How to beat 15 Pythium mages plus lions and wyverns

Middle Era, yes? Hmm.

The bad news from him would be a communion. I suggest you read baalz guide to communions from the Strategy Index.

Going first is the benefit of the defender. So I wouldn't be in a hurry storm the castle. Let him try to break your siege. Set up your own communion, if possible.

Consider burden of time. Set the tax rate to 200; keep a small screening force, and pillage with the remaining.

Bane venom charms if you have no living troops.

Thanks.

Yes, I have set up my mages in a huge reverse communion but he can do the same I presume.

I do not dispose of much time either, maybe 4 or 5 tuens tops as my opponent allies are ganging up on my own ally and I need to free up my army to help him.

But the more I wait the more creatures he can summon. I could also keep cramcking banes and behemeoths but I need to bring them from a lab.

Supply wise I think he can wait as he does not have much in the castle, so he does not have an incentive to break the siege. In the mean time he can research and summon away while I wait.
