(You may not know this, but in lore we actually have a census from a city in the 3rd Era. In 3E 401, Daggerfall had 110,000 citizens. If Daggerfall had that many citizens then cities of similar size would have similar population. The Imperial City, for example, probably has a population of over half a million people in lore. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this before when Pacman brought up populations in the 1st part of the RP. 15,000 would be around the size of a town in the TES canon not the size of a massive city.

@Gold: Could you give a number to the Rangers please. Also an exact age for Endriel would be nice. I will add your nation to the map when the new one is put up. You should start in Sun's Dawn, which is the current date.

@Pacman: Thank you, that is precisely what I am saying.

@Daedra, Continuing to reply to your yesterday post: They are soldiers/guards defending their home. What do you expect, that they will just roll over and die? None of the NPCs that I've controlled have done anything remotely ninja-like. As for the battles, they are supposed to be hard. Or else the RP would be over already, as we'd just steamroll over all our opponents and boom, one of us is Emperor. Though your estrangement to the difficulty is expected, given how easy the previous RP was. That was mainly because I hardly controlled the NPC armies in the last RP. When I did, the battles were pretty hard, just ask Pacman about the Battle at Fort Sungard. Though if you want a suggestion, taking the walls is usually a good place to start. And stop retreating, that isn't going to help. You're just giving the enemy more time to prepare and an opportunity to shoot at your men with their backs turned. :P

As Red said, you are not the only one who has had a hard battle. Hell this is only your second battle and it is against a town with relatively the same number of soldiers as you, it was bound to be difficult when compared to the taking of Fort Draloris. Anyway don't expect the battles to be easy, especially when you start going to war with surrounding nations that are just as strong as you. So in truth the battles are just going to get harder with time. If you don't like it I am sorry, but I am not changing the RPs' difficulty just for you.

As for "watching you like a hawk in every RP GMed by me", other than TTW 1 and 2, I don't believe you've been a part of my other RPs. Actually I think you were probably in Half-Gods as well, so that makes 3 RPs out of the dozen that I've made over the past two years. And I barely controlled what happened in Half-Gods, at least not in the parts that you were in and the same goes for the 1st TTW. So using this one RP, this one battle, as an example is hardly a valid comparisson to judge my GMing style.

@Daedra, today's post: Those 50 at the catapults and the men on the wall are included in the 660. Which wouldn't really be 660 now, probably closer to 630 or something of the sort. :P

@Red: You won at Gweden...how did you get your ass handed to you if you won? Having one's ass handed to them implies losing, not winning.)

"I still wish to meet with your chancellor to round up the details of this confederacy that you are building." The Lord said. "But for today, that is all." (@Pac: You can take control of the old lord from here onwards.)

"I see, right this way." The guard said and let them pass. "You can meet with the Viscount's Master-of-laws inside. She should be in her office at the end of the hallway to the left. I however, must inform you that taking out your weapons inside the palace is grounds for arrest."

There was little that the defenders of Amol could do while they were being bombarded with rocks from the catapults. Still, they readied their defenses for the battle to come. Cracks began to appear on sections of the wall after some time, soon the Old Holds army would have their opening.
