Well, then I'll just bypass your less than six armies, delete the Ratguard up Doomplatz, and after that maybe you come to yuor senses and see that what I meant was, "lemme soften him up, then you kill him some, then I do, then you, me, you, me" and MAYBE we can survive to see a duel

Our mutual potential friend cannot complain about anything, he hasn't lost a single soldier yet to my forces. Cities are terrain like any other, such as garrisons, for that matter ;D

Cities are terrain like any other, such as garrisons, for that matter ;D Early on in this game I said this: You, Ringweasel, have taken my citadels. This means you pay the price. That's all there is to it. There is no way I will even contemplate helping you against Mads after what you have done. Quite the opposite. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". By attacking my citadels you declared yourself as my enemy and that's the way it is.

BTW, it looks like the Stinky-ring bearer is moving on Kor. ...where hopefully his ugly exiled princess has just been permanently inhumed.

I think you have to repeat that. Your words may have got caught in mid-air by Karya's death throes.

Are all those scattered armies in Doomland and the Plains of Kor yours Ringweasel? Boy, is High-King Natmus going to have a picnic picking them off. Except for some Targ who won't be around to see it, that is. ;D

Terrible certainty, that. From your perspective. I prefer to think that we have both deprived the Mus from his delight, as we are going to leave each other dead for his arrival.

I'm surprised Ringthing stayed for the fight, considering how he had nothing to really gain from it.
I've done what I set out to do: live quietly until someone attacked me, then take maximum revenge possible given my meagre resources.
If I had been Ringbrain, I would have bypassed my citadels without conflict and hoped that you would not be so cautious in your pursuit. Alas, he did not do that and by attacking me sealed his own fate.

We, on the other hand, have become accustomed to slinging pebbles at anything that moves... there was no possible chance to end as a victor in this one, given that for all his usual rattle (no pun), Danish Blue wouldn't allow me as much as to cause a single dent in his armies. So...

You can't really complain about your starting position Mads. It gave you early control over the Plains of Kor and allowed you to beat me to most of the lords in my own quadrant, while on thw other side of you you had an empty quadrant (SE). My start would have been reasonable in other circumstances. Glorim, one day's travel from Korkith. I was able to recruit Korkith early on the second day IIRC, but then ran into Natmus' armies on the Plains of Kor straight away, and the other recruitment run only just beat Ringthane to Gorgrath but could go no further. I'd lost all the far north, including Amelista and Gloom, and was beaten by Ringthane to everything south of Myndollus. Six partial armies, and barely enough Free to keep my king alive. A game that was lost by turn three, and one in which I would have had no say at all if it hadn't been for Ringo's rashness.
