Default Your Biggest Dom3 Battle

As the title suggest simply post about your biggest dom3 battle so far.

Mine was playing LA ctis, i was at war with an aggressive mighty jomon and had an e10 bless on my sauros. The battle had(roughly) the following units:

50 Skele-spamming sauros(creating 250 longdead per battle turn) with +5 reinvig
10 Terror Spamming sauros with +5 reinvig
5 Smiting (well 1 did divine blessing) lizard kings
A 30 prot, +2 awe, fear+5, ethereal, lucky cyclops
15 Sages buffing my mages to help them survive
3 Wraithlords (wraith sword, horror helm, boots of quickness, lucky pendant and ring of regen)
A Gift of Reasoned devourer of souls with a lucky pendant and a ring of regen
800 Dispossesed
10 Troop Tartarians
300 Longdead
40 Wights

and on the other side:
A Wyrm with some random magic
A HUGE number of priests and lesser mages
A couple (maybe about 5?) stronger mages with a few trinkets each
Well over 1000 units, including a few hundred archers
A few cheaper summons

In the end i won, with my wraithlords, devourer of souls, longdead and terror casting mages quickly routing one flank while the dispossesed (who actually suffered alot to the arrow fire) and huge number of summoned longdead slowly but surely crushed the enemy lines.
I took fairly heavy casualties from his priests but it was worth it just to see the battle.

Dear god... makes me wish there were sprites for unit corpses as well. That would be an interesting screenshot! Speaking of which, how about a screen of these tremendous armies arrayed against each other?

I had an interesting blitz recently. Hunderds of units clashing... 4-5 times? Five turns from Tehblitzzz, with me as Bandar Log, DominionsFan as Jotun, Ianus (a new face) as Ulm and *Orz* as Pangaea. I lost. You'll need the Fourmageddon map to play this one.

As far as game settings, the only strange one was 125% resources instead of 100%.

EDIT: See attachment

For such huge battles screenshots and/or the turn files would be very nice.

I think I had two 500 unit armies clash once. But more than that I had a skelly-spam army storm a castle one time and they were unable to take the gate. By the end of the battle the left side of the battlefield was completely filled with skellies. Every square.

I need to play more.

The largest battle I had so far was some 300 units of Ulm storming a Tien Chi cast defended by about 200 units... Still, pretty impressive, when I compare it to the small armies I used in Dom 2.
