TUF-Dwarf Smackdown! Sieges A’Plenty Light Up Server

Just on the heels of a new siege staged by TUF’s Karl Aegis on Dlords’ Gori, the server erupted in a flurry of activity between the two enemy alliances, with new sieges, exoduses, and siege breaks highlighting the day thus far.

Aegis’ siege was preceded by a double-team siege by Dlords on viperone in Lan Larosh:

viperone [TUF]	Hiding the Stepladders	[-655|-419] in Lan Larosh	Jack Aubrey [Dlord]	Mon 25 Apr 08:59
viperone [TUF]	Hiding the Stepladders	[-654|-420] in Lan Larosh	Belegar Ironhammer [Dlord]	Mon 25 Apr 09:00

While Lan Larosh is known for the dense forests in its interior, the periphery of the region is dominated by plains. The Dlords’ sieges are set up on plains, as are their blockades, however, TUF’s defenses are thinner in Elgea, which may make it difficult for them to effectively stretch cavalry to the siege camps in time.

TUF’s Karl Aegis Targets Dlords’ Gori in Azura

TUF is continuing to take the fight to Dlords in Elgea, despite the dwarven alliance’s robust footprint there. The most recent siege involves TUF’s Karl Aegis laying down a siege on Dlords’ Gori in Azura. News of the siege flashed across GC earlier:

[12:25]<System> ** News Flash: Gori’s [Dlord] large town of 4. Helms Deep is now under siege by Karl Aegis’ [TUF] burgeoning city of Harmony’s Perch

Followed by an official posting in the siege section of the Herald:

Gori [Dlord]

4. Helms Deep

[-582|-794] in Azura

Karl Aegis [TUF]

The siege may be a difficult one for Aegis, as the siege and blockade are both on plains sieges, which are usually susceptible to cavalry strikes. In the case of the Dlords, however, where cavalry is not the race’s strong suit, the choice of a plains siege may prove to be more viable.
