War in the south
Madness! Madness! A back-to-nature cult has taken over Ulm and is destroying our great nation. It's complete anarchy! Mobs are roaming around the nation destroying anything that resembles civilization and planting acorns.If only the army was here to save our great people.

Good thing I am not playing this to win or I would have just screwed myself. Playing a suicidal game when it is not necessary is a first for me and I admit it's pretty funny, though I doubt c'tis appreciates my humor.
My huge battle against c'tis pitted 2 300+ man armies against each other. His side: his god, a lord of summer plague,several behemoths,sirrushes,vine ogres, and many many mandragoras; and of course recruitable troops and about a dozen mages(spamming skellies). He even had a bane lord.
My side had a ghost king(who was worthless since he didn't follow my script and just stood in the back instead of attacking),some ulmish meat shields and a half dozen crushers and about 200+ missile units with wind guided flaming arrows. Oh yeah, I almost forget, I also had 72 master smiths casting blade wind and magma eruption.
I lost 34 men while he lost over 300. I think I might have engaged in a tad bit of overkill. I seriously thought I might have lost this fight because I have so much inexperience fighting humans and I greatly overestimated the strength of his army.
I also must mention I am greatly disappointed in the fighting prowess of bane lords. I am making several in one of my other games and now I am reconsidering in how I was going to use them.
I thank zombie for a great battle and hope to engage him some more.
