@Xietor: A small garrison of Smiths stands no chance against a horde of Elephants, though I did manage to give a few casualties, which is still much above my previous expectations of a horrible massacre with no casualties on your side. Also, if civilized means loving small children a bit too much for comfort, well, I suppose LA Arcoscephale is the very height of civilization. For the EA Atlantis comment, are any of them at war with someone who has twice their province number, army size, and research, as well? I don't claim to be powerful, just that I'm exceeding my own (admittedly low) expectations.

@Zeldor: Still, they were huge for me since I'm admittedly a very minor power and it's a miracle I've lasted this long, considering I came into this war unprepared for anything Xietor threw at me. I'm still not ready to take on some of the stuff, like his Bane Lords. It'll be a miracle if I survive this war, being attacked on every side by three nations, all of which (except EA Atlantis I guess, so rather 66% of which) are more powerful than me. Even with the proverbial cavalry coming to my rescue and attacking Arcoscephale.
