Talk:Arcaea/Military Archives/The War of Sartania's Destruction

"Instantly a devastating success"? The first attack on Niel was a draw. --Roy 06:41, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

I could say this is what Caim remembers of the war... but I do know that I arrived a turn early and got slaughtered. The following battle saw this Arcaea/Military Archives/A Feast in Niel, which were the same circumstances as Topenah where the infantry managed to get onto the walls fast enough due to a large number of siege engines that the fortifications were not nearly as effective.--Aerywyn 06:50, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

I was the Duke of Niel at that time. I believe 3 battles have been fought, the first a draw and the second and third were a victory for Arcaea. We had lvl 5 walls, and I am sure the CS displayed in "A Feast in Niel" is not true, neither from Arcaea nor Sartania. However, I can not prove anything, as it are just memories, but I can say with 99% certainty that the first battle in Niel was a draw, and that the numbers of CS are false. That aside, I am not a Arcaean historian, and you may write whatever you want. If you wish to write to have tricked us with a Trojan Horse, be my guest. However, a little accuracy probably won't harm a good story. --Roy 15:54, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually, the CS numbers are true. I remember, because I was writing a letter to demand the General to step down for attacking with such odds, and waited until turn so I could post the casualties we took in the failed assault...And couldn't believe my eyes when I saw we won. We ended up having something like 1 SE per 8 men or something like that, and the walls ended up providing almost no defense. I went and talked to Tim about it because I thought for sure it was a bug, but he checked the battle and the code and said it looked fine. I don't remember which attack that was, though.
