Default Re: Redwich - a dramatic game (awaiting pretenders)

Apparently my total inability to take a single Van fortress still qualifies me as becoming too powerful. Hilarious. I might ask the nations of the world to do some better scouting - my 'power', such as it is, lies mostly in being annoying. And make no mistake, if you intend to invade me know that you will capture nothing but savaged and pillaged land that I will do my best to reduce to ashes. At the same time, my forces will do their best to harass you guerilla style before disappearing again and reappearing elsewhere. To attack Eriu is to fight a continuous war which ultimately you cannot win, and which will merely sap your resources and leave your nation a similarly burnt-out husk. Just ask Vanheim.

On the other hand, the nations of the world might be interested in knowing that TC has achieved level 9 alteration, and is running around with at least one mage capable of casting army of gold. Eriu has nowhere near that kind of research prowess. Instead, Eriu is a wartorn realm that has never been allowed the chance to develop in peace, ruling tribes of foreigners we will have no qualms about putting to the sword in front of ravenous invaders. So please, invade us. Victory, should it present itself to you, will be pyrrhic indeed.

Edit:
I am of course implying that TC is becoming too powerful, rather than Eriu, as research is far more valuable than gold at this point.

I should also provide some incentives i suppose. I am offering a 50e bounty to the first nation who is not at war with me and captures a TC fortress. Obviously, TC need not apply. Anyone who has declared war or the intention to war, but not acted on this threat, is eligible to rescind their declaration and become eligible for the 50e prize.

The balance of power among the nations is difficult to assess. While statements outlining some of the strengths of T'ien Ch'i are true, its weaknesses are underplayed as well as Eriu's advantages. Similar strength can be found in Bandar Log and likely Arga Dis. I imagine that Vanheim has some as well.

I would like to list some advantages I perceive that Eriu has over all the nations.

-2 Globals currently up (Mother oak has been up for a while)
-Vast amounts of territory
-Very large gem income (assumed from the territory and Mother Oak as well as Skaven's capital gem income)
-Amazing recruitable thug chassis
-Atleast 3 hammers pumping out items to kit out these thugs (I have personally supplied 2 of these)


I'd rather not delve too deeply into my nation's weaknesses as I may soon find other enemies exploiting them, but consider the following:

-T'ien Ch'i has likely the least amount of territory (this is easily verifiable)
-T'ien Ch'i has no good recruitable thugs
-T'ien Ch'i's gem income in some areas is severely lacking; I have been extremely unlucky with some types of gems.
