Thurfir, an advice.
If you went to 155 and wanted to save army, didn't engage, enter the province, set your army all behind with retreat oder.
C'tis capitol will return to his owner due to castle inside.
So unless C'tis was coming into 178, you'd have all your army saved.
If C'tis however has gone in 178 you'll get wiped out even without fighting.

For Pythium being weak in late game, I'd laugh at you. Pythium is far stronger than Abysya, with communion you can cast a very wide range of massive killing spells of ANY kind. Pretty difficult to find the right resistances against Pyth even for SCs.

The use of 1 PD in every province. If you've 0 PD, you don't see the battle, and you know only the enemy has taken you the province.
With 1 PD that costs 1 gold only, you see the battle, you know at least the exact enemy army composition, and what items they've.
With 5-10 PD (costing respectively 15 and 55) you gain:
Some chances to resist to a single scout/assassin and perhaps the hawks. Some PD can hold wolves too like Ulm PD.
With 10 you gain some not pop killing patrol and better chances to resist hawks and wolves.

I've played Pythium a couple of times. I think ( but I could be mistaken ) that I know what I am talking about. Pythium's late game is crud. Sorry. It blows chunks.

Blood OTOH is solid in the end game.

Pythium's only shot for the end game is clams. Or somehow develop a blood economy and hope that as the blood SCs get poped that you can claim them.

Everyone talks about communion being great in the late game. It sucks. It is *super* in the early game. It crushes in the early game. In the late game the big armies are asking for a spell to wipe them out.

Really? How about an AMA and a ring of tamed lighting? That sounds about right. That is all you need.

Please stop with the crud. You got handed a huge chunk of amazing lands. You have only 3 neighbors : T'ien Ch'i, C'tis and Jotunheim. T'ien Ch'i is dead, someone else killed all of his troops and now you have all of his lands. C'tis is simply not a factor. Jotunhiem took a long time to get started and I have no idea what kind of a factor he will be.

Of course we will play it out. But barring some kind of crazy accident it's pretty clear to me what will be the outcome is of this game.

Said like a true veteran! Kudos, Cohen!
