Turn 8
Arco fielded about 40 defenders (all except 4 from PD, looks like the AI raised it quite a bit), but despite being pressed my 1st division was albe to beat them while losing 9 spearmen.
My 2nd divions meet with about 40 Arcos (mainly militias and light infantries with some heavy infantries, flyers and chariots) in the Marshlands and was able to route them. 1 Helhirding was lost in the attack.
The 3rd division took Feldan Forest from the indies without any losses. There is an arena in Feldan which provides 25 gold.
Niefelheim has 30 militias/hurlers to the west of Fenica who are supported by 5 giants and 1 Gygja who is radiating power.
Sauros forces of about 60 lancers/archers moved to the southeast and might attack me or take the indie plains of Hubbarton which I consider mine, but at the moment there is nothing I can do about either Niefel or Sauro.
The second Hanga will help with the research while I recruit 1 Helkarl and 7 HHs for my 4th division. Archers/heavy infantries will be recruited in the other provinces again.
The 6 remaining Helhirdings of the 2nd divison might not be enough to face the reported 60 Arcos (militas, light infantry, bear tribe warriors) in Rotmarsh and I send them to support the siege. Either those Arcos will come to me anyway or wreck some havoc in my lightly defended provinces. In this case I will use my 4th division with its 14 Helhirdings to mop up.
1st divison will continue its siege while the 3rd will attack Oak Woods and either join the siege or retake the Marshlands (if Arco takes it) on the following turn.
I try to recruit the Farstrikers merc band in my capital for 165 gold in order to progress south and secure my southern border.
Since I am fairly sure that I will lose either the Marshlands or Citala to Arco this turn I set both taxes to 200%
I would love to build some temples/forts, but at the moment expansion/destroying Arco seem to be more important.
