Kazakhstan's government placed four-page advertising inserts in the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune last month, countering Borat's portrayal of the ex-Soviet country as a backward place.

Borat said Thursday the ads were placed by agents of neighboring Uzbekistan and threatened to "commence bombardment of their cities with our catapults," if they do not stop.

Imagine trying to shoot down an airplane with a scorpio. I guess magic could help a little bit, but you'd need a lot of specialised magic to really make it happen.
In an open field, no less. The lack of intelligence on display, in multiple senses of the word, is staggering. As Sun Tzu said, "if you know neither yourself nor the enemy, you will succumb in every battle." And hoo boy, does this Prince not know himself or his enemy.

Oh look, the Crown Prince and the Centrarun Kingdom just hand delivered a shipment of scrap metal. Kind of tacky to use dead bodies as the delivery method, but metal is metal, and it's not the metals fault the Centrarun Kingdom has become terminally stupid.

Unless it can make it transform into an AA turret, no amount of magic is going to help here. It was designed to be used against stationary targets and can be quite accurate if you know what you're doing, but it can't handle moving ones, much less airborne.

I didn’t see anyone mentioning this in any of the two threads… but wtf is that speech!? “Everything these nobles have are only borrowed from the king, and he can take it all back as he please!”
… so… every nobles that side with the king are also in that situation? Everything they own, their ranks, their powers… at the whims and folly of that emotionally unstable king?
… I feel like if the nobles would hear that, there might be a couple more that would switch sides…

A couple more defeats like this and there won’t and their morale will be less than zero. Amy is only mind controlling a few people, isn’t she? Could she use her powers to mind control a large number of people so they won’t give up? :thonk:

Honestly, it might be better to bomb the whole lot of them to oblivion. I know hostages are valuable and such but there can be no good in letting that damn saint and hero live.

Even in ww2, AA aren't even that good at actually shooting down prop planes of that era (until allies developed proximity fuse by the end of the war.) These guys are up against basically a jet plane with some roman era's tech :dogkek:

I wonder who all those horsemen in the last page are. Nobles?

I imagine they have some choice words for the prince who led them into a crushing defeat. Their supposed "counter" to Allen's machines are useless, so the kingdom is completely at the mercy of Allen and the Ramsletts. There's absolutely nothing stopping them from bombing the capital into oblivion.
