You kiss your son on forehead for good luck and send him off to battle alongside dwarves, Gubta, and the leftover of Luathbas military. Not that there are many soldiers left.


Even more bad news come from the south; the beaten Damdamians regrouped and are now camping near the ruins of House of Lech, and scouts have detected another full troop, 4000 Damdamians, marching from Lametania to reinforce their fighting brethren. This means that somewhere between 6 to 9 thousand (any estimates are sketchy at this point of war, really) Damdamians occupy the south.

Ceodwell has won! The numerically inferior troops of Luathbas and its allies have beaten back the mixed troop of Kiwis and Damdamians! The dwarvish runemasters, shortly before the battle, turned the Damdamian camps into muddy swamps, softening and liquidifying the soil. Then the Gubta rained slingbullets and javelins upon their heads before main corps of Luathbas infantry moved in to push upon the enemy. The Kiwi got panicked and ran away, leaving their Damdamian allies to die. The two thousand or so Damdamians stationed at Beren's lands might not be happy about this.

While a victory, it chipped away another few hundred of Luathbas men, leaving Ceodwell woefully outnumbered against any coherent force that could show up.

You decide to...

A) Declare this a good moment to ask the Damdamians for peace negotiations.
B) Have Ceodwell swing southwards and attack the fresh Damdamian troops.
C) Recall the leftover leftovers to the capital, and prepare to a inevitable siege by the Southerners.

You agree to the deal.

"The runemasters will be ready to use their magicks against Damdamians every few days. I hope your military leaders won't use them up on mere skirmishes.

The dwarf leaves, and the Dahnian envoy enters the throne room.

"Greetings, Queen Elana." He then opens up his cloak and points a small crossbow at you!

Unfortunately for him, one of your guards up on the gallery is quick with reflexes and plants a crossbow bolt in his head, killing him instantly.

Later that day, the Spymaster visits you.

"Your Majesty, this man was carrying a coded letter which my agents are working on currently. Preliminary investigation suggests a Damdamian cipher. We will inform you whenever we discover anything else."


The investigation into the matter of fake Dahnian envoy has been completed by Spymaster and his agents; the coded letter used a Damdamian cipher and was ordering the emissary to kill you in hopes of throwing the government into further chaos.

The agents also had checked on the identity of the emissary; the 'real' man by the name given by the would-be assassin is an actual diplomat of King Anktuk, who is currently in Duchy of Tven on a courtesy visit.

Prince Ceodwell and his soldiers scored another, minor victory against Damdamians. Unfortunately Ceodwell is now low on men and has ordered an orderly retreat toward the capital.

Report from Augas places the war in the east in your favor; two outposts were retaken and while the Damdamians there are still causing havoc, the Governor has them restricted to southern borderlands.

Unfortunately, it's time to face a much closer danger; the Damdamian-Kiwi army has moved through the Forest and are marching toward the capital! The officers at the capital convene with you, asking about the strategy for defense of the capital. You decide to...

A) Pull all forces within the city walls and prepare to repel a siege.
B) Send some cavalry forces to harass the Damdamians in hopes of thinning their numbers.
C) Send out the Gubta, Ceodwell with his leftovers and Dwarvish runemasters in large big troop in hopes to squash the western force.

Why you people always have to step on each other?

I'm not awarding Support ranks for this ;v

SPAMKINGDOM cuz I'm feeling incredibly vain this morning.

Though, speaking of which, question, Haspen. If UK is at war with France but allied with Spain, and France is allied with Spain and tried to convoy troops through a sea province containing UK and Spanish fleets, using the Spanish fleets, what happens?

In this particular case, because Fleets work as 'stepping stones' in this game, nothing happens. French army gets easily transported and UK ships can't do a thing about it.

Tiruin pls post or you will be replaced with Culise ;v
