The Dlords have executed a decisive siege break in Elgea in a short number of hours, claiming that the operation cost TUF leader Agalloch close to 1 million in troop losses. Both Dlords and TUF officials provided details on the siege, which was on Dlords’ Bargnothaltros’ city of Orc Prison Probationer, as well as the siege break.
TUF officials note that a blockade arrived at 07 Apr 2016 22:24 in the large forest southeast of the city, which was broken by Bargnothaltros just a few hours later. The siege on Orc Prison Probationer was broken by Dlords’ Skybreaker on 08 Apr 2016 12:44, and the entire operation was purportedly hit hard by “intense stalwart resistance from the start.”
Dlords reports more or less corroborated the TUF report, with Dlord leader Belegar Ironhammer noting that “the siege lasted for 8 hours. The blockade lasted 4 hours.”

Two opposing forces clash against each other.
Bowmen hate it – and even cavalry units have difficulty moving purposefully to attack forested terrain. This is, however, the natural provenance of the footsoldier who excels.
Suffering the same problems as attackers, defending cavalry and ranged units intensely dislike fighting in forested lands. Like the attackers, however, the extra cover and confined spaces is favourite amongst defending swordsmen.

The disagreement over the battle appears to be in Dlords’ claim that, “In the last 12 days Aga has lost about 1 million troops.” Later in GC, Dlords’ Smoking GNU and TUF’s Agalloch and recent city destroyer ajqtrz sparred over the issue:
[13:37]<Smoking GNU> we just killed about a mill troops this morning from someone trying to siege a city in our homeland
[13:39]<Agalloch> a mil?
[13:39]<Agalloch> you overestimate
[13:39]<Agalloch> i dint send 50% of my forces i send less
[13:39]<Agalloch> so put on your seat belt this ride just started
[13:39]<ajqtrz> well, I’d be rather afraid of anybody who had a million troops and could just send them willy-nilly at your homeland….one has to wonder what else they have…and be very, very afraid….LOL
[13:40]<ajqtrz> Maybe you should quit now?
[13:40]<Smoking GNU> lol
[13:40]<Smoking GNU> hahahaha
[13:40]<Cormoran> that sounds like you’re trying to bully him out of the game, aj
[13:40]<Agalloch> lol
[13:40]<Smoking GNU> my cities in the homeland are always open to any siege, gentlemen
[13:40]<Agalloch> we dont bully, we bury em instead
[13:40]<Lord_Johnny> hey GNU
[13:40]<ajqtrz> Observations, Cormoran, just an observation.
For Dlords, this was a key siege break, revealing the alliance’s ability to fiercely defend cities in its tightly-clustered homeland. The decisive siege break may reveal how difficult it may prove to be for TUF to raze cities aside from the opportunistic few that exist in the Broken Lands.
