"A Song of Ice and Fire", veterans-only game, MA. In progress, midgame...

I do think it'd be more satisfying to have you grab the requisite VPs and actually win, but it probably wouldn't be in your strategic interest to do so. Might as well just wear us down

I agree, I think it would indeed just wear us down. And BTW missing VPs could relatively easy come from Ermor and TC territory - I wouldn't even have to push your or BL's armies back in order to gather remaining VPs, unless I would intentionaly choose to go down that road.

Yeap, it was my top-secret research and manufacture facility. It has heavy patrols to catch enemy spies before they had a chance to look at it, as well as magic domes. (it was dangerously close to my pre-war borders) the one turn ago it also served as my tartarian summoning/healing factory, where my 6 (Death 7) liches and Chalice were located. It has 20 site forging bonus. I've located it pretty late in the game, but for the last 6-7 turns I've been producing 50 items per turn there using 49 dwarven hammers and one Hammer of the Forge lord.

Surprisingly enough I haven't found (or conquered) any other bonus sites in my entire territory, despite searching everywhere.
