Good game Tannath. And yeah if you did have control of your turns you wouldnt have been able to do anything while under siege and no mages to summon troops =[.

But basically I put spies in all your provinces so I could take advantage of my flying 3 strat movement of my demons to hit all your weak areas and then pop the tax rate to 200% because I would leave it. At the same time I kept summoning more demons and got my pretender geared up with items. Then when I had double your troops I went for the intercept of your armies.

The war was inevitable anyway because I basically had to expand your direction and you to mine unless you wanted to fight jotum or ulm. Also the war was a good learning experience because I know that mercs suck against players, it is not as easy to predict what province you will move to like the AI, and that spies are very important.
