True it has been very quiet lately. Concerning the war here is short briefing from my point of view.
So far Toch and Elkad have both conquered 2 of hellhound's cities and I've 1. There is still 1 city on our continent and I've my main stack at the gates of it.
After the war started hellhound started a very harsh whipping of his cities. I thought he was building up defensive forces, but this wasn't the case. He prepared to flee on the archipelago where he now has at least 2 maybe 3 cities (didn't remember to check when I last time logged in).
Naturally the war setup is very unfavourable for hellhound so it is good idea from him to try to start over in a new place. At minimum it buys him more time.
