King's Tourney #1

The_Dude wrote: Now that's Trash Talk with Style Points, Kumo!   VIC has been hitting Dlord at the SE Flag, too.  I wonder if VIC should have concentrated on just 1 flag.   Where are Crow, CrowB and CrowW?  mCrow has been very active and successful.  Are the other 3 Crows waiting for attrition to take a toll?  OR...Are Crows letting enemies exhaust themselves in the tourney and once thier enemies are depleted, the Crows will ravage thier foes?  Hmmm.  This might be an interesting sub-plot developing.   At least so far, Cala and DB appear to be focused on their war and not showing interest in the tourney.   0-0 has tried to no avail at the south flag against H? - even before VIC hit there.   The NE flag now has more than 100K casualties.  Man, it must really stink there from all the rotting corpses.  I hope y'all are setting up funeral pyres during the lulls in action.  Last man standing has to clean up the mess.  :)   West flag has the least casualties at only 13K.   My expectation that the north 3 flags would be the least contested has been blasted to smithereens!  Those are 3 most active flags...shows how good my crystal ball is.   I'm a bit surprised that the #2 alliance Peace has not been more active.  Maybe they are playing Rope-a-Dope and have a massive attack planned for a flag while using the north flag as a deception.   Hmmm.   Good and Crow are the only top 10 alliances yet to appear on the leaderboard.  But I suspect that wont last much longer.

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.

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.

Here's a developing story at the West Flag... mCrow destroyed the Sir defenders.

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.
