Faction - River Zora

[MoonlitVanguard]

i cant do it, I CANT!

Ive spent a long time on this campaign for zola and its been the most memorable for me so far but ive hit an absolutely unwinnable situation.

a 5 to one war. 5! Labrynna, Hyrule, Moblin, Ordonna, Kokiri, all of them hating only the venerable river raiders.

And this is after ive taken over the lizards, and ikana. outnumbered normally by an average of 4-1 and winning cant save me from the wealth of the western world.

They just have a birth rate and diplomatic immunity i do not. Having no commerce, no religion, and no diplomacy really makes this the hardest ive ever tried saving an doomed empire.

Makes me miss the days of the old crash bug for this faction. Back then we were true raiders, growing stronger with each conquest. A roaming warband pillaging and reaving where we pleased with no regard to borders. now look at us.

any.....tips on how to get gud?

Did you use any mercs and/or npc factions?

[MoonlitVanguard]

Lots and lots and looooooooottttts of mercs, they were responsible for many strategic victories. Tokay hunters were the real stars,

javelins obliterated large heroes in the early game and have a special place in my heart for that. Garrisoning the northeast as far as

Horon and as far southwest to Moblin territory.


After taking out Labrynna and Lizalfols, Hyrule and Ordonna sent wave after wave to take me out. (Ikana and the Moblins sent petty

raids in comparison) In a daring raid after we both were exhausted in manpower until I found the recruitment places for Rouge Hylians,

Keatons, and Forest Thieves. Mustering up what i could i sent a large force of these sellout Hylians to raid their capital, sacking it for all

its riches. In a series of battles half won by these mercs, the Hylians were forced to retreat to colonies in misery mire.


Far far later in the great war against Lanrayru Province i took the lessons from the Hylians and applied it to these monsters who had

ate up the Gorons as well as the zora dominion, making them far richer than i could ever hope to be. After the battle lines were drawn

and they sent legions to the slaughter I took a gamble. Fully stacking one army and sending it through wizzrobe territory, my raiders

found the north coast largely undefended. We burned the cities and demolished the infrastructure, filling our coffers and relieving

pressure from the front as they tried to stop the slaughter. That is until i found the geru macemen. With their help i kept the north

weak enough to push the enemy deep into death mountain,starting a trenchwar. Eventually they broke out of attrition and then it was

on to fight the world who hated me so for doing this.

With enemies like these, who needs allies?

No npc's, I would be hard pressed to recreate this success with truly nobody on my side, paid or otherwise. Mercs were the only allies I needed.
