"Early summer in the year 4 of the ascension wars"

No noteworthy battle this turn, we killed about 200 Ermor/Caelum troops and took 10-20 losses.
Caelum has massed though according to the spy report 280 troops in one of their castles on our border.
The spy report can be very wrong, the actual size might be 50-200%, so 140-560 troops.
I decide to leave my Army in Ecnaphale nontheless.
Our gem stockpile dwindles quickly. The iron corpse reanimation project used ca. 150 earth gems last turn. In 2-3 turns our stockpile will be completely depleted.
Our death gem stockpile is dwindling too, we use about 40 each turn but gain only 19 per turn. Next turn we have conjuration 7, so we can summon the earth kings then.

"Summer in the year 4 of the ascension wars"

Blarg. Caelum fliers had much luck and killed 4 necros in 2 battles. We won both battles though.
Hm earth kings are now conjuration 8. So we cannot summon them yet .

"Late summer in the year 4 of the ascension wars"

No AI attacks this turn. Nothing else that would be noteworthy happened.

"Early fall in the year 4 of the ascension wars"

A stronger caelum attack.

We won, but the casualties were high.
Caelum has finally softened up our border defense too much, a bit too early for my taste. Time to give march orders for the iron corpses to the front to crush Caelum once and for all (hopefully).

I don't understand. If they have so many fliers, why not attack your more exposed provinces? It's like they just have to take that once province of yours.

Yes, it's AI.

Btw, notice how many national troops they are using instead of indie rubbish they used to have in Dom2.

Yes it is definitely an improvement, and with patches + modding, the AI can be extremely good, trust me. I already have many ideas how to improve the AI with modding, and it will work. Not that I play too much against the AI, but still, many people are focusing on SP, so they will like our TC mod. Not to mention that it will have the good old fantasy races, such as the elves, dwarves etc. with totally new unit gfx etc. etc. etc. so the MP fans will be also happy. [Well when the mod will be done, since making a TC mod for Doms 3. will take huge amounts of time, but I will work with 4 other people.]

What's a TC mod? Anything you can do to improve the AI (without giving it cheats) is a good thing.
