~Maion
Can't say I ever accepted protectorate status. Rather let all my cities burn but I will say one of the best campaigns I ever played was with Hayasdan. The silver death just kept coming and dying in the Causcuses. I never fought them where I didn't want to. No open ground etc, used spies and watchtowers and lightly defended forts to guide them just were I wanted. Didn't matter one bit the quality of my troops verses theirs (where did all those silver shields come from) they died by the thousand.......... oh the fond memories!
We have fed our sea for a thousand years
And she calls us, still unfed,
Though there’s never a wave of all her waves
But marks our English dead:
We have strawed our best to the weed’s unrest,
To the shark and the sheering gull.
If blood be the price of admiralty,
Lord God, we ha’ paid in full!
