When a nation with strong duelists sends a fodder duelist to battle, they're hoping to intimidate the opponent into thinking that a strong duelist is there, forcing a duel forfeit, even though the duelist sent would not have won. That is a fodder duelist.

I understand, but I don't comprehend... how one side would willingly jeopardize their chances of winning. Oh well, if it makes people happy...

Last phase, between Archonate and Nameless Lands.

The gather intel caused a normally very strong duelist to change spots with someone with almost no dueling potential.

It's been done quite a lot in the past actually. I'm fairly sure that a lot of times it's done to give a Victory/Regiment Experience to a unit that would be hard to raise another way.

You're right, so it did, my mistake.

Well they were NPCs so a death wouldn't be a big deal, I imagine the admins have the sense not to just kill someone who wasn't suppose to actually take part in a duel not that they've said any duel deaths will occur at all anywho.

It also means if the other nation backs out from a duel (fearing a strong duelist instead of "fodder" duelist) then they lose soldiers. I believe this would be called "bluffing" and would provide benefits rather than pointlessly throwing away a nations chance of success.

It's simple, lets take Tinto for example. Now they have some very powerful duellists and so an opposing nation may well refuse a duel knowing that they might come up against Iscalio, Ced or Exile and lose. Tinto know this and so may well place a weaker unit in as a duellist to gain some REX/VC for that unit, gambling their reputation will intimidate people into refusing the duel.

It was just an idea taken from Godasov's death, for it to truly work out there would need to be some equation which to base the death % on to.
