Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

We have improved border forts from an Edict. They will have to either waste time dealing with those, or risk said forts cutting their supply line. The time and manpower they waste on those should counteract the time and manpower we waste on eval.

Our border forts weren't even mentioned last time the crusaders came into our territory. Neither that the crusaders attacked / left sieges on them nor that we liberated / relieved them – they were completely ignored. I'm not saying you're wrong, exactly. I think you should be correct about our edict, but in the metagame the lack of updates leaves me questioning their value according to Haspen.

You quickly lift the siege of Eval and quickly ride against the invading Damdamian force; the messenger is sent back to the Palace, to inform the Marshal to keep Helliste around the capital for protection.

After few days of marching, the front scouts hastily bring news; the Damdamian army in Methiantese borderlands have begun sieges of several minor border forts, delegating about thousand men for each fort (meaning five thousand plus some men are preoccupied). Their main force is however intact, with the siegeing groups only few hours away each from the main camp, making it clear that attempting to dislodge the besiegers will quickly grab attention of the main force.

A) Let's make the Damdamian pile move to our tune by making noise at their flanks and rear!
B) I will just plop my army between the Damdamians and Rucus border and see what happens.
C) Splitting the army like this will only help us crush them in direct combat!

A - A few hours delay for reinforcements is plenty of time to harass their siege forces and make them bleed heavily

B Cut the supply lines.  Our forts can hold for now.

You decide to move your forces against the nearest besieging Damdamian force.

8!*

Your Army moves swiftly and decisively, maintaing a steady pace. Like a mudslide, your soldiers attack the unsuspecting Damdamians. Combined with hail of arrows and fireshots from the walls of the defenders of the keep, many hundred Damdamians are killled and few dozens captured alive. Losses on your side can be counted up as fifty or so men.

The keep is liberated and the garrison officers promise some fresh supplies and bolts for your men, when the scouts arrive; Caius Cuscus learned of your assault (and will surely soon learn of your victory), and is moving the main troop toward your position! They will be here by nightfall.

A) Let's get all defensive like with the keep at our back.
B) Why wait until nightfall when we can march forth and defeat them by sunrise?
C) Time for us to move away and have them follow us like fools they are!

C - Let's lead him on a merry chase around the countryside. He may choose to besiege the keep again, but we've given them the chance to resupply a little and we've just had a very favourable exchange in lives. If we can keep this up for a bit, we'll attrition him to a level we can comfortably offer a pitched battle and safely win.
