Dark Star Dominion (DSD) forces, this time led by Roman Empire (RE) leader Yodadoku, have initiated a second siege against SHARK in the Newlands War, once again opting for a target that is not located on the Newlands peninsula. The Herald reported the new siege, which is targeting Worker’s freshly-renamed city of “yodadoku suck re suk:”
| Worker [SHARK] | yodadoku suck re suk | [-769|-2151] in Aindara | Yodadoku [RE] | Sun 27 Sep 08:13 |
This current siege also has a blockade on the northwest square adjacent to the city, and surprisingly, Yodadoku opted to siege from a plains square as opposed to a small hill square. Plains afford substantial terrain attacking bonuses for cavalry — a likely advantage for the purportedly cavalry-laden SHARK. Conversely, small hills offer relatively neutral terrain modifiers for all troop types and are generally considered a more viable option for siege operations versus plains.
Meanwhile, there are new developments regarding DSD’s first siege launched by T-SC junior officer mjc2. As of yesterday, the siege does not include a blockade.
A Note To Combatants: When a city is razed or when a siege is broken, please send those reports to the Times via the Illyriad forums so that we can receive confirmation of the offensive/defensive victory. Thank you in advance!
