Hilariously unlikely combat

[Fate]

I played a game as Arcoscephale against Abysia where I tried to shut down his uber-blessed armies by assassinating (Oreiads) his commanders. He had numerous mages and one Warlord from the beginning of the game.

My Oreiads never lost a battle to his mages, but whenever that warlord was in a province my Oreiads ended up fighting him and losing. I lost 4 Oreiads that way before I gave up trying to kill his commanders.
