Spinsters??
Spinsters??? Look, just because I haven't found the right guy or girl yet doesn't mean it will NEVER happen. I'm sure my lack of romantic prospects has nothing to do with the time I spend playing Illy, and I object to the very suggestion.

In the long term, the defeat of your opponent, presumably by surrender or destruction, or possibly just by retreat or stalemate (in defensive conflicts). In the short term, victory is defined by the achievement of objectives that support your long term victory conditions, or else thwart the compromise of those conditions.
If you need to control that area to achieve your victory conditions, it's really a victory. Your opponents would need to invest a lot of Illyriad units to inflict those casualties on you. If achieving the individual victory meant compromising your ability to achieve your long term goal for overall victory, then it was a Pyrrhic win. For example, if you broke an individual huge siege, but subsequently lacked the cavalry to break future sieges, then it was a foolish short term victory. |

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious. -- Sun Tzu edit: typo Edited by Arakamis - 23 Dec 2013 at 23:08 |

What defines a victory? If you invest most of your units into one area and lose a majority of them in the process of gaining control of that area, is that really a victory? You would still have so much field to cover with substantially less units, high loss/low gain.
