Unwavering in the face of the armies of Baelgrim, Targossas threw down the gauntlet of war to Mhaldor in the year 8XXAF.
Cheers and prayers to the Pantheon sound forth with one voice from the City of Mhaldor, the relentless pressure finally shattering the military might of the City of Targossas and forcing them into the shadows of defeat.
Why would Mhaldor be praying to the entire Pantheon? What is this message even supposed to be saying? It sounds like Mhaldor prayed really hard and the Gods decided the war was over.

While something for Targ would be:
The twin rivulets of pure light and vibrant flames swirl in incandescence above the Pantheon, as the military might of Targosses forces the city of Mhaldor before the purity of Light and Fire.
Is it really shattering either? They killed themselves for 2-3 hours on the champion's bridge. I enjoyed that, and I'm really happy they got ordered to do that, because it gave us a fun defense, but I don't think we were 'shattered'.
also, @Archaeon, I already made my nexus variant yesterday:
Aegis, God of War says, "You are dismissed from My demense, Astarod. Go forth and fight well. Bleed fiercely, and climb the purpose you have sought to chase for."
College has already given me the maximum amount of spiritual undoing.

This whole "city morale" thing. What goes into it?
I still feel like this could be the Avenue for the non-comms to be more active, or the city as a whole for those times constant skirmishes and raids are not going on.
Disappearing from Achaea for now. See you, space cowboy.

@Kaios: Power creep is a serious problem that's hard to solve, and defences revolving around guards are tough to manage for people who aren't artied up to a significant degree both for survivability and for escape. We tried really hard to give our characters who aren't that artied up and/or combat-inclined some objectives and avenues that helped, without being one of the guard bashers (bombing and sweeping for tanks and scouting around and stuff), but even so, a lot of taking care of your team boils down to coming up with ways to make their contributions feel interesting and useful. In that respect, Mhaldor was really awesome, with both Houses pitching in with events, religious stuff, favours and prizes, and just in general a really great atmosphere of support for everyone, even on days when it was frustrating or grating. Truth is, fun will never be hardcoded into Achaea, and neither will 'fairness,' so my advice is to do your best to support people who are feeling frustrated, and try and think of ways that they can have fun.
Reaching down with a massive hand, Sartan lifts your head and draws a taloned finger across your throat, the wound closing as He does so.
Take the loss and run with it, quit trying to act like it didn't happen. I hope they change the in room line on these banners every single day just to thwart this bullshit.

Least fav moment? @Niraaeth solo on clouds vs 10 of us. Holo Miasma kills everyone.
Shout-out to @Solaine for the old embrace, reject, auto walk through enemies at the gates 3 times in a row. That guided strike spamming your grace will get you, man. Take it out of combat defs, put it in basic.
Blame it on the mechanics, sure. Also, why does my gag bother you? My playing experience does not concern you, ty ty.
AoE dmg yesterday was legendary.

It doesn't bother me. You can do whatever you want. I just think it's bullshit. 50+ people have sunk an entire month of their playtime into this war, for better or worse. The (so far) tangible thing to come from it - and you just gag it? That's ultimate "neener neener" stick your fingers in your ear type shit. That's my opinion. Play the character and show some awareness.

The Banners are kind of annoying. It's like graffiti colour. TBH, they should be in your city too (if they're not). Also, war points? Do they exist? How do we see what our war point balance is, and what we can spend them on?

(Edit: I actually don't know if the tanks were specifically from the Eleusis transaction but it is funny still to think it)

Why would I be in a corner? I got tested for COVID-19 today. I have real world stuff to attend to. Your decision and opinions on a text based game I play in my downtime don't matter to me. I think the war has been great, I think you guys did win. It's sad to see someone so in need of constant and consistent validation so utterly bent over a gag that took me 5 seconds to make.
The point of this thread is to talk about mechanics, not argue what side did here and there. I don't think anyone is saying Targossas won at all, I'm just saying that you guys couldn't get past the first room in the city (which is a fact).
I'm more interested in what we're considering PvE wise in the future, as well as other alterations to motivate us to war again, than for you to brag about your text based win.
It'd be a shame if nobody ever warred again.
Like this, you guys are constantly doing cringe potshots that no one cares about. Specifically, Atalkez, too. I think him and only 1-2 others have attempted derailing mechanical talk for self-validation.

The point of this thread is to suggest mechanical alterations so that players will enjoy war. We've talked at length on rewarding the victors for winning, rp consequences for the losers, and even rewarding the losers for war participation.
The point is to enjoy playing the war, not forcing people to look at banners in their own city. I want to war again with mdor or another city, but if you guys act like this on forums about OOC stuff (because a gag is pretty OOC, the banner is still there, fyi), then you're just trying to push around players of characters instead of doing stuff IC.
@Mizik had a good post, and so @Proficy had a good point on PvE, as well as @Crixos quite a few pages back.
This thread is a place the admin said they were going to watch, we should use it constructively, if anything.

"Seems like" would imply there's a chance he isn't.
