Thanks Truper! You were rampaging in my lands for awhile - I didn't want to take your Valkyries and Dragon on without a Staff of Storms.

I have to apologize about the final battle. The VQ was in her own dominion, so when the rest of the troops fled she stuck around. By the time your troops killed the garbage troops, she was Quickened + Invulnerable + Breath of Winter, along with her Ethereal, Regenerating and Life Stealing and 0 encumberance, 4 candle dominon and 4 stars of experience. My main army was out trying to catch you, but she was just taking out the minor armies and got lucky.

She is really very powerful and quick starting = get her quickness and stoneskin, and she can take out most independents by herself. She was attacking by turn 5, and by turn 10 is pretty amazing (iron skin, breath of winter), and by 15 near unstoppable. Doesn't even need artifacts...
