What do you mean by shield up?

In the General's Hut, there's a mission called Raise Defenses. That's raising shields--with it, leader attacks do 1/3 damage (meaning murders kill 1% troops and leaders instead of 3%).

After the night had passed, the flames in Ereptor's fortress had died down. General Bob-sama saw this opportunity as the Emperor's men-at-arms had dozed off after the prior long night. He watched the fortress walls from across the river, at safe distance from the encampments of the opposing General Volkov and General Holby. He knew that Ereptor's towers would be manned and his army at a safe distance behind.

After several minutes of waiting, he called a scarred Wildcat to his side. "The sun is falling in the sky. Gather your parchment and a utensil--I have orders for this day."

"Already, Lord Robert?" Following this question, the wildcat removed a block of charcoal and a large parchment from the bag on his right leg.

"Yes, already."

"Your orders, Sir?"

"We will attack once again the fortress of Ereptor. Have the shipments from the gnarled Firetooth arrived at my camp and at the camp of Wolf Snare?"

"Yes, Lord. He has sent millions of troops to supplement our efforts against the Emperor."

"Good--bring them to our encampments and supply them."

"Already done, Lord."

"Continue with my orders--infiltrate again the fortress of Ereptor and redouble our efforts."

After several minutes of writing, the messenger had filled the parchment. "Anything else, my Lord?"

"Yes--bring me my armor."

"Already, Lord?"

"Already. Return here once the message has been sent to my sergeants."

The two part, the Good Lord Robert still standing on his hill. After several hours, he watches his own ships traverse its narrow barrier.

[[Keep your arguments in character people, it's much more interesting that way]]

The peasants are discontent, emperor. The land you hold takes a toll on their production. Luckily they lack the materials needed to take it by force, so they attempt supplication.

I have heard of a tournement held to the east of here, known as "turbo" that might take their minds off their troubles. They might even learn something if they attended the games on a regular basis. Perhaps even gain the most precious gift of all - hope. This is a new era on reg. A return to the dark ages of the past. Your options are fight or die, but peace will no longer be an acceptable way of life.

It has come to our attention that certain small warlords are leaving your domain because they see you as too powerful (and wlel they should). However, keeping these enemies here could provide the armies of the emperor with amusement in the times to come when the puny rebellion is crushed and you are unchallenged. Perhaps we should send envoys to these empires, promising aid and tax cuts to keep them in the land long enough for them to be useful as sport.

I present to you a plan of action, to be discussed at the next Council of the Generals. All hail Ereptor.

For the second time in the night, the Emperor Ereptor was awaken by his messenger. Reporting to him was a thinly-looking wolf and his general, General Volkov. The Emperor turned over to face his acquaintance, questioning the point of the second disturbance.

"My Liege, your walls have been attacked."

"Who has done this?"

"Convoluted peasants, Lord."

"And their names?"

"Bob-sama and Wolf Snare of the Southsward county."

"And the losses?"

"Minor, my Liege. Minimal damage was inflicted to your fortress, and your armies hold fast."

"So the point of this rude awakening?"

"Your troop morale has dropped--your fortress infiltrated and your partisans murdered."

"The line holds, correct?"

"Yes, my Liege. We are safe... for now."



Meanwhile, across the rivers, camped on a hill General Bob-sama and General Wolf Snare. The two stoats stood with a victorious look on their faces, watching the still-inflamed outer walls of the Emperor Ereptor's fortress.

"So, my good Cody, the battle has been successful!"

"Indeed, Sir Robert. All competitions have had the desired effect."

"The crude Volkov?"

"His storehouses and legionaries are all decimated. Ours have all grown stronger in this exchange."

"The dastardly Holby?"

"His land has been taken, and I have reaped its benefits."

"Our parsimonious emperor's strongest generals have been injured. That is good."

"And what of our squally emperor?"

"The battles against that bleak soul have met their target. A third of his finest men-at-arms lie dead. There is no telling the immense toll--though our own finest suggest greater twenty million are now being carried to the grave."

"So then, both our campaigns have been immensely successful."

"We shall part this night--and meet again. Expect my messenger soon."

Tonight Bob-sama and Wolf Snare part, to meet again soon.




OOC: ;)

But yet...  Again assumes there was a reason for the first

If there was no reason, because there aint no reason, what would they have to do to not have it happen again?

Not be ahead of me in net and leaving a troop hole for my convenience.  Is that really too much to ask?

Sometimes, yes. Oh well--there are other sources of land. If you're not attacking all run, you may very well be wasting your turns.

I don't view it as a waste of turns when I'm dishing out some justly deserved punishment.  And rest assured, I will have no problem dishing out justly deserved punishment again and again this round.

I see... but I still see no reason any warlord would with to comply with your unruly demands. Oh well--it'll be up to the players.

Heh. You'll see what I have planned--whats's up my sleeves.

Oh--and not 2 weeks Holby.
10 days, 10 hours, 58 minutes and 32 seconds

what, your plan to mass leaders using a mass amount of cities and using academy, then using that mass to either suicide, or to pass to another via capture who has a large amount of leaders and a very good ratio?

If you want to think so, think so. I enjoy my strategy very much. Other than that--you can have fun waiting.

Bring it then Coby. Time to put up or shut up. If you can even get a high enough NW to attack Ereptor that is.

Don't worry--the time is close at hand.

Let's not split hairs. You have all been owned. Utterly and completely.

Here's to a long and tyrannical reign!

Tschuss, kaiser! ;)

I realize he has perhaps the most land that anyone has ever collected this round, as well as one of the top networths Reg has seen. Really doesn't matter--I know Ereptor can't stay up for a decent amount of time.

Ich erwahne mein glas--prost! Um eine kurze und gemassigten regel!

In retrospect to PA, that is.

Ereptor has not been broken for 14 days. He is Emperor.

$4,729,210,720
$253,208,315

He is 18.6 times bigger than the next Warlord, with a lead of $4,476,002,405.

Ereptor is stronger than he has ever been, all are too small to even attack him. I am embarrassed by my opponent's complacency and lack of aggression, conqest has never been so simple.

Hail Ereptor, lord of RWL.

Heh. You'll see what I have planned--whats's up my sleeves.

Oh--and not 2 weeks Holby.
10 days, 10 hours, 58 minutes and 32 seconds

EDIT: Oh and Shadow--regarding your math. Run the numbers--you'll find he only owns 39.5695031% of the game's total of 1,153,272 acres of land in circulation (warlords out of protection).

It is you who will learn--your mistakes have made enormous cracks in your overall strategy.

I would hardly call it owning. He has a team of experienced players backing him, sure, but he also condensed the field opposing him. As you know, once you condense something, the potency increases dramatically.

Not an emperor? Insolence! He holds 60% of the game's land by himself and has close to 20x the net of the next highest competition.

I say give him time. I go by technical rules--he's in a position of supposed power for now, I'd like to see him try to use it.

Go for it. As I told him--he's not an emperor and if he was, I still serve myself.

obedience must, and shall be taught

Good luck--you'll definitely need it to teach anyone obedience.

14.74 turns per attack.

I agree--it would be foolish to obey. What's the point? Please--by all means--smash people you think are disobeying. It'll be fun. Anyways--no reason to hail someone who isn't even emperor.
