ooc- Well keep in mind that I had ordered the army to retreat, so there really was no fight. Now you might be curious as to why I gave that order, and even if you are not, I am going to tell you anyway.

Eh, you have clearly underestimated my strategy. I knew you might pull the retreat trick.( I have used it myself against the AI) I also knew you might try to break the seige that turn despite the fact I had no intention of storming just yet. That's why I left behind an army just big enough to rout your God(I didn't even want to kill your god directly anyway), knowing he would die in the retreat. The fact you had set your commanders on retreat just played into my strategy perfectly.

Trollman: You might be right about the retreating units being assigned later thing, as that seems to be the only logical answer.

AdrainP: When the difference in the number of provinces between our two nations is smaller, you can talk about strategy. Truthfully, as a small nation, it doesn't really matter what you throw at me, I had no chance of survival to begin with.

Don't sell yourself short, you could have made a comeback if you played more aggressively when we first fought. My armies were being devastated by your god and mages. You could have held onto Kailasa if you wanted and sued for peace after destroying my third army( which was my last one in the region at the time). In fact you could have taken a huge chuck of Kailasa and I wouldn't have been able to stop you for a least 7 turns. My armies were short of sacreds and mages at the time, so you had a chance to double your territory and then entrench.

Even assuming that I could have beat back your forces, such an action would have got T'ien Ch'i knocking at my backdoor. You may not have known, but when we were having our fight over the Kailasan capital, T'ien Ch'i sent me a death threat. There was and is no possible way for me to take on two powerful nations. Secondly, I did not know that was your last army in the area. For all I knew, your troops would just keep pouring in. So further aggression would have gotten me one thing: destruction.

I told you it would work.

My God, Shadow blast sure is a nasty spell.
