Got to wonder why I got blasted. I mean, I only picked a Green Dragon, Dominion 1, no scales, and Return of the Raptor theme.
Looks like I took great care in backing up my Pretender... but I backed the test Pretender.
Still, I don't think I would have done much better with a genuine Pretender. My Seraphs have been unable to take weakly defended enemy provinces. *Grumbles* The birdies are so feeble.
