Great post Burnsaber.
I really lucked out that I had just researched flames from the sky. But it looks like I was even luckier that I chose to cast storm. I couldn't decide between storm and mass flight but in the end I decided I was better off fighting at the castle gates since I didn't have enough troops to surround you. I have no idea how the earth king died; it looked to me like he escaped but then I saw the message that I found the flying ship. It does seem unlikely that soul slay or paralyze got through that insane MR and he was still over 100 HP.
I'm even more confused that your AQ is dead since you put her on retreat and she was gone before my horrors attacked. She had two provinces she could retreat to; one of them my horrors cleared out but the other was still open. I had always thought that if any province was available for retreat you were ok. Does it not work that way? Maybe the game chooses a retreat province and if it's not available the retreating unit dies? Well, if she is dead it certainly cost me enough. What did I lose in the attempts, something like 8 mages or more and their magic items? And you're right: I had had enough of that and just decided to sit back and cast some horrors. I'm glad I didn't get to see the plan you came up with to kill my teleporters: as it was I was losing half or more of my mages with each attempt.
Now the mummy's back ... it's just an unending parade of SCs. And I know it's just a matter of a few turns until your GoH/Chalice-healed tartarians start arriving. But let me take alook at Chaga's stats, maybe I could oblige you by sending some horrors (it's less painful than losing mages in any case).
