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.

You demand they force the dwarves to sign the vassalship papers!

1117 AD, Late Summer

1

They weren't successful, and the captive dwarves fought for their lives. Many a Methiantese soldier died in the great struggle which saw the fortress of Zasitost catch on fire and its inner halls looted by your soldiers, dwarven patriots and random passerby adventurers. The city is in ruin and only its massive walls stand tall nowadays. What was left of dwarven populace disappeared into deep tunnels under the city, which your soldiers refuse to penetrate. Instead, they opted to cover the entrances with rock and dirt and rubble.

Your administrators begun poking around nearby human-led settlements, asking them to quietly accept they rule; all of these little hamlets which previously helped feed the city now respond to you.

1*

The battle at the border with the Ceodwell was yet another disaster; while this time the Gubta came in lesser numbers, your commanders simply flubbed it and another thousand or so soldiers was killed while the rest fled westwards. The casualties amongst Gubta must've been negligible, as they easily begun storming the border forts few days after the rout.

2

While the garrisons did their best to inflict some losses upon the Gubta, your conquests were all negated. The Gubta decided to not stop after this string of victories, and made after your soldiers into your borderlands!

4*

But that's where your soldiers decided to make a stand. The Gubta were routed and some casualties were inflicted, but your soldiers aren't in best shape either. Your commanders and noblemen alike are worried about this development at the eastern front. What now, they ask?

A) Time to call up that thousand something of men from Lametania?
B) Time to ask Queen Dogethe to provide more forces?
C) Both of the above, maybe?
D) Time to negotiate with Ceodwells and the Gubtas?

[birdy51]

Gubta is there to repel us. We should let that happen. That way, we can later inavde them when they do not have the funds to hire their men.

D Such rotten luck...

[Criptfeind]

C

Keep on trucking. Can't roll 1s forever!

[omada]

I liked birdy idea, but I don't know yet if it would work to help gutba gain money from ceodwell and attack them again

A?

C or D looks like it won't work properly somehow

[helmacon]

C!
Onwards!

[milo christiansen]

Wow, such luck.

C or A. Probably A, since I don't want to bother the queen too much.

[Kashyyk]

A She's already shut down the other dwarves, so I think it'd be a bit much to ask for more.

[mightymushroom]

A Is much closer, and Dogethe may still be tied up with the other dwarves in the north.

[Arlos]

A

How useless are those prophecy seriously.
They only work when they are here to shaft us :/

[Baffler]

A. Shame about Zasitost but at least they were defeated.

[Haspen]

You call up the men from Lametania to the frontlines.

1117 AD, Autumn

The Army regroups and recuperates, reaching almost six thousand in numbers by now. That's fortunate, because the scouts and agents over the border report that the Ceodwells have also regrouped; a force of four thousand, mostly archers and cavalry, is on its way to the border! Suprisingly, there has been no sign of Gubta activity since your last victory.

A week later you receive another report!

6*

Glorious victory has been scored against the Ceodwells! Their numbers were broken and many of their soldiers were killed.

However, your commanders are unwilling to step into Ceodwellian territory once again, out of fear of lurking Gubta Oliphaunts, apparently.

A) Don't they know that cowardice can result in docked pay? Onwards, my brave soldiers!
B) That is a sound thinking. We ought to gather men during this lull in hostilities, too.

[crazyabe]

B.

[milo christiansen]

A time to take the place before it can recover.

[birdy51]

B

Let the men rest. They've seen hard fighting, and now it is we in the position of power. Not mention, our enemies, the dwarves, have slipped far beneath the earth. We must not think ourselves so proudly as to proclaim them defeated. They could rise forth at any time...

[Prophet]

B Let's catch a second wind and then take the East!
