Turn 46
Forge of the Ancients was cast adding hugely to my forging program.
4 blood slaves were captured in Gol Phalas, another 5 in Kolermegor and 2 in Dunheim.
Acashic Record cast on Wicker Woods revealed 3 magic sites – Damned Merchant (+1 blood slave), The Inverted Tower (+4 air gems, can recruit Illusionists) and a Brigand Lair (increases unrest by 5, can recruit villain).
An ill omen was seen in Faran.
Ulm attacked in Giant’s Rest. Their forces consisted of 20 militias, 20 Infantry of Ulm and about 15 archers being lead by the Ulm pretender (Moloch), Terminus the Merc-Assassin and a Siege Engineer with 5 sappers. I forgot to move my mage with his 2 Ice Trolls and 1 Otherness to The Two Woods, that’s why he was there with the 21 PDs. My mage managed to paralyse the Moloch, but sadly my troops were not able to take advantage of this since they were outnumbered and defeated.
Glisas easily defeated the PDs in Witches Copse.
My troops met roughly 130 defenders in Monherboa – 40 crossbowmen, 30 light infantry, 20 Infantry of Ulm, 20 militias and 10 guardians being lead by 5 Siege Engineers, 4 Priests, 4 Commanders of Ulm, 1 Master Smith and 1 Lord Guardian. I was fielding 15 Illithid Soldiers, 7 Vine Ogres, 8 archer/crossbowmen, 5 knights and 7 fodder being led by 2 mages, 1 2H priest and 1 Illithid Lord. Except for the fodder I just lost 1 Vine Ogre and killed 88 troops and 6 commanders.
My armies in The Two Woods were met by 45 regular Ulmish troops (mainly 30 crossbowmen and 15 Infantry of Ulm) in addition to about 25PDs, while my forces numbered 80 troops (about 40 archers, 30 heavy Infantry and 10 knights being led by 2 mages and 2 priests. 1 enemy knight managed to break 25 of my archers (reminding me why I prefer summons in my armies). With the help of some Fanaticisms my heavy infantry and knights were able to break the Infantry of Ulm and the crossbowmen shortly after. In the end 36 troops and 3 commanders were killed while I lost 10 troopers.
My armies in Pythium faced just 4 Theurg Acolytes, 1 Hero, 1 Triarius and 1 Serpernt Lord. All but 1 Acolyte were enslaved
Atlansha summoned a Greater Otherness.
Pythium was destroyed.

Updated province information:
I am not sure about the name of Ulm’s capital, but would have expected Ulm. Maybe it is Nicia or Ulm got a fortress there for some reason, but I will siege it anyway.

Mainly I reduce taxes by 10% for each 5 points of unrest/raise them again when unrest is going down.
