Well, I think we stuck to our game plan, coordinated well, and reacted well a few things went to ****. Our wars were never really about territory control, although I'm sure none of us liked getting raided (Lingchih especially
). Basically the plan on every front was a) smash army b) stop recruitment (squat on forts) c) bring in a siege force and move on to smash the next guy. We kind of left qm to his own devices, since the map layout made it tough initially to get him support.
Lanka, you probably the most aggressive opponent I faced, which was great because playing cautious lets us build up an even bigger advantage. Initially I was supposed to kill you, but you kept on blundering into Niefel, and then we discovered Abysia and priorities changed. One thing I'd advise you to do is script and place your troops. Ganas are great for tanking Skinshifters and unkitted Jarls, and then put your sticks and stones guys just behind them on fire closest. A barrage of high damage missiles is a great counter to Jarls. You didn't face off against my lightning squads much, but one possible counter you could have used would be to leave the troops at home and bring out your recruitable air mage demons, casting resist lightning and then either skellyspam or thug equipment.
Abysia, I feel kind of bad for you because there wasn't much you could have done to save yourself. We felt that you were a pretty big threat to Niefel and lightning is pretty much the perfect Abysia counter, so...
I'll do more commentary after we play out the next few turms.
