Darn tootin' straight he's a class A thug. No afflictions, just like I predicted (hoped for, more like it). Then he goes thru your army like butter... okay, maybe not like a hot knife, but destruction was dealt out, a lot. Then he hit the 50 turn limit and retreated into enemy territory to die a horrible death (dummy, he didn't listen to me). Heck, just watching that battle I saw him get 1 experience star halfway thru.
So, I was down briefly, but as you can see I'm not quite out. Just wait until round 3. Da pain, da pain!! That's what your satyrs will be saying.
My predictions for afflictions? I bet 1, hopefully not 2. <crosses fingers>
