I assumed fliers don't have that reservation. Might be good idea to drop them on the flanks then i guess ?

I can't remember the precise details off the top of my head, but units attacking the rear have to pass a morale check or suchlike for every unit they come close to while moving to the rear - if they don't succeed, they'll veer over and attack them instead. That's the most common cause of "Attack Rear" appearing to be ignored.

I believed rain would shut down firestorm due to fatigue but it seems it was not enough.
Going over the fatigue caps doesn't prevent you from casting spells.

In fact, they might have it a bit. When playing Caelum in 4.05, I've seen fyers set to attack rear not flying to the rear-most units...
Also, some little things :
Units will set their movement the moment they can. This means units set to "hold & attack rear" will move using the means they have the first time they try to move (so gift of flight won't make them fly, at least not if the caster is lower then them in the unit list and/or he doesn't cast in the first turn), and they will target the units that were at the rear during thir first turn.
I've seen light cavalry used as decoy that way : put at the rearmost of th battlefield and set to guard a commander at the front, to be targetted by "(hold and) attack rear" enemies.

Just making sure:
This is your capital, right? The nations that don't have obvious capital names confuse me.

Hey, for 4.07 I need a sub for the week of Aug 2-9 (or longer, depending).  I don't know if its polite to post that here, but I figured I would.

I just noticed that both this game and 4.07 were delayed until after the weekend.

While I do not begrudge a needed delay, would it be possible for someone to post on the thread when one happens, particularly one longer than a couple hours? I expected to need to be available for a couples important turns today between the 2 games and it would have been nice to know when making plans these games were not running over the weekend and thus I would have a bit more free time.

Thanks

Yeah ...
I delayed both as lijacote isn't here for the weekend, and as I was at work, didn't take the time to post about it. :/

When does the game continue?
Because I'll be gone for the rest this week starting the day after tomorrow.

Tonight! Only 3~~ hours until I can do my turns I think.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

(Unless those ~'s are possible numbers, in which case we should be ready to wait up to 399 hours...)

Slight exhaustion had something to do with it!

I'm not sure if it's worth fighting at this point.
Something is really wrong about this game (I blame the premade map), since I barely had over a 1000 income (currently down to 581, with upkeep higher than that) even with 20+ provinces, due them being either mountains, wastes or both. This isn't even remotely enough to maintain an army as expensive as the Abyssian one.
