Since Others have revealed - I am Bogarus.

And since there were some comments on my adventures with Niefel. I will elaborate. Was a fun part of game.

I experienced an early rush from Niefel which was really bad for Bogarus as I did not have an awake pretender and just the crap troops. I needed to get some mages produced and some spells researched quickly. Long story short I did get enough researched to put a hurt on him, but it basically forced me into 1 army. Meanwhile I was getting raided like mad as he could approach from 2 directions.

Where it got fun was when I finally destroyed 2 of his armies and thought I could take the war to him. I did only to find a Niefel army slip in from the other direction and get my capital before I could get back. That led to the most desperate part (which people commented on). I had no temple (Had to protect my only mage that could make a temple). Hardly any money (desertions every turn). I think I was down 2 3 provinces (2 of which had forts). Then in a fortuitous 2 turns I was able to get back my capital after a long siege (destroying an army of his in there), I destroyed another army of his in the field and destroyed a 3rd army that contained his Pretender. back in business! I then marched on his capital destroying another army in the process) and thought he was pretty much done. At that point, AI took over. He got his Pretender called back and had more in the capital than I expected. I had only sent a small army since I wanted to get back to researching and got my butt kicked. THen Marignon moved in and wiped up Niefel.

Twas Fun. Sorry for long post.
