Re: Need help - I am screwing up (again)
A standard (and kindof game-themed answer) is that against an enemy pretender, use temples and priests. Against the power-base scales of an enemy nation (cold/heat/death), use temples and priests. And against an immportal pretender DEFINETLY use temples and priests (and prophet and maybe even your pretender). Do NOT allow him to push his dominion into areas he wants to attack.
Also, consider a salted-earth policy. If you feel that you might lose those new provinces then tax/plunder/slave-hunt the wealth out of them. Particularly castles. If the unrest goes higher than 100 then no units can be built there. Milking it for what its worth and him taking a castle that he cant rebuild his spent units at can give you a chance to return shoving him inside that worthless castle for a long seige he wont be able to shake. Turns a castle into a big mousetrap (you might want to destroy labs and temples on the way out)
