Trollman: You might be right about the retreating units being assigned later thing, as that seems to be the only logical answer.

AdrainP: When the difference in the number of provinces between our two nations is smaller, you can talk about strategy. Truthfully, as a small nation, it doesn't really matter what you throw at me, I had no chance of survival to begin with.

Don't sell yourself short, you could have made a comeback if you played more aggressively when we first fought. My armies were being devastated by your god and mages. You could have held onto Kailasa if you wanted and sued for peace after destroying my third army( which was my last one in the region at the time). In fact you could have taken a huge chuck of Kailasa and I wouldn't have been able to stop you for a least 7 turns. My armies were short of sacreds and mages at the time, so you had a chance to double your territory and then entrench.

Even assuming that I could have beat back your forces, such an action would have got T'ien Ch'i knocking at my backdoor. You may not have known, but when we were having our fight over the Kailasan capital, T'ien Ch'i sent me a death threat. There was and is no possible way for me to take on two powerful nations. Secondly, I did not know that was your last army in the area. For all I knew, your troops would just keep pouring in. So further aggression would have gotten me one thing: destruction.

I told you it would work.

My God, Shadow blast sure is a nasty spell.

Yea, especially when cast by a D10 PoD

I was at the receiving end of more than a bit of the shadowblast action. It killed a lot of guys, but the loss of 21 leaders probably hurt Sauromatia a bit more.

Shadowblast requires gems. If they don't have access to laboratories, they won't have the capability to throw in more shadowblasting in subsequent battles.
