[Sihoiba]

The WeatherToffs sneak a large flying force into Escotia.

1) The WeatherToffs know the location of Escotia forces from their last action.
2) Escotia has a VAST EMPIRE meaning there is a too much territory for them to defend all of it against intrusion.
3) Escotia has an INVINCIBLE NAVY and DISCIPLINED ARMY but a lack of a flying force.

[Iylzara]

The Queendom of Frank accumulates a VAST TREASURY

1: The Queendom of Frank is MINERAL RICH
2: The Queendom of Frank has a SMALL ARMY (Low upkeep)
3: The Queendom of Frank has a LARGE SCALE MINING OPERATION

[WaterMonkey314]

A clarification - do COUNTER ARGUMENTS have their own rolls for success?

[Shusagi]

1) The WeatherToffs know the location of Escotia forces from their last action.
2) Escotia has a VAST EMPIRE meaning there is a too much territory for them to defend all of it against intrusion.
3) Escotia has an INVINCIBLE NAVY and DISCIPLINED ARMY but a lack of a flying force.

Yes, and as a benefit of their alliance they are assisted by Andwoidia's EXPERIENCED FOOLAMANCER

[Nihila]

Risun uses aggressive diplomacy to coerce Andwoidia's NATURAL ALLIES into new alliances with Risun.

Reasons:
1) Risun has a TRADE NETWORK.
2) Risun has a FANATICAL ARMY.
3) Andwoidia's EXPERIENCED FOOLAMANCER, LOYAL ARMY, and POWERFUL SIEGE are occupied with the WeatherToff's attack on Escotia.

Yes, BUT due to the VAST EMPIRE of Escotia, the WeatherToffs only succeed in sneaking a LARGE SCOUTING FORCE into a far-flung colony of Escotia far from the home isles.

Reasons:
Escotia has a VAST EMPIRE; its colonies are across Erf.
Escotia is an ISLAND NATION; its home isles are separated from its colonies.
The Weather Toffs have FAST SCOUTS well-suited for a pointless incursion into Escotia.

[LTDave]

A clarification - do COUNTER ARGUMENTS have their own rolls for success?

Yes they do.
Both a "Yes, but..." and a "No, actually..." are rated and rolled off against the original argument.

Only a "Yes, and..." doesn't get its own roll - it helps the original argument succeed.

Yes, And due to the vastness of Escotia, and the turbulant weather that neccesatated Escotia's MASSIVE NAVY, the SCOUTING FORCE is reduced to 1/10 of its numbers
Escotia has a VAST EMPPIRE
Escotia is a tropical ISLAND NATION
The Weather Toffs are unsuited for ROUGH WEATHER

[WaterMonkey314]

I feel sorry for Lt_Dave now; keeping track of all these counterarguments is making my head hurt.

[Daemonwelsh]

hehe.
Though I do have to say, mine wasn't exactly a counter-argument.

And I have always believed, that alliances are formed through actions, not just words.

[Sihoiba]

The Weather Toffs are unsuited for ROUGH WEATHER

The Weather Toffs are named after famour weathermen, so this amuses me.

[LTDave]

Just waiting on BLANDCorporatio.

[Nihila]

Well, mine isn't so much a counter-argument as a THREAT.
