"Got Blood?" -- BF Ulm AAR (Newbie)

[Scott Hebert]

Turn 8

--

Short form: All battles won, no casualties taken. Always a good thing.

Rexor's Barbarians leave to try to get rehired (with 1 barbarian, I hope someone does). Black Bones's Pirates are available to hire.

Albrecht, the Member of the Second Tier, joins me in C'tis, and Sethenana, an SD Fortuneteller, joins me in Ulm.

Akesta has an Arena.

To deal with unrest, Cun Aral has its taxes set to 50%, Zanthrast to 60%, and Akesta to 40%. This should eliminate unrest so that taxation can return to normal levels next turn.

Unit Orders:

Albrecht Sneaks to Zimmria (at 6.7k, my best Bloodhunting province to start).
Karl moves to attack Bitra.
Dante and Arnaud move to attack Frygia.
Irma moves to attack Dothian (the other province between me and the Machaka province; I have Dominion there now).
Sethenana is commanded to Research.
Ulrich is reanimating Soulless in Zanthrast.
Evita (my SN Fortuneteller) Forges an Ivy Crown.

Purchase Orders:

I spend 85g to rehire Dante's Stingers (22 men left).
I spend 90g to hire a Fortuneteller in Ulm.
I spend 160g to hire a Member of the Second Tier in C'tis.
I spend 30g to hire a Commander in Fenatice (it will take 2 turns).
I spend 10g to hire a Morningstar Infantry in C'tis.

Research:

My research is currently focused on Construction to get up to 4 ASAP. My research levels are currently:

Conjuration 1
Alteration 2
Construction 2
Enchantment 1
Thaumaturgy 1
