An army of the Undead was seen approaching the outskirts of your city, and passed by your defensive wards as though they were not there.

From Ryelle: First of two attacks; I came online after the first attack was already headed in; the notification for the second attack came about one hour before the second attack hit; the attacks are about 45 minutes apart.

Victorious defense by Ryelle's forces at Esperanza under attack by Skeleton Warriors (NPCs)'s forces from The Underworld

Two opposing forces clash against each other.

Swordsmen, and especially cavalry, find attacking into very mountainous terrain difficult - although ranged units can excel.

Narrow passes and gulleys hinder any mounted units' ability to defend adequately. Nimble spear units have no such worries here, and defending bowmen are able to use their height advantage to maximum effect.

Attackers: Unit: Quantity: Casualties: Survivors:
Troops: Skeletal Warriors Skeletal Warriors 2 2 0
Troops:  Ribbed Cadavers 3 3 0
Troops: Reanimated Bonesmen Reanimated Bonesmen 21 21 0


Defenders: Unit: Quantity: Casualties: Survivors:
Troops: Sentinels Sentinels 31 0 31
Troops: Wardens Wardens 5 0 5
Troops: Elven Trueshots Elven Trueshots 200 4 196
Troops: Swiftsteeds Swiftsteeds 30 0 30
Troops: Swiftsteeds Swiftsteeds 2 0 2

From Ryelle:  No mysterious additions to my troop count after this attack, more's the pity.  I guess that was a bug.  Do I get to keep the troops, or do I have to file a petition?

[01:40]<GM Stormcrow> @Comrade - There'll be a Herald update shortly. But I don't think they're only spawning from The Rift anymore. Perhaps the earthquake tremors have loosened up the groun above a few of those graveyards around the map...?
[01:41]<Ryelle> Stormcrow, as a person with a rather personal issue in this question ... is it likely that the undead armies are going to be getting bigger? as in a lot more troops in each army?
[01:42]<GM Stormcrow> @Ryelle - Understandable question from your perspective. Put it this way, we're not setting up specific areas of the map to be deathsville areas. The ones that *are* going to be deathsville are already pre-reserved and unsettlable.
[01:43]<GM Stormcrow> @Comrade - anywhere where units have been slain constitutes a potential graveyard...
[01:43]<Bluesnake99> gc will theas faction hubs send out diplo units
[01:44]<GM Stormcrow> @Bluesnake99 - Um. Well, the point of faction AI and faction AI expansions is to have factions act as full participants in the world of Illyriad, but without being unfair (ie endless sources of units competing with players on an unlevel playing field... that'd be no fun...)
[01:46]<GM Stormcrow> @Tarsius - Well... again, I'm not going into any great detail... but skeletons are only the tip of the undeadberg.

Undead near the activated standing stones at -488|182, now lets hope they dont attack me.

And if this is barley the tip of the undeadberg (lol), does that mean that we are all doomed? Will it get worse than it already is?

WE ARE ALL DOOMED! Run for your lives! Nary a soul will be spared! Stormcrow has finally tired of our whining and unleashed the cleansing fires of Hell! Save your children and pets and children's pets and pet trolls (where are you Judy?)!

Unless anyone has already noticed, it's been 666 days since Illy first started. SC seems to have a good sense of black humour
