Let it be known that the Syr-Antin, now that they are secure in their new homeland, have announced the crowning of their new Emperor. Lee The Brave, Light of Heaven, has risen to his throne in our StrongHold and now speaks for the many deities the Syr-Antin worship. His word is as a command and our hearts are gladdened that at last we have our spiritual leader in place. Long live Lee :-) ***Cheesey Grin***
-- Syr-Antin [gk5]
Pig Foul will make a nice roast !!
The LOTC are happy to announce the conquest of the most southern Rimmon Musketeer castle located in the cn line. The battle counted over 3500 active men, including hordes of beasts of different types.
We are however sad to announce more than 2800 men of both sides were killed in the process.
We are also proud to announce we have taken a Rimmon leader as prisoner.
Lord Foul [XXXX], "Golden Horse Rampant Banner", prisoner
Looking over the rubble of the former Rimmon castle, Bruennor Battlehammer, Prominent member of the Gutbuster Brigade, King of Delzoun, Lord of the Crown.
PS: I have reduced the size of the battle for printing paper's sake !!

Greetings All As most have heard from Brunnor Battlehammers post, My brother Lord Foul was captured in combat last month in a most epic battle of almost 4000 troops. He fought to the last man and then as some fearfull hid beaneath the dead he turned towards the Lords Hordes and fought on bravly in hopes the Queen would escape. It was Lord foul alone vs 200 troops and 389 Elite archers, He fought until completly overwealmed and then sadly was taken prisonor. As I escaped with the queen I could see in the distance Lord Foul being taken prisoner with a smile on his face. Fear not my brother we will rescue you soon! Perhaps you can lean somthing from Lord Fouls bravery Artemis. It's better to die with a smile than flee with scowl. You fought bravly Brunnor next time we will come for you.

Rumors
For no apparant reason the following is seen: 3: Green Watch [X] collapses! Followed by the following attack 4: Jorym Elthargrimm [X] attacks Wolf the Unwashed [X]! And here I was feeling sorry for the Wolf for losing his castle in Port Royal, and it turns out he burned it down himself. If all one needs is to move a small stack of soldiers onto Musketeers territory and watch them burning down everything they own, the Lords of the Crown should be able to claim an easy victory soon. Wanna borrow some more matches?
At Least Lord Foul fought like a man. Unlike Artemis, who ran from battle once again this turn. For those who care, fret not Lord Foul Lives and will return to the war front soon!

More Rules? You insist on posting Rules? I don't like rules, I see it as an invite. To come and see if you can back up your mouth. This game is kinda boring these days. You can rename it anything you like... It smells the same Massacre on turn 135
What was that noise?
What that splash like a big shot dwarf falling overboard?
Yes that was it exactly!
I didn't hear anything.
