It's borked for me too... I seem to recall that Mose's troubles were lessened when the gamecount was diminished.

Seems to be back up now.

Jotunheim is now in real trouble thanks to my pretender dying in a Province-Defence-forces-invincible-SC-to-retreat incident. I knew I shouldn't have tried to defend that province, but you buggers did your turns too quickly and I couldn't get home in time to change my orders...

ouch, staling cost me my pretender...

How come none of my mages are in the Hall of Fame? Seems like they kill 20+ every turn I wish you could check kills on non HoF commanders.

So, now there's a 430-unit Marignon army adjacent to me. I bet it has loads of sea trolls, and they have too many HP / too much regeneration for Blade Wind to wipe them out when they get hit by about 1 blade every 2 turns. So I'm doing a fighting retreat: Earthpower, Blade Wind, Blade Wind, Retreat for my dwarves and Thunder Strike, Thunder Strike, Retreat for my air-3 mages (reinvigoration keeps them from passing out... I hope!). Hopefully I'll kill a couple hundred flagellants, my mages will retreat unharmed, and the remaining enemy will starve in their newly-conquered 3000-pop province before attacking again.

Here's a question... I have some Astral-2 Air-2 mages. What's best for them to cast, Solar Rays, Starfires, Lightning Bolt, something else? I don't have Orb Lightning, and it's too short-range, anyway. They're going up against a pack of 50 starving and diseased archers and slingers (should average about 2 morale).

What research levels do you have?

Evocation 4, Construction 4, Conjuration 5. Drain 2 with expensive mages is tough
