Well Cainehill if that's not even close what what "madcastling" is, then I'm REALLY against it.

Though to be honest I'm really just bitter and at a loss at how to counter the type of units I went up against.

There have been several threads over the past months regarding countering Caelum. I suggest doing a forum search on Caelum and (re)reading them. And also doing a search on Vanheim, so that you can play to its strengths. Vanheim is a strong nation and one of the better ones for countering Caelum.

That's part of what Dom2 is all about: going through phases where you're frustrated because you can't figure out anything to do against cavalry, then being frustrated because you can't deal with devils, then being frustrated because you can't deal with SCs - there's always a new frustration around the corner.

Frankly - you shouldn't have done as well as you did. Leading an army of troops that are all starving and half diseased isn't exactly a great strategy. Worse, you brought a bunch of non-stealthy troops, and you refused to abandon them, thus saving your Vanjarls and whatnot. (Note that your prophet got killed, not by my native troops and commanders, but by an army of mostly water trolls and ichythids, with a few mages mixed in.)

You could have brought (bought or forged) supply items, which would have allowed your troops to do much better. There's a number of other things that would have helped and been wise for you to do - but since I've no doubt this isn't over, I'm not going to tell you what you should do to have a fighting chance against me.

Well, except for one tip: Try not to start wars if you don't have a plan for how to win.

Oh - my apologies to everyone.

FM_Surrigon - if you wish to continue this, feel free to start a new thread. What we've done is a prime example of how to drag a thread further and further from its intended subject matter.
