The Abysyan generals were planning since some months the invasion of the Manchurian empire.
In fact the chinese armies were blocking our expansion as planned, and our cumbersome and slow infantry will have spent so many months in forced marches to bring them is a good attaking position to overrun some duchies north-west of Abysyan homeland.

Scouts and infiltrators were sent to spy the enemy defences and army organization.
Meanwhile a fortified position was built in a chokepoint, to spy too the enemy moves in the standing valley.

But meanwhile the Abysyan military was preparing for war something new happened. The main army of Manchurian Empire was falling back pursued by an army composed of a lizard creatures lead by an huge wyrm.
The two big armies maneuvered for months giving time to Abysyans to launch a massive hunt for virgins and sacrifice them in order to bind hellish creatures to the fiery people. Sadly this choice brought away resources to our research and development team.

The confrontatio beetween the two stranger armies come at his end when the reptile army in an attempt to outflank the Manchurian one tried to make a bridge of ships using a small isle as intermediate column of support, chased by the Manchurians. But at the middle of their work the lizard spotted a fortification on the other side of the sea corner. And this fortification have an Abysya flag on his towers.

Closed beetween a neutral power as Abysya and the manchurian enemy, the lizards choosed not to have a double-front war and returned back from their bridge of ship, engaging battle with the Manchurian army awaiting for them.

There was a big clash, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the Manchurian army was dispersed and routed.

This was the time that the Abysyan military warmachine started to move.
Our scouts have reported that the Manchurian officers had found many magical sites in their land, and that those lands are poorly defended by villagers and led by some burocrats.
Those provinces were easy prey for our hellspawned creatures that flied above the enemy fortress that held our main border, taking by surprise the poorly equipped manchurian garrison, meanwhile the abysyan infantry advanced through the valley and come to siege the borderline fortress.

Having dispatched a regiment for the provincial defence of the new borderline, our troops not seen by enemy, caught by surprise a Manchurian vanguard, meanwhile the chinese military answered advancing to menace our undefended northern borderline, forcing us to dispatch our flying forces there to prevent the fall of one of our holy temples of everburning fire ... but shall they come by time?
However a quick mustering of local militians has been already done.

[This AAR could provide some infos about Abysya, C'tis and Tien Chi ... something you can see by graphs, other no, but let's try to bring this game to a general AAR for fun, for everyone, if you agree with that]
