Sub needed for TC in 4.07 if anyone is interested. I am another player in the game (Ulm)

Holds important territory and has good research, turtled much of the game. Not a dominate power but should be something there to play with. Sitting on the only lvl 3 throne, so important even if it would be hard to win.

And not with a bang, but a whimper does Marge go out.

I am immensely disappointed that they didn't cast flaming arrows and delayed curse of stones so late.
Would it have mattered? No.

Going AI to everyones relief I'm sure. Good luck teams.

I was wondering how long it would take before your troops charged out of the fort in desperation. A few changes to your orders and you could've done a lot more damage. As it is, you mainly killed only summons that I can replace in a single turn at negligible cost. I have to say, I was expecting a lot more fireworks, more powerful spells. Of course, considering everyone was starving to death in your castle, except, apparently, Innocent, one can't expect too much out of them, I suppose.

Thanks for playing, Margrave. You may have ended with a whimper, but you were a terrifying, writhing mass of crossbows and fireballs for most of the game.

The morale hit due to starvation was what ended it so quickly, the knights barely got a chance to fight and the mages only cast a few rounds of spells before everybody got the fuck out of there.

That and I used to have double that on the field but I had no money to pay for them, so they slowly drained away. Aaaand I think I may have left them in their "defend castle" layout. Oops.

Sorry about that, but I didn't see any reason to actually charge your castle early in the siege and give you a fair fight. No need to take unnecessary losses, after all.

Your lumber construct actually saw to it that the Knights and the last squad of crossbows fought on after the general rout - I think the construct outlasted the knights, so they at least got themselves a proper last stand.

Haha, gotta do something with that rather nice capital astral gem income and recruitable S4 mages.

At any rate I suppose it's just me poking the giant outside my door by this point. That particular poke just happened to hit where it hurt. :P

Just dropping this in here for now. Just in case, a five hour extension would be nice. I planned to finish and submit my turn today, but ended up busy.

Cheers to tompliss, yeah. You were so prickly we ended up domkilling you instead of trying to dig you out.
