Okay, turns 10-12 here.
Ogres turn 10- Well, unfortunately I'm too short on cash to immediately begin construction of a fort on the longbow province. However, I am sending my slave giant and hero to try and take that stubborn indy province to the east. I'm also sending my Dragon to see if I can grab a few more indies to the north.
Ogres turn 11- Well Brettonia has effectively finished off TC. I think I'm going to see if I can make nice with them! As you will see once you review the turn, my attack on the Eastern indies didn't quite go as planned, but turned out all right. I also have enough money to start my fort on my new border with Brettonia, and I will be able to do a little more expansion with my dragon to the north.
Ogres turn 12- Things continue to go well. My dragon takes another province, but I'm going to take him back to my cap so he will have max hp when he attacks the next province, which has knights in it. I also have some more bloodhunting provinces coming online, which is always a good thing. Best of all though, Brettonia's magic domain has spread to my henchfiend factory, improving my research
The only worriesome bit for me is the lack of response as of yet to my diplomatic overtures to Brettonia, and Atlantis having already reached that other island I was hoping to conquer.
I'm also attaching a screenshot from turn 11.
