"Late spring in the year 4 of the ascension wars"
Only minor battles this turn, most likely the situation won't change for some turns. The attrition-wars have started.
We easily defeated a caelum attack in Ecnapale:
As long as caelum has not at least 200% of our troops they usually do little harm.
Talito was attacked by both Ermor and Caelum:
Caelum and Ermor have left enough troops though, so we cannot counterattack.
It is not problematic though, since i can still grow by taking water provinces and a few indy land provinces. And i got my accashic caster, so my gem income will increase a lot too. Preparing a second accashicer also.
I redecided my use for the tomb oracles. I will use them simply for massive raiding with this plan:
They first reanimate a huge horde of skeletons, when they have 500-1000 they start marching deep into enemy territory with them and serve as support mages in the battles by skelspamming and blade winding. Once their undead numbers drop to <300 they dig in and reanimate till they have enough undeads again for further conquest.
I summon them now at a rate of 2 tomb oracles per turn. 1 tomb oracle reanimates 7 longdead per turn iirc.
So this is currently irrelevant, but in 20-30 turns i will have a nice amount of skeletons per turn i get for free
.
Iron corpse reanimation started this turn too. I have 400 earth gems to waste
