That was probably my first bad turn of the game. Besides the ~500 I lost to Atlantis, Man killed about ~500 undead as well, which accounts for my army dip (produce about 700 chaff per turn). Seems like the casting AI didn't want to follow my script in the Man fight.
@ Frozen Lama -
Note to self: "Work out what the bloody hell happened with shark attack in that fight with Atlantis." The sharks totally ignored you and just made a beeline for my guys. Not sure if that was the rigor mortis, sharks natural loving of undead (because there's lot of meat on them isn't there

), or sharks loving of Atlantians. Maybe LA Atlantis troops have built in shark repelent or something?
