Well, of course. But thanks to previous work of my high priests and Lizard Kings, I still had 3 dominion, despite lands further in having less.

It's just that cowardly snake running away. If he'd stuck to script, nothing would have touched him. Still had ten morale, as well. So, now my best Sauromancer is lost to the abyss. You'd think that if you had a second out... but no, I got the lizard with the courage of a filthy mammal.

It's the retreat that killed him. I did have a spare territory for him to move to, but apparently, the order of the battles left him nowhere to run to. That's what's so painful... Not only did he run, but in a way negating my twiceborn and my plans... Well, at least my chariots managed something.

Currently, duke_commando is winning the race for most entertaining comment. He's ranked first on the hidden 'humor' page of the score graph.
