If the target province has a lot of commanders, I think the chance for the Ashen Angel to turn on the sender is low. I haven't used them extensively ever, since they are so expensive, but maybe I'll know better after this game.
A great point about the drain scale! I never realized that horrors and the scale are connected.
The retreat bug: considering that there was also the discrepancy in the playback, is it possible that you are running an older version and playing your turns using the selfsame version and thus not seeing it? A lot of my tactics involve retreat, so I'd like this fixed, if possible

Looking at that turn, Jurri, I couldn't decide if it was worse for you or for me.

Heh, so you're comparing losing ~400 gems and almost 30 turns worth of specialized mage-time in items and commanders to losing an 80 gem global, that already paid itself back three times over? Dude, there's no huge pile of gems, I'm sure you won't even notice the loss of the Well with all your earthblood stones, you'll undoubtedly take well more than Boron's lands (you already have an unbreakable army heading for my central holdings), and there's no endgame army, except amassing in Ulm. Go on, tell me that multitude of devils isn't an endgame army, I dare you!
Your lies have won over the spineless Aku and Boron, but I'm sure Pasha will give you a taste of your own medicine with an Arcoscephalean dagger in your hunched back! Or rather, in your stomach, since he's no pathological backstabber, unlike some
Just ask yourself how good a comparison is a country that has had only one nation attack it during the whole of the game (the brave Pasha)and a nation that has been ganged on twice. I don't know about your strategies, but when I'm ganged on, it dang well shows; when I'm not, it shows too. I find it ridiculous what you and Boron have repeated for twenty turns, that you, who have 70+ provinces at your use, and I, who have about 50, could be at a even nearly same level of power. Much less so that I would be winning!
Dude, you're a great Ulm-player and your diplomacy is obviously second to none (looking at the cowed Aku and Boron), but if you manage to lie Pasha into attacking me in this situation my hat will truly be off to you!
