Enemy forces engaged: $279
Enemy losses: $137
Friendly casualties: $94

Repelling forces greater than our own with heavy losses?  Priceless!

The Retired Warlords are no longer retired!  (Unfortunately we are now even closer to being expired, but what can you do?)

"That is better, Prenthenil. Now we feel less like we are

But sir, you ARE putting old women to the sword!  

The Retired Warlords have fought many battles - and more than one was in defense of the homeland.  Every woman here knows the way of the sword.  Also, considering that the odds of a male warrior reaching retirement age are a mere 1 in 100 (it takes 20 battles to reach retirement status, and the average battle costs us 20 percent of our forces, so you can do the math...), whereas the women survive much longer because they only have to fight in homeland-defense battles... you can see that the Land of Retired Warlords is in fact mostly populated with the old wives of dead warriors.

And right now, every one of those old women is out there stopping your forces from plundering their homes. 

You should be mortally embarrassed at how, with the two most powerful nations in the world fighting against my ragtag forces, my army of old women beat yours to a pulp last turn!  In fact, you should just go home in shame and let my people have our lands back. 

We wouldn't want to have to embarrass you further...

You should never go up against an old woman fighting for her home! They fight dirty! Especially when you rename their homes before you've completely defeated them.

 Retired Warladies, we salute your attitude as well as your fighting 
 skills. Alas, our desire to pillage your grand tweed skirts to wear 
 upon the stout hurdies of our clansmen is too strong to call off the
 affray at this time.

I for one was wondering if diplomacy and common decency went down the [i]same[/i] drain.
