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.

A - This will have to do. If it comes to it, we can make ourselves too expensive to be worth assaulting

At the very least, this resets them back to the border and buys us time to regroup.

next time we will be combined with the hellisites, and be ready at the border.

You agree to the terms - a month respite from warfare, or more if Caius successfully pushes your agenda amongst the Senators.

1217 AD, Winter

A week later, the Damdamian army (including the garrison of captured Evalian capital) has retreated to Rucus, where it was supplanted by another five thousand troops. Spies inform you that at least five thousand more are camped at Republican-Rucusian border.

Not wasting any time, you call in reinforcements from local cities, whcih amounts to a thousand of lightly armored auxiliaries and guards. The eight-thousand strong Helliste force also joins your main Army.

You also pick up on news from the Palace:

Apparently, there has been lots of discontent and quarrels between noblemen and commoners in the recent weeks, especially in former Cydwyl. There have been few cases where peasants accused nobles of treachery, leading to imprisonments and killings. This internal strife has caused unhappiness in the Empire.

Also, your distant aunt, Aurelia, wife of Deathan, has passed away after a short illness that she caught during recent, cold, windy days.

Two weeks afterwards, the scouts from the borderlands bring news - the Damdamian army's numbers have exceeded thirty five thousand (compared to yours twenty eight right now), replenishing its cavalry units, and is again on the move! In a short time, they will cross Rucusian border and once more invade the Duchy of Eval. Caius Cuscus is not in command; someone else is leading the troops, and your spies are still gathering information.

During a council with your officers, you decide to...

A) Immediately move for the border, to fight Damdamians right after they cross the borders.
B) Wait few more days to gather more information on the new Damdamian leader and whereabouts of Caius Cuscus.
C) Wait a while to gather more information and let extra reinforcements from around the Empire to join your Army.

B

We have a our border forts back. This will hold them up a day or 2.

Hopefully the new commander is not martial though.

[VoidSlayer]

A If we move now we can find a good place to fight.

[Baffler]

C. 35,000 vs. 28,000 is long odds even on favorable terms. Caius was right about one thing, we need more troops, more information, and possibly divine intervention to have a hope to win this thing.

You decide to wait few days.

Your spies and scouts bring information as quickly as possible; the Damdamian army is led by Danus Fiscus, a general of great renown and great skill, just as Caius Cuscus was (who was relieved of the command). He is known for his devotion to Damedian faith, too.

The army in his command numbers thirty six thousand five hundred, of which a sixth is cavalry, with several hundred pieces of Fireblood weaponry for siegeing and demolishing purposes.

Spies report that the Damdamian Republic is continuing to rally, equip and march soldiers to Rucus staging areas, and already at least two thousand fresh troops are stationed in Rucusian borderlands.

They also bring news of a deal between Rucus and Damdamia; the King of Rucus has been greatly subsided with monetary wealth for allowing Damdamian troops through his territory.

The Damdamian Army, led by Danus, has already trespassed into Eval, but their marching direction is toward north rather than west, leading to a conclusion that Danus is eager to invade Methiant.

A) We must move and challenge him in a pitched battle!
B) We must remain here and observe his movements for now.
C) We must retreat toward the capital, gather troops and send for help!
