WARATH (a.k.a. where the elves, humans, goblins and dwarves are):
GENERAL NEWS :
DAVANIAN FRONT:
Forced to neglect the dwarves to the south, the Davanians launch an all out rescue effort to free the besieged city. Upon sight of the nearby flag of Davania in the hill near the city, troops within the city planned to rally. When the Davanian forces engaged the Catalians to the west, the troops In the city rallied to the east. The entire of the Davanian military was now fighting for survival against almost all of the Catalian miliary. The Davanians however had split the Catalian armies and were able to play off this. When the day was through, the city was safe.
Catalia: -300 footmen, -500 elven archers
Davania: -300 warriors, -250 elven archers, -400 raiders
Small amounts of Catalian horsemen quickly take small tracts of land along the border.
To the south the Dwarves using only 1/3 of their army press north taking much unprotected land.
ILLORIAN FRONT:
The Illorian king who ordered the advisors to take control of the nation 2 years ago hasnt returned, and they will rule for another 2 years.
With peace setting in to the east, the Dwarves prepare for an all out offensive against the Illorians as the Dwarven king anticipates a large amount of Goblin soldiers come storming across the countryside. As a result he launches a foolhardy attempt to once again break the defenses of Illoria. He prepares 2 offenses. The first will hopefully take the line and to the sea stopping Goblin forces from entering further into Illoria, to ensure the Dwarven king lands in the peace treaty. The second attack would be the same route taken 200 years ago to take the city on the lake. He would use 1/3 his army for both.
To the south his 1000 dwarvish warriors, 600 archers, 600 raiders and 300 horsemen launched an attack on a fort. The elves numbering just 700 illorian archers were able to hold off for several days. Enough time for reinforcements to arrive. The combined effort of the elves pushed back the Dwarves and the line was safe once more.
Na-Fonar: -100 warriors, -50 archers, -50 raiders, -20 horsemen
Illoria: -150 Illorian Archers
The Dwarves then launched their attack against the city, which went smoothly. The 230 warriors that stood in their way surrendered after a brief skirmish. The city is now within their grasp.
Illoria: -230 warriors
The reason for lack of Illorian military was soon seen as not work of the Goblins to the west, but due to military planning. The illorians launched a quick sweep into Dwarven lands. They have driven into the kinda hilly area between the two Dwarven mountain ranges. Attempting to split the Dwarves and the Dwarves attempt to split them.
AMORFAL FRONT:
An unofficial cease-fire is declared and no military action is taken.
The skaven forces have returned home and have disbanded.
TARAKFAL FRONT
Duke Leopold obliges the kings command and immediately orders his guards to retire. When Duke Francis is told the same by a messenger his reply is the messengers head. When guards are sent for his arrest, their heads too return to the capital. The duke is in full revolt. Without Leopolds army, most of his lands have fallen to Francis. The Tarakfal army will be needed to quell this revolt. The kingdom of Glocia has demanded full independence from Tarakfal, or the crown. The Kingdoms departure has brought a decrease of 1 gold to Tarakfal coffers per turn. Luckily the Tarakfal king had ordered money be invest into the infrastructure and the economy has remained stable. To help their war effort Glocia has announced it will sell any technology it has for 3 gold.
MANFIA (a.k.a where the orcs, goblins and skaven are):
Lack of communication with their homeland, the Coren colony is close to collapsing.
GREAT SKAVEN WAR:
The war in Skaven lands come to a close after three large battles. The first being in Minori, the second in Dolori and the third in Fanafar.
In Minori, the Minori army marched to stop the advances by Majori. The Majori forces form Allori had reached Minori by now however and the entire Majori army was ready for battle. The Minori took the defense, with almost 2000 archers supporting 4200 warriors and 1000 raiders. A total of 7200. The archers behind the warriors, with raider on wings. The Majori lines looked like a mess. It was split into two groups, the kings and the generals. The king commanded his own personal 1650 crossbowmen and 720 footmen along with 19 catapults. The general under command from the merchant council controlled the 3000 other troops. They totaled 5000.
The Majori launched the attack. Deadly bolts from the crossbows ripped through the armor of the raiders, as the footmen charged against the right Minori flank. Catapults hurled rocks on top of the defending archers. The general pushed onto the center and left. As his forces struggled to gain the advantage, the kings forces quickly destroyed the raider force and began to flank around the Minori force. Rather than be captured, the Minori commander signified the retreat. 600 warriors would be captured as they couldnt escape. At the end of the battle the minori had lost twice as much as the Majori in what seemed to be an equal battle.
With Majori forces now knocking on the door of the capital, peace was secured. Minori gave up command of the western provinces and 1/3 of these lands came under the direct domain of the king. 3 gold would also be paid to the Majori one at a time over the next 6 years(3 turns).
Majori: 700 skaven warriors, 100 raiders, 100 archers, 100 crossbowmen, 100 footmen
Minori: 1600 skaven warriors, 500 archers, 300 raiders
Fanafar continued to press the attack into Dolori. Another battle between their armies took place outside the city. Once more Fanafar forces were able to route the and ill-lead troops. With this they gained control of the city.
Fanafar: -300 skaven warriors, -100 archers, -100 raiders
Dolori: -250 skaven warriors, -150 archers, -50 raiders
The forces however had to retreat and give up the city to return home. The Islandi army was now marching against Fanafar proper. The Fanafar forces were defeat in three small battles around a river crossing. The success of the Islandi forces have brought Fanafar to the bargaining table.
Islandi: -500 skaven warriors, -250 archers, -100 raiders
Fanafar: -300 skaven warriors, -150 archers, -250 raiders
Final peace is declared by the Skaven nations. Islandi and Dolori forces sign peace with the Minori and the king pressures the Minori to relinquish control of the forces in Warath. They are all returned home safely, although none back in arms. Allori is split between Dolori, Islandi, Majori and Fanafar. Fanafar gains in Dolori are returned. As a compensation they are given some lands in former Allori. The new lands have brought a +1 gold per turn boost to all anti-goblin nations.
