

Yeah, let's do this alone.

[NUKE9.13]

We're doomed. We are complete idiots. We are actually sieging a mountain. This is the stupidest thing since we declared war in the last few years of Luathbas.

It's not a mountain, its a city. I doubt even the dwarves could just magic a mountain into existence in the middle of Luathbas.
I mean, obviously we are still doomed to fail. Which is why I suggest retreating once we've lost a battle or two- enough that the elves can't complain (much), whilst not wiping out our entire army.
I certainly don't think that this is a dynasty-ending mistake. One way or another we will muddle through. And who knows, those capes might prove useful someday*

If we get cursed by the dwarves, we'll ask the Elves for help. They might be good for that.

Frankly, considering the insultingly low reward they offered (and we accepted for some reason), I wouldn't be surprised if the elves turn out to be stingier than the dwarves, and demand some sort of payment for removing a curse.

Let's not take Tinwulf down with us.

You decide to go into the battle without getting Dahnia involved.


Congratulations! Grand Duke Merachd embarks on his first military campaign!

During his absence, the court matters will be ran by his queen, Tasarina, and the loyal Advisor, to the best of their abilities.

958 AD, Mid-Spring

By the Mid-Spring, your Army is marching southwest. The few fortified city-states, all on their own, close their gates and dare not try to stop you just in case you decide to punish them or something.

After a week, you approach the lands surroudning Ankurvat. The few small human farming villages quickly empty as the loyal peasants run away to warn their dwarven contractors-slash-leaders of advancing army.

The mighty city-fortress of Ankurvat comes into the view; walls of shiny bronze-like stone reach up to forty feet, and the towers of the hexagonal design have large oval shaped dragon heads on top, all menacingly turned toward your Army.

Your scouts spot numerous dwarven and human soldiers stationed on the walls. Your commanders convene with you about how to proceed...

A) Time to construct some rolling towers and battering rams and prepare for all-out attack!
B) Surround the city with camps and starve the dwarves and their human subjects into submission!
C) Send a parley to the dwarves, offering them peace and cessation of hostilities in return for hefty tribute.
D) We will tun around and run away tactically retreat from the vicinity of this fortified monstrosity of a settlement.

Might this not be their latest attempt to off us?
