last time I checked the NE flag took heavy casualties early on but has been more quiet for the last 2 days... around 60k casualties total.

NW flag hit 100k casualties before any other flag.

S flag is very heavily contested though, it will soon be the most bloody flag at this rate. H? has held it from the start but VIC is throwing almost everything at it. H? defence is still holding pretty strong though.

EDIT: indeed S flag at 0|-500 is now the most corpse strewn area of illyriad. 118k casualties and rising.

Two opposing forces clash against each other. Large hills such as this are difficult for attacking mounted units, but provide opportunities for ranged to unit to show their worth. Arms-bearing footsoldiers take it all in their stride, of course. Manueverability and lines of sight are the keys to defending very hilly terrain. Lightly armoured units such as spearmen and ranged units find it easy going here. Attackers: Unit: Quantity: Casualties: Survivors: Commander: some random commander 3 Stalwart 1 Damaged for 100, 0 health remains. Troops: Axmen 12 12 0 Troops: Stalwarts 641 641 0 Despite your troops' defeat, word reaches you concerning the defenders' forces in this battle.

The saga at the north flag continues...

04JAN11 23:15	[mCrow] forces sent by ScottFitz arrive with orders to Occupy. 535 casualties inflicted.
04JAN11 22:46	[H?] forces sent by Mr Andersson arrive with orders to Occupy. 483 casualties inflicted.
04JAN11 22:36	[H?] forces sent by Mr Andersson arrive with orders to Occupy. 1561 casualties inflicted.
04JAN11 22:32	[Peace] forces sent by DarthVader98 arrive with orders to Occupy. 0 casualties inflicted.
04JAN11 22:04	[Peace] forces sent by Naper arrive with orders to Attack. 352 casualties inflicted

As we saw in an earlier post...Naper cleared the north flag with the Attack command which left the flag unoccupied.  But this was a well planned attack.  Peace armies (that's ironical) had been hitting this flag for several hours before Naper cleared it.  And just 18 minutes later my neighbor and former alliance-mate DarthVader98 arrived and claimed the flag for Peace.
