Yeah, they really ought to get their rudders fixed, those ships just don`t seem to want to go where they are needed!
DENDRA
The Corsairs’ nation is a slumbering giant. You won’t have to complain long about their inactivity.
– Gildring
<<You won’t have to complain long about their inactivity.>>
Yeah, because they’ll be DEAD!!!
Ovatharuss
We will let the Corsairs keep the Khand and Quiet Avenger busy while the Free maintain control in Rhun, extend our grasp in Mirkwood, take Gundabad, and eliminate the last Dark Servant population center in the Misty Mountains. By mid-summer, the slaves of Sauron will have holdings in Mordor and Harad only.
– Gildring
Losing capitals is a sick way to “maintain control” in Rhun!! Would Sangarunya, by chance, be your strategy coordinator?
Ovatharuss
Sangarunya’s Daddy
Yes, we love his non-acting stategy: he is smarter than what it seems (I hope), when he’ll lead his troops through the QA territories to reach the Khand’s capitol we’ll see who was right :):)
Moz
Shyeah, right. He’s been sailing around the past three turns doing nothing. Those troops must be getting AWFULLY expensive.
- Ben
Dark Lts.
“scuttle ships” would save him some money. Afterall, his navy is useless.
Always glad to help,
Ovatharuss of Khand
I wonder if the Corsair troops that are “marching through the desert to the Khand capitol” will get as lost as the navy?
Should we expect them to turn up around the Sea of Rhun or something in a turn or three?
Hey Elf punks and your WM lackeys!
Bring on some REAL armies! While we appreicate the practice it would be nice to have a challenge. It must be tough to be WAY out mage’d.
Khamul, Lord of Mirkwood
Khamul, you are deluded if you think the slaves of Sauron can match Saruman, Galadriel, Elrond, Erestor, Galdor, and several other Warlocks worthy of mention. Our emissaries are also peerless. And as far as commanders go, compared with Aragorn II, Glorfindel, Ecthelion II, Imrahil, and Balin, your puny commanders are slimy orc girls. Gothmog can not maintain an army, defeated as he was outside the walls of Minas Morgul. And Bolg the Fat barely escaped imprisonment thanks of the guile of Ji Indur. The only area you excel at is agents, and as I said before, the stealth of our youngest Elves will more than compensate us in this matter.
Fall back to Mordor you fool. Since you can not see that the complete rout of Mirkwood is near at hand, you have little hope to save your faltering nation. Use your mages to win minor battles as we grasp rings to impersonate your kind and kill your commanders.
– Gildring, Herald of Elrond
Silly Elves,
Go back to chasing small tree rodents and leave the serious work to the Nazgul.
I sure don’t see much sign of you guys “cleaning out” Mirkwood unless you are somehow disbanding WM troops and characters.
Khamul
Oh, foolish elf… little are you aware of the peril that awaits you.
- Urzahil
Minion of Sauron
Well, just a few more quick days before the next round runs… How do the free intend to demonstrate their dominance of the Rhun theater this turn? I am guessing it is by Disbanding all their armies and running back to Edoras. (Too bad Widfara will not be joining you… and you thought rhun characters were not to be feared.)
- Huz
Yep, I am still alive and kicking. Too bad about those NM though.
It is better that your nation lives, Huz, as we know that four men carrying one cripple can not fight as well as a group if they didn’t have to support you. We have taken every starting pop. center of yours but Riavod, so we know that you live on the strained generosity of your allies.
We have Dilgul, Lest, and more Free peoples living on the eastern coast of the Sea of Rhun. You have two puny armies at Riavod-- we destroyed the rest. Our troops number in the thousands there, so in every measurement, the Free still control Rhun, not Sauron’s slaves.
As for your surprises Urzahil, we are Masters of Lore and know more than you could possibly expect. We don’t need surprises to defeat you because we will stick with economic dominance and continue to take your holdings, from Gundabad to Goblin’s Gate, your nations are shrinking while ours grow.
– Gildring
Snicker
More commanders are disappearing, and Gundabad still stands… Losing Barad Parras is unfortunate, but not critical. Your mistakes are glaring, wretched elves…
- Lord Urzahil
Why don’t you ask the WK how is Angulion???
I always thought that real mistakes were to forget to issue 215 orders…
- Roberto
Northmen
Big whoop, I’m surprised you’re still alive. Perhaps we’ll just have to squash you from whatever rock you’re hiding under. That shouldn’t be too difficult.
- Ben
Dark Lts.
Yes, Angulion is dead. He disobeyed a direct order out of Imladris for all servants of Sauron to return to Mordor and await their fate. He paid the price for staying. So it shall be the same for all the Dark Lord’s slaves if you do not flee immediately to your dark dens in Mordor.
– Gildring
Gildrig,
I really do need to know how you consider yourselves winning the battle of the Rhun Sea.
Yes, you have taken 2 villages of mine (both undefended), 1 town, and I think a camp.
In the mean time we have burned the NM capital, captured the town at 4415, I have an army sitting at the other undefended town of Rhubar (4413), we have captured Lest… About the only free pop center of any meaning left in the area is Digul, and that is just because we have not moved there yet, and I really dont think that one town did the NM any good…
You really should come over to the dark side, you have a gift for twisting words. Sauron could use you to write his press releases.
Huz
Still kicking. And you better have Eomer watch his back, things have not gone well for Rider commanders in my territory.
