OK, bad luck for me that we started so close together and your first movements took you south rather than east. But if your army that found me and arrived on turn 5 had 70 troops left after fighting indies, presumably that was the army you had on turn 2? How did it get so big, or how were you able to reinforce it (more travel distance) in turns 3-5 ?

I only had cheap monkeys (not sure how many), mercenaries, and ~10 holy troops with the starting group. I was able to reinforce it each turn, since it was always within 1 move of my capital.

(PS: I now dislike marverni troops, slingers are so weak, and they dont seem to have anything special going for em as a nation, unlike e.g. Mictlan or Ermor or Vanheim).

I agree with you about the Marveni troops. They seem underpowered when compared to some of the early beasts like Jotunheim or Ryleh.

Now there is nothing for Lanka but to fade into gilded obscurity in the middle game, much like a cannibalistic Netherlands....

Lol, please clarify that remark :-) This is the first time I ever see anyone associate the Netherlands with cannibalism... and I assume you mention something like this because my email address shows that I am Dutch ?

Heh, sorry, I did not know that you were Dutch. I picked the Netherlands because I think of it as a nation that had amazing early successes relative to its size, and then had a relatively peaceful retreat from a global empire to well governed nation with (I assume) universal health care. Another reason for the Netherlands it that it is incongruous with Lanka, like the Shire is. Hopefully I've avoided an international incident.
