Aethyr - routing an SC is a classic cheap way to deal with them. I strongly advise against using something like that as support to a bunch of otherwise fairly unimportant scrub troops. He escaped that same fate previously when you threw up that insta-castle; now his luck has run out.
Wraithlord: having not paid any attention to victory conditions, I was a bit shocked to see (two turns back) that this game only has a 7 vp victory condition. I had completely forgotten about this, although I must have known at one time. Ok, so I'm stupid
It seems a bit sad for such an epic game to rest upon teleporting on someone's poorly defended vp, but I don't really see a good way to modify the conditions. Perhaps that one has to have the walls on an 8th breached before trying for the 7th?
