Finally started. And is in full swing.
Sorry guys, it's boring... Needs a lot more events and work and not just pew pew combat and the occasional money drop to recruit soldiers. Also, the buildup should be a "quest" in itself, with some extra intel on numbers, meetings with the leaders and whatnot.
Also, why wouldn't all the "houses" help out? The churches, Kymanto and so forth are just crossing their arms while the "savages" roll into town and ravage everything. And apparently the savages with swords and beasts (no matter how good they are) fight better than the best armed soldiers in the game. Feels unbalanced. Would make sense if there were like 10x more savages than skyguard, but with equal numbers and they still kill more? Nah..
