As the last Lirosan defenders are ripped into pieces by the shrapnel, the remaining Garange soldiers easily storm the fort. They secure the building and begin working on repairs, and after two days the a Garange officer approaches the mercenaries.
"Good work there, men. We now have the foothold in Lirosan territory that we need to capture Elandir. But more importantly, we recovered some military documents that may be of some interest to you...
Because of these documents, we believe that we now know where the Lirosan top-secret research is taking place. We hope to send in an elite team of operatives to destroy this facility. If we pull a couple strings with some contacts in the Barut Caliphate, we should be able to secure a direct transport to this facility, instead of needing to march through Lirosan lands which are reinforced by several cities and even more forts. Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to be this elite team and storm the research base."
Basically, you guys have two options:
1) Continue the war as normal, first laying siege to Elandir, then securing more military forts, then capturing a few more cities until you reach said base. This would continue the game as it has been running.
2) Bypass these sieges, which will probably be very similar to the last two, and attack the fort directly. You will be given extra credits and (skill) training to make up for not gaining these through the sieges and such. Basically, this will launch the RTD directly into the endgame. When you defeat(or are defeated by) this end mission, I will write an epilogue and then probably start another game, or maybe re-activate my Development Game.
It's your choice. I'm only bringing this up because it seems to me that this game is slowly petering out, since it's taking longer and longer for everyone to get their turns in. If the majority of the players want to continue however, I would be happy to keep the game running. On the other hand if you guys want to do something else, that's find too as my schedule looks very busy and I wouldn't mind freeing up some time.
