How does retreat work anyway? Say I cast Creeping Doom for a bunch of 50 moral things, then retreat my caster, will the 50-moral-things keep fighting with 0 commanders on the field?

Mindless units will stop moving and have a 50/50 chance of disintegrating each turn if they don't have leadership. Oh, and they'll have the routing penalties to attack and defense too.

If no one else sees what I see when I look at that, far be it from me to try to draw further attention to it. I've already done more than I was obliged to, and frankly more than I probably should have, given who's at war with who. Ultimately, it's not me who'll be suffering from it. Your funeral, and as we all know, Ermor loves a funeral.

(and then he dies)

No, but seriously, I thought we would have managed to destroy Ermor a long time ago. The thing is, your main stacks are so huge, your sacreds so beefy, that the build-up never ceases, and in the meantime you spread diseases and get more ghouls. But I am confident your dark reign over the T'ien Ch'i homeland is coming to an end.
As for the golem, if you know what I could do with it, please tell me. Right now he is a frontline army warrior but he failed at that for its first battle (wrong positioning maybe). With its gem price and mind hunts to pay for it's not like I can afford a squad of them.

Ah-ha! I figured out what needed done with that wretched, awful giant markata sprite I made. Well, aside from making it look less shiny.

I give you... a vanara Freak Lord:

As I said, the markata freak needs more texture - I think the massaging I did looks broadly okay for a tiny pixel image that got its size tripled, but it doesn't look good. It looks like some of the lingering not-so-great pre-Dom4 graphics in vanilla, and not in a good way.

Why not a small markata riding a medium markata riding a giant markata?

Oi, can we agree to a permanent change in hosting period from 48 to 72, or maybe even 96 hours?
It's usually getting postponed to about that much. And I must admit that playing a constant whack-a-mole with three nations is starting to feel somewhat emotionally draining. I'd love to have an extra day or two where I know I don't have to mull over a new turn.

Whatever makes everyone the most comfortable, its just a game and all that...

That said, does anyone not have fucking nature + blood buffs, jesus christ man. All these sacreds that laugh at normal armys...

You don't see me raiding your inland with stealthy pans or something, its just impoilte as heck.

This round was just a pure goldmine - Aquatic only animals on the battlefield on the ground, with no breath items, that silly fight... can't even be mad about the loses.

What lesson is that? I haven't used any skelly-spammers this turn. The one stealthy attack was against 'one officer an a few henchmen' province, and it would have been a win if not for the Atavi chieftain deciding to creatively reinterpret the 'stay behind troops' order.

And you know what's impolite? Invading somebody in a half-arsed fashion.

It's harder to simultaneously re-appropriate the hard-earned spoils of your "allies" if you go whole-arsed, though. Plus, you might get blood on your hooves.

What, Ethereal crossbow against that kind of MR? Might just as well play the lottery.

Invading somebody in a half-arsed fashion is all i do though : /

... and then i give the provinces to my allys.

btw: as for hosting, going for 60h seems fine.

Choosing not to deal with ermor is choosing to let ermor win. Its as simple as that.
