I have been out and about lately and neglected that guide creation, but I promise to pack my notes together and get working on it for the next week. Sorry for the long wait.

In regards to infantry, sure ... but dwarven Cavalry proved to be not on the same level as from other races (I hope I kept those reports hmm) ... :/

I do not really think that the list shows which race is better, but it shows which troops from each race the community thinks that are better Smile

Deranzin, I believe Bellus is referring to the creative title bestowed upon you by your alliance.

I do not see why I shouldn't. I have more or less answered that in GC, but someone cannot be expected to know what is being said there round the days, so I might as well give a more solid explanation here.

If someone had looked at the map at the start of the war between the two sides (at puzzleslogic for example) they would have seen that Turalia was, more or less, a semi-fringe position to be and, in that capacity I did my best to help defend other, mostly smaller players, and help in breaking sieges whenever possible ... as the war progressed my position instead of being near the edge, ended up to be a border one, and an isolated border at that map-wise, so I became an obvious tactical target since H? had only me and another member in Turalia, also being sieged.

Considering now the above and summing up we have :
  • Bad map conditions (noone to blame for that)
  • Huge distance from the alliance hub which made sending troops from it, impossible (my fault)
  • Huge armies in my doorstep ( VICX at some point maintained simultaneously  two siege camps of well over 1.5 million troops each and 3-4 smaller ones, which were the ones that I took down )
The possible solutions where moving my cities, but I didn't want to leave Turalia, plus I had just exodused 3 of them and rebuilt them at great cost both in time and resources. Also the trip to the alliance hubs was 8 days. I would only be able to save one of them, and I did eventually exodus my trader city.

The other nine now ... one I defended, but it fell to 0 pop, which is as good as gone.
For the other 8 I eventually run out of troops and even if I had any, the sieges were too large and with a whole different battle plan like the others, so asking help from nearby allies to deplete all their resources just to make a possible dent on only one siege of the many around my cities would have been, I think we will all agree, selfish, inefficient and quite silly actually ... which is why I didn't do it ... Smile

It is strange when they comment on a situation with certainty, while they do not seem to have taken the trouble to do the very reasonable thing you just did, which is "ask what happened" Wink
