(Bullshit. BullShit, bullshit, bullshit, bull shit, FUCKING BULLSHIT!) (This is their home, only home, so a sudden attack isn't going to rattle them. And a barrage of catapult rounds isn't going to wipe out the whole army. Balmora is roughly 100 times the size it was in Morrowind, so a few rounds aren't going to destroy the whole city. And it isn't fucking bullshit, you should know powergaming isn't allowed. I mean the only way you could've won the battle with less words was if you wrote 'Lolz, I win'.)

(Ok, so, I'm going to approach this with a peaceful mind now.

I did not win the battle in one sentence. You seem to have forgotten the part where I was holding the King up at knifepoint. Which, I would like to add, ended with this king being able to shove away this highly trained and armed to the teeth assassin like he was a pile of trash. That's a completely different argument that I would have let go of if not for this. You also seemed to have forgotten the part where I unleased a barrage of catapult rounds onto the city and had my archers on overwatch while my Mages and Warriors stormed the city. The two armies came to a collision at the gate. Do you think it would be necessary for me to fill up a post about the fight?

Another thing, I cannot stand this "100 times bigger" thing. I can understand Tamriel being 100 times larger, but the cities too? They would be like 25 times the size of New York City. No one could ever build a city of such size, especially with the lack of technology in TES.

Also, I can't believe you said "They wouldn't be rattled by a surprise attack". That is ludicrous. I want you to imagine a group of people armed to the teeth bursting into your home. Would you not be the least bit rattled? I can understand them fighting back, I'm not expecting them to cower and run. But to say that they're not surprised by this attack is completely and utterly ridiculous.

Furthermore, you've made these catapults useless. I've got 4 Catapults unleashing wave after wave after wave of munitions on this city, and they can only muster up 100 casualties? In a city of 5400 citizens and 1000 guards?Really?

And another thing, the fact that the King is coming out to fight and direct is also ludicrous. King's are the most valuable man in the entire kingdom, and he comes out to fight against this hulking army? That's insane! I don't send Talyn out to fight, because he's the king! I'd be ok if it was a general, but a KING?!

And finally, and this is about the overall RP; Taking a city is borderline impossible. You put in a HUGE amount of resources, soldiers, time, and money into taking a simple city, and it's almost not worth it. Adding to that is how EASY it is for someone to rebel. If the taxes are a bit to high, or the religion isn't the same, or if your leader doesn't match their race, all hell will break lose. So, I can't expand past Morrowind. I'll take Vvardenfell, a small chunk of the mainlands, and I've hit my full potential due to all these restricitions and restrictions and restrictions.

But, you'll probably won't care about this and may even remove my Co-GM position for this. So, if you feel like responding, ok, but let this be the last time we talk about it. I'll just go along with the current battle.)
