DYOS 6: Quest for the Mods' Fridge

The Battle of Aberdeen
The Battle of Aberdeen by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My third submission to DYOS VI.

While DYOS 5 had shut down by the time I'd finally read it through, I considered myself a veteran spectator. What marred the greater portion of that thread was the inability for Stylesrj and @GenMarshall to ever truly compromise story-wise, as each successive comic sought to one-up the other. Such a setup was inherently toxic and doomed to failure, as the premature deaths of DYOS 5–9 readily attest. Thus I knew that if I wanted to make such daring leaps as this, I'd have to remain flexible; hence my total roll-over for Kan' in this (at least partly motivated to impress him since he's been a top tier player since DYOS 1 and I wish we'd see more of him).

All of my DYOS 6 comics have been reuploaded as PNGs for superior fidelity. Until late in DYOS 10, I would save the original image as a bitmap and upload a second copy with better compression. Until DYOS 9, I was saving them as JPEGs, which occasionally resulted in degraded resolution even though I always tried for maximum quality. This comic is one unequivocally improved by the reupload; the text in the battle report at the bottom bled into the background in the JPEG version.

Kan' Sharuminar © himself. The fight scene is from Medieval: Total War; I had the game at the time, but what's seen here I pulled off the 'Net.
