I'd bet on the former. After all, I just used the income from Mother Oak to summon a Couatl (S3N3), have him forge a Starshine Skullcap, and cast Mind Hunt at you.

Somehow I have trouble believe that a hurricane would randomly strike my capital right after I annoy a nation with huge amounts of Air magic.

Hah. I got 1000 gold from extra good tax collection this turn.

Rather annoying. But Lizard Kings have 17hp and Sauromancers 12hp, so as long as it's not likely to kill my commanders there I can tolerate it. The main losers are the highly replaceable Longdead Horsemen with 5hp. And by "highly replaceable" I mean "35 for 10 gems".

Waste of gems/time - it only works on weak-minded commanders. None here.

I can't help your beliefs, I can only tell you the truth.

Good then, I hope they all have some good sunburn lotion!

Dunno whether to count that as a loss or a win. I lost a couple of commanders (mostly Shamans) and about 60 generic units against taking out 8 Eagle Kings, several of whom were well equipped.

Also, my Shadow Blast guys apparently can't aim for crap, since they fired a few times in the opening round and ended up with at least one AOE-10 spell that hit nothing.

Noob Lesson #213:

After a raid, move your unit to a FRIENDLY province, otherwise it is 50/50 that the raidee's rescue team will get to you first! Arghh...

Wouldn't have worked. The rescue team all teleported/trapezed in. I did that specifically to stop him being able to flee. Also, I was expecting you to throw in a lot more Province Defence, hence the Shadow Blast opening which only hit 1 guy.
(As an alternative, I was pondering 2x Seeking Arrow, but that's only 8 average damage and Eagle Kings have 19 hp.)

What annoys me is that your Eagle King raider fled, so I didn't get to loot his items.

Noob Lesson #214: Undead ignore Awe. If your enemy is raiding with Awe units, leave a death mage with summoning orders in every province where you can spare one.

Slightly annoyed that someone else got to all the cool artifact books first. Anyone want to own up to that?
