[PvK]

Turn 15:

Fighting back, forth, and through (my cut-off army managed to fight its way back through C'tis, and half of them even made it back without afflictions), I have been keeping at 5 provinces. I was fortunate that Caelum showed up complete with maticore pretender and started mopping up the desert with Pangea.

I'm now the lowest nation in all the stats except research. I've got four Fiends of Darkness, a Jade Athame, and a Sanguine Dousing Wand, a general, 4 mage/priests, my pretender, 55 troops and 36 slaves. In these wasteland provinces, one must be careful with the slaves or risk starvation - I'd think the slaves would be the Last ones to receive food...

I lucked out and FOUND a soul contract that would ordinarily require 80 blood slaves to create.

I think though that part of the hard time I've been having, is due to the tough start of 12 near-impossible AI enemies on a fairly small map.
