Year 2, Turn 3

The Salamander empire began the month by scouting out the Southern elf city and preparing for war.  The first set of scouts were able to learn the entire content and organization of the army garrisoning the walls however the banner lost 2 baggage from rot as well.

They swiftly committed to a siege against the elves in revenge of the port that was taken in the North.

Their banner in the southern fortress scouted the elf army in the northern village.  The scouts learned nothing of the banner but did encounter 60 points of mercenaries that were added to the banner.

Much to the dismay of the various gods of war the salamanders both scouted and retreated from the siege against the Rhordians along the border.  They apparently did not wish to be caught in a pincer attack from the reinforcements arriving along the coast.

After embarking their army back onto the fleet one of the Salamander ships managed to roll and event and found a fleet of 2 pirate ships which will in later turns hunt down stray ships!

The fleet chose to ignore the pirates and instead directly attack the Rhordian fleets.  The humans did not last against the superior seafaring skills of the salamanders scaly corsairs and the entire fleet was sunk without loss.

The elves did very little on their turn simply moving out of their freshly conquered salamander city and hunker down in behind city walls in the south.

Finally finished with their seafaring attempts the Abyssal Dwarves disembarked from the fleet and flooded the port city with slaves and slavers alike landing four full armies between the elves and salamander land.  The elves barely made it out in time...

Back in their homelands the lone defending banner managed to enslave 360 points into their army increasing the banner size greatly!

The Rhordians having fended off the Salamanders by land and being dominated by sea had a fairly uneventful turn.  Their scouting of the nearby forest simply resulted in finding a merchant and gaining an extra 3 baggage!

Sadly no battles took place this turn.  The Rhordians and Salamanders seem to have a new truce at this point.  The Abyssal Dwarves are poised to invade either the Salamanders or the Elves and the Salamanders and Elves are already embroiled in a bitter feud as well...
