In other news: I updated the original game post to include the new replacement players. Long live the new empires!

Ok, so when 50+ heavily armed and armored Ermorian legionnaires are utterly crushed by under ten opponents without even inflicting one casualty, that to me signals it's time to throw in the towel. Oh, and the attack came from a neighbor who announced to everone that they didn't intend to involve themselves in any wars at this time.

I hearby cede what little remains of my lands to Pangaea. All gems and money will go to Atlantis. These two empires have dealt with me amicably and haven't resorted to the kind of scummy lowlife backstabbing and kicking-when-they're-down antics that other, more imbalanced nations have.

Surely the fates will smile upon the honorable and righteous nations mentioned above, and smite down those who spit in the face of honor and are little more than lying, petty, vile thugs who believe themselves strong and convince themselves of this fact by harrassing the weak while hiding from the truly strong.

Remember, life is but a string of consequences for our actions and the choices we make. Dishonor will haunt you and cloud your visage far longer than you can imagine, and your consequences have only begun.

I believe honor and light will win in the end, though the road will be long. The citizens of Ermor, disenchanted with the rule of Aurelios, who slept while they died, have taken up Pangaea on their offer of peace, though they know even under the rule of the forest folk many years of war lie ahead before true peace can be achieved.

May glory and victory follow the hallowed footsteps of Pangaea and Atlantis, and may Neifelheim and Vanheim know naught but pain, suffering, and the sour taste of thier own lack of dignity and integrity.

For the sake of all great nations, do not be so foolish at to believe any words that come from Vanheim or Neifelheim, as they use deceit as the foreguard of their armies. If you attempt to deal with them and expect honor, you will be woefully digging your own graves.

Ermor salutes you. The Senate is disbanded, and the people look to Pangaea for guidance. Goodbye.

An offering of truce has been sent to the ruler of Neifelheim over the unwanted skirmish on the Shirak Steppes. Unfortunately the six months of C'Tis inactivity leaves the nation poorly equipped to deal with a determined onslaught of Neifel Giants. Know ye all that should the terms of the truce be rejected by Neifel, the nation of C'Tis will fight honorably to the demise of its last serpent citizen.

Greetings Noble Kydorias,
I accept a truce, but with modifications only.
You offered a six-month truce. I offer you a longer one, since I really don't have any intentions to kill you. The time period should be until my inprisond pretender will be free. Then we will talk about a longer peace, or even alliance. In the time of truce I'm open to any trade discussions.
You offered me 200 Gold and 25 Death Gems. I need neighter, so you can keep it and use it as you wish.
I took Koron's Gate (36) from you, but I will leave there NO forces and you can take it back. We both know why this province is so important for you. In exchange I need two provinces that are far less important for you, but they have strategic importance to me. Those are 30 Black March and 15 Mount Zhiva. And I ask you NOT to take Last Climb from independents. If you agree please tell me as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot,
DreamSlayer

Alright, I wasn't sure the etiquette on such actions. If Ermor does drop out, I will start arranging the ceding of provinces to pangaea.

(In Character)

Recently Pangaea was approached with a proclamation from the peoples of Ermor. The Senate had abandoned the peoples, leaving the nation in turmoil. The people of Ermor have nominated a new leader that brings word of wanting join Pangaea in merriment, forgetting the recent hardship of war versus the powerful Vanir and Jutons.

Pangaea considers itself on neutral terms with both the nations of Vanheim and Neifelheim. We would like for this transition of power to be smooth and without conflict with either nation.

You will find that if Pangaea rules over the former Ermor lands, you will have a trustworthy neighbor that will work to protect the stability of the area. The former Senate of Ermor can attest to this.

[WSzaboPeter]

The Sons of Winter are courious of what the Pangaean could bring to the former Ermorian lands. Until you raise sword (or sickles, or whatever weapons the satyrs and centaurs use) against a giant we will not attack you. By the way you could send some Maenads into my provinces, since the Jotuns would love the seight.

[Whollaborg]

Haa, great jokes our woodland friends start telling, We wellcome thee to the lands of former Ermor. Which are Vanir properity by right and of which we already gifted Jotun giants provinces.

Perhaps you have not found out that your hostile pack of centaurs (10+commander) who were offencively sneaking in our port town were swiftly slaughtered and none of the Vanir perished as usual.

If you wish, please send us more sneaky, backstabbing visitors and find out how our people bringing the true death won't be as clumsy as yours

Cheers,
Jörund, the prophet of True God

Lord DreamSlayer,

Your terms are overly generous and I gratefully accept your offer. I shall withdrawl my forces from Black March and Mount Zhiva, and I shall leave Last Climb undisturbed. I intend to also reoccupy Koron's Gate.

I salute the fighting prowess of your powerful warriors and exemplary battlefield leadership. May you face victory in your upcoming battles on other fronts.

Ughhh! Yeah, that is rough to take a catastrophic loss like that. Particularly so from a nation that said it was at peace with you.

That said, in dominions, almost anything is possible on the battlefield when the combination of units, spells, etc, is just right. In fact look at the example of the SC (SuperCombatant). There you will have a single fighter able to defeat hundreds of opponents - entire armies - by himself.

But as with all things in dominions, there is no strategy, no unit, no SC, that does not have a counter that can defeat it. If you could give the details of the battle: the units involved, spells, etc, perhaps I can offer some useful comments on tactics that would help you defeat this kind of attack in a future game.

Might I point out Ironhawk, Whollabug had actually pointed out when he joined that he is NOT a newbie.
