The situation at the walls is always changing — new intelligence from the Eastern Lords, new tools for the garrison, and new pressure on Valdenmere's border.
Dispatches from the Front
Recent Dispatches
Wall Placement
Manually position defensive units — archers, crossbowmen, pikemen — on specific wall segments and tower slots before each wave begins.
Resource Management
Balance timber, iron, and grain between repairing walls, upgrading towers, and feeding your garrison across multiple siege waves.
Wave Reading
A pre-wave scout report reveals partial information about the incoming attack composition, rewarding careful preparation over reaction.
Breach Response
When a wall section falls, you must quickly redirect interior reserve units to plug the gap before attackers flood the courtyard.
Garrison Morale
Each defeat, prolonged siege, or resource shortage lowers morale, reducing unit effectiveness until a successful defense restores confidence.
The Siege Never Truly Pauses
The Eastern Lords do not negotiate between campaigns — they regroup, and each dispatch pinned to the war room board reflects a conflict that is still moving. Recent intelligence confirmed that Fire Cart tactics were tested at Coldfen Bridge following the river's late-autumn low-water period, a maneuver the garrison had not anticipated and which prompted adjustments to ranged unit positioning rules at that crossing. The Free Garrison's contract terms were also renegotiated after Dunvast Keep's prolonged blockade exposed vulnerabilities in mid-siege payment windows, and those terms now reflect the hard lessons commanders paid for in grain and morale.
