Shademail Haubergeon I'm guessing? I was figuring I had another turn to breach the fort, as you'd be theoretically teleporting your Pretender in, but with that force that was just a pipe dream, a cobbled together force of all the lizard mages I ever recruited bar a few...
Now, since Eyes of God was in fact 'dispelled' this final turn, everyone can see the score charts now yeah?...
I really should've screenshoted them earlier to rally support...
Now, my list of regrets:
The only thing I learned about my tactics is that turn one defensive earthquakes hard counters it. Nothing you can do about that at all really, unless I blitzed Construction 8 for the Sword of Augelmer for its autocast of Will of the Fates. And with a heavy communion trying to equip every single mage with an anti-quake item is prohibitively expensive... The two major battles I had, one was a cobbled together mageline which your archers unerringly shot at. Lucky at targeting the guard squad I guess... I appreciate you not quaking it into oblivion though, I'm fairly certain you had a lab with which to resupply. The other? I must've assigned one slave too few or something... Set off a Fire Storm without a Fire Fend as a result. It was as self-destructive as it was helpful.
The fact that I truly and utterly overcompensated on that one army for the Throne of the Elements... That set me completely on the back foot there... Well, that and my delays in initiating that assault... I was waiting on Lanka, we'd make a coordinated assault with him being bait basically... Should've just charged in, I would've preempted his invasion of Tir na n'Og. Yes, wouldn't have quake resistance then. Or any heavy defensive measures. Or the +9 morale (or was it +8?) commander of awesomeness. And I would've had a huge target on my back as Marverni wouldn't have made their power-play. But I'd still have Fire Fend, Heat From Hell, Fire Storm, Relief, Mass Regen, Flame Javelin Spam, and a whole lot of Pillar of Fire casters... I spent like 30 minutes on that formation too, making sure that every Auger was neatly in that box, no more than 3 to a square.....
But oh well, Well Played I suppose, Hinnom never anticipated you just taking his throne huh?
