Caelum has a largish empire it seems.

But it sounds like you have a warplan there.

Fortunately Caelum seems rather small, ca. 15 provinces.
But they get +60% Gold income from the difficulty, and they have a castle everywhere. So they can hurl 200-300 troops at me each turn and replace them in 1-2 turns .

Caelum is the 2nd-smallest AI empire, only Ulm is smaller. Ulm seems to be wiped out very soon, they have only 2-3 provinces left

Ulm, always getting the short end of the stick.

"Early summer in the year 4 of the ascension wars"

No noteworthy battle this turn, we killed about 200 Ermor/Caelum troops and took 10-20 losses.
Caelum has massed though according to the spy report 280 troops in one of their castles on our border.
The spy report can be very wrong, the actual size might be 50-200%, so 140-560 troops.
I decide to leave my Army in Ecnaphale nontheless.
Our gem stockpile dwindles quickly. The iron corpse reanimation project used ca. 150 earth gems last turn. In 2-3 turns our stockpile will be completely depleted.
Our death gem stockpile is dwindling too, we use about 40 each turn but gain only 19 per turn. Next turn we have conjuration 7, so we can summon the earth kings then.

"Summer in the year 4 of the ascension wars"

Blarg. Caelum fliers had much luck and killed 4 necros in 2 battles. We won both battles though.
Hm earth kings are now conjuration 8. So we cannot summon them yet .

"Late summer in the year 4 of the ascension wars"

No AI attacks this turn. Nothing else that would be noteworthy happened.

"Early fall in the year 4 of the ascension wars"

A stronger caelum attack.

We won, but the casualties were high.
Caelum has finally softened up our border defense too much, a bit too early for my taste. Time to give march orders for the iron corpses to the front to crush Caelum once and for all (hopefully).

I don't understand. If they have so many fliers, why not attack your more exposed provinces? It's like they just have to take that once province of yours.

Yes, it's AI.

Btw, notice how many national troops they are using instead of indie rubbish they used to have in Dom2.
