(@Red: My favorite genre of games are RPGs, my second favorite are strategy games. In every strategy game that I played, charging at an army that has over twice your size means death fairly quickly. Especially if they have cavalry that can charge through you and kill a large portion of your numbers in one go.

During those first frames of the gif, it would certainly not be a similar cost of soldiers between both armies. The Imperium would suffer at least double the losses, and more because of a cavalry charge right through their ranks. During the first part of the battle they are at the disadvantage, that is what I am trying to get across.

Red, as I said that is irrelevant. As I showed in the gif, what the battle would become is this: The southern troops are almost all dead and the northern troops surround the rear and rear-side flanks of the guards. Number wise, at that point the armies would be very similar. My estimates are of both armies being somewhere around 200 or so soldiers, give or take a dozen.

We've spent more time argueing about the hypotheticals of the battle than actually RPing it. I've already said my opinion enough and you haven't been able to convince me otherwise. Pacman can tell you how long we spent argueing over the battle of Fort Sungard during the last RP, it just served to get him far behind the others in the timeline.

@Maxi: Repairs, just like any other building project requires the Steward to oversee and manage. You might have sent materials but you never really started the rebuilding project. :P

Also, at the start of Frostfall you don't have 100,000 gold. You have 70,000. So how can you take 100,000 from the treasury? And remember what I told Sunny: The ships you build will be generic warships, as you cannot make more of your special ships.

PS.: Bri would have arrived in Chasetown on the 27th of Sun's Height, so a revolt would only happen starting on the 27th of Frostfall.)

There were no guards on the roof, but the mercenaries had beefed up their security patrol on the fort. Cynric would have a much harder time sneaking past all of them, because this time they weren't just on alert for an attack from the army but also for intruders trying to sneak into the fort.

The marauder was an outlaw, but he was no idiot. When he was hit in the back of the head, he turned around and saw that his compatriot was still stomping out the last of the flames. He then drew his sword. "Someone is here."

The Lady smiled back at him. "I've lived for quite a few centuries. I've seen more kingdoms rise and fall than there are stars in the skies. What makes you think Firsthold will be any different?" She asked, not really expecting a convincing answer.

The Great Hall was filled with slaughter, song and the loud voices of the nobles that had come to take part in Maeva's birthday feast.

"Today," King Korst announced. "My sister turns 12, a joyous occasion to be sure. But don't forget that wars looms on the horizon." He told his people. "We will bring the traitorous Thane Kaarn to her knees!"

That resulted in some of the patrons cheering in response.

Maeva herself was quiet most of the evening, staying by her mother's side.

Lord Dathman introduced his wife and son to the King and his family. However, because he couldn't speak straight, it was his wife that did the talking. "Greetings, King Korst. I am Aeta Steamscorch, wife of Lord Dathman and this is our son, Cristus."

"Welcome, aunt Aeta and cousin Cristus, to Windhelm. I hope that you have a great stay." He told them.

Cristus was younger than Maeva, at only 5 years old.
