New Kinda Noob game Starting

[Finalgenesis]

I agree with mockingbird.

You only lost an army of sacreds composing of less then a third of your total forces from the charts, but still retain most of your cap mage thugs which are a lot more important and representative of a nation's power.

It's really not uncommon to lose armies (god knows I get my armies popped often enough and take chart dives like crazy). You've recovered much of the raided provinces and popped quite a few raiding parties and putting up stiff resistance, I can't honestly see the point you're at as being the point to drop a game due to hopelessness =/ I've gotten to 3 provinces before and made rebounds after that, and even if not hanging in there builds a rep for being tough (and not ...).
