The stinging bit was about the assault on Hinnom yeah
Atlantis caught more of the same, but sadly their big guns all had thunder rings so they didn't lose as much as you did.
And I'm already dead for all intents and purposes : no money to buy new mages/kings to replace the ones I lose, and not enough gems to summon troops to protect the ones I got.
Not that troops matter that much when they get atomised by Basalt Kings left and right, but...
