Darkovia seems more and more alive with each addition, 12Rounds!

It makes me contemplate what weapons and technology, Agadul has integrated into the Darkovian military. Considering the mongol hordes of Qashya Mal being the leading military force in the region, I'm sure much came from their - very curious.

I like that he is also an emmissary to Calishem - somebody ought to make a map of that grand merchant capital, someday...

Great stuff, Kimmo!

Well ... to my mind Darkovia seems a dark and backwater place. I would think that prince Casimir is not interested in conquest and matters military and has thus not paid attention to how Darkovia can hold up against aggression. In essence I had the feeling that prior to general Adagul, there were little organisation in the army and basically Agadul's predecessor just had a horde of men based somewhere in the vicinity of Casimir's castle. What Agadul has done, is that he may have introduced doctrine-based light cavalry units that are both combat-trained and that use good quality horses and have switched wood-tipped spears to more modern weapons such as cavalry sabers and perhaps bows of Calishem design. He could also have detailed a new organisational structure and outpost-system that would make command and control decisions quicker to execute and more accurate. Perhaps he has managed to advocate the social standing of soldiers as well in turn resulting in better quality soldiers joining in the ranks.

Just thoughts really and of course everything is up for debate. Darkovia has no chance against Calishem per se, but I'm thinking there are many smallish neighbouring and rivalling nations in the area. As there are not yet more detailed maps of the Darkovia surroundings, this is all subject to change.
