I've been looking over the battle records of the late Admiral over the course of her career, and mapping them out, as well as sorting them by success. There's something peculiar, though. The Admiral had, from very early on, impeccable success for battles she attended. She had the most well oiled crews on all the seas when she was there to give the commands. But as her territory expanded, and the need increased to spread out her forces, her success stumbled. Crews without their Admiral simply didn't perform as well, and though she was a brilliant field leader, high minded strategy was something she performed well enough, but did not exceed in. But then, there's an abrupt change. Battles start going her way even when she is not present. Not just success, humiliating, CRUSHING defeats began to be doled out en mass. Strategies no one had ever even thought of, or dared to attempt, effortlessly sweeping away the enemy. Largely, this was against dissident lowblood rebel factions. The reprisal brought upon them was swift, bloody, and without mercy. It bothers me though. What prompted the change? A sudden strategic epiphany? I would love to believe so, for so great was her talent, but something about it just doesn't feel right. Puzzling.
