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.

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 leave some skeletal siege crews around the forts, which amount of more than eight hundred men. The rest moves to meet the incoming army.

By the next morning, your scouts inform you that the Ceodwell forces are just an hour away! You convene with your officers and decide to...

A) Get into a defensive position.
B) Form standard battle lines.
C) Move and find favorable terrain first.

A will give us the chance to unlimber our fireblood machines and prep them, as we as fortify our position slightly, whereas C will not.

You order your troops to form defensive formations and take a well-guarded position. Unfortunately besides a small glade to the side there's not much in terms of defensive terrain nearby, but it will have to do. Your troops deply in triple line with cavalry guarding Fireblood machines on the flanks, which will deliver annihilating first volley, before the infantry smashes against the enemy.

At least that's the plan but how it will go will show up in a moment!

Although the enemy numbers are higher than yours, the numbers alone cannot match your carefully-planned tactics! The enemy infantry marches right into volley of stone rain. As the Ceodwell soldiers and mercenaries attempt to form al ine, your infantry rushes in with battle cries and plows deep into half-formed battle lines of the enemy. There's no need for real tactic, as your men have and keep the upper hand from the first seconds of the melee.

Three hours later, the battle ends as the remnants of Ceodwell forces flee for their lives, more than two-thirds of enemy Army now being corpses upon the grassy dirt. Your own forces suffered only about six hundred casualties.

After a short celebration and some rest, your officers convene with to gain insights into your strategy.

A) We resume besieging the forts with full force.
B) We leave the forts behind and go right for Ceodwell capital.
C) We leave the forts behind do some loitering around the countryside.

B That's at least twice now we've tried a siege of the forts. We don't even get a roll, we just sit there staring at them. After a big win we shouldn't give them time to muster again.

third times the charm besides they should have run out of money by now.

Oh you fickle fates.

A - If we feel particularly brutal we could start launching death Ceodwells at the castle. Eventual they'll realise just how many of their comrades aste already dead and give up. Or we could just demand their surrender and point at the corpse strewn field as an argument.

Then again, these border forts are doing their job of holding us at the border so I suppose we could just ignore them... B
