: I think, and some other military nut go over this, but I
: believe the Cath Bruig have pulled back to Llancarfan
: because they can't hold the other cities now so longer
: destroyed we don't even know them anymore. So Connacht
: is the first to defeat them in open battle, in the
: field...although I still have to wonder why a pack of
: highlanders from nowhere are able to do better than
: the soldiers of the finest empire of Myth. Regardless,
: the Cath Bruig are holding on to Llancarfan and any
: other heavily fortified cities because the Myrkridia
: can't really assault them. What are they going to do?
: Tear down walls that would make Constanipole look like
: a backwater with their claws?
Given time, they don't need to. All they need to do is eat all the peasant farmers /surrounding/ said heavily fortified city and let them starve: a fact which is only exacerbated by the influx of refugees from other, fallen cities, and which we do, to an extent, see in Myth3.
