Thibble, the last time I got attacked by melders, they were extremely slow. You should be able to beat them there if your commanders have forced march.

The fastest unit obviously available to Audrey (Melders, http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Alliance/Faction/33) has a speed of 8 squares per hour. Thus, if you are closer to Entwash than Audrey is (2,345 squares) and have units faster than 8 squares per hour, then you should be fine if you send them as the heart starts beating, as it would take Audreys troops a bit over 12 days to reach Entwash.

Having said that, the statement by the Dwarven ghost that "
the onslaught will be swift and ruinous when the time comes" could possibly mean that there will be faster units employed as well. What troops that could be is anybody's guess...

Anyway, although it is to a large extent speculation, the main bet is that you will have 12 days or a bit more to reach Entwash from the time Audrey starts beating to the onslaught arriving. For other towns, the time would obviously be a bit different but all I am aware of are pretty far north and would be possible to reinforce from large parts of both continents.

Good Speed!

How are melders classified? The only ones I've seen were infantry. Are they monstrous, undead, both, or neither?

Most are monstrous. You have the rotted refugees, which are human, and the fungal growths that cannot move and are natural, but all the rest are monstrous.

Epidemic, I will help reinforce Karak Drak. My troops have to match from quite a distance, so please let me know by what time they are expected in the city.

Will also post the link in AC. For anyone who'd want to participate in Nesse's tournament or Epidemics search for dwarwen armor.

It sounds like Audrey will be awake soon. What's the word on the Druid member?

Audrey score of today:
Row -831: 2
Row -830: 1
Row -829: 4
Row -828: 4
Row -827: 6
Row -826: 5
Row -825: 5 (+3)
Row -824: 4 (+3)
Row -823: 4 (+3)
Row -822: 6
Row -821: 4
Row -820: 4
Row -819: 4
Row -818: 1
Row -817: 3
Total 57, of 73 needed to wake her up.
I think it will take a couple more weeks - perhaps a month to do the last 16 squares. But that all depends on how much troops and diplos people are sending, obviously. Each square takes a lot of eating...

I dispatched 100k t1 Cav to the HoC to hopefully wake her up. They are around 5 days out. We shall see what happens.
