Troubling Times: Game over, Marverni wins

After a long and bloody struggle with Hinom, the Mighty Empire of Ermor is finally on the eve of triumph over the giant menace.

It is a good time for the young empire, its now-elite legions continue to pacify more land every month, and the new faith has taken hold strongly in Gomorrah, once the seat of the mighty giant race.

What better time to announce our new crusade to bring (Ermorian) civilization and culture to the savage borderlands:

The strange tribes of Mictlan are said to eat babies and bathe in blood! Surely this is an afront to the new faith! We thus declare the Mictlan lands that border us to be a protecterate of Ermor...in the name of peace and civilization .

Edit:

BTW, Good game Graeme (might as well say it now), you played well and it was another good fight. I think it was unlucky for you that my opening strategy happened to be very well suited to countering giants and thugs, I surely thought I was screwed when I realized who my first neighbor was...but it turns out early mass-smite is a dangerous thing for small, elite armies

We do have to stop starting next to each other in every game though since this is like the third time in a row now, heh.
