Dlords Break TUF Siege; Heavy Use of Ranged Units Reported

The Dlords have broken TUF’s recent siege in Elgea, quickly staunching the most recent siege in a long pause in the war. An anonymous tipster provided details of the breaks to the Times, indicating that elfs bane’s siege on Gladys AxeWright’s city of Forest of Jean was broken by Dlords’ Jokielle at 23 Apr 2016 at 05:54.

Jokielle was also reported to have broken the other siege headed by TUF’s Nikodemos at 23 Apr 2016 01:09. The tipster specifically reported that “many of the attacks came from Jokielle, including large ranged unit armies.”

The terrain for both sieges would have been unfavorable for use of bow units, since the small hill affords no bonus and a large forest penalizes the use of bows by -20%. It is possible that the siege break may have been costly for Jokielle, earning poor ratios in exchange for the siege break.

TUF has positioned their sieges on a small hill and forest, which will prove daunting considering Dlords’ close proximity to the city as well as their stalwart ranks. At the time of this article’s writing, units that looked to be cavalry speed were seen streaming toward the siege on the small hill.
