Wow now that's surprising, my troops actually proved their worth

You should have fully utilised your flaming arrows. Guess it's bug that your archers rushed forward? Very nice battle. And those eagles attacked before main army that's pity

And your frost father was too vulnerable there. Did he have air shield on? Cause my archers did short work with him.

Lessons Learned:
I have no idea why the archers jumped into the battle. It was very costly. I wanted them to do what your archers did, stand back and fire at closest enemy unit with Flaming Arrows and Wind Guide. Their commander had orders to stay bethind the troops.
The mammoths routed at first sight of the TC troops, are they that ugly?
My pretender had an air shield of 80, he actually survived for a while - unfortunately he was one of the last survivors and was hit by numerous arrows at once.
The main unusual factor that had a negative impact was that many of the troops were hungry/starving so they were hit with a -4 morale modifier right at the start.

I'm casting Mother Oak now.

(I suppose that makes me the next target once Tien Chi is gone. Oh well. First, or tied first, to a global enchantment!)

Apparently the RNG decided to punish me and sent Bogus the Troll Raider and a gang of other heroes to take one of my provinces in retribution, even though I took a luck scale.

Yeah, I had something similar happen in my other game and it derailed my plans for 3 turns. Sympathies...

New Lesson Learned (for a newb);

I spent two turns with all my mages Calling Back my killed Pretender. I knew he would return weakened, but it was painful. He lost one level in all the magic paths he had, and since he was a (mini) rainbow Pretender it cost five levels in total, and he lost access to 3 paths.

Sigh....

Now we have to start the "Call Competitor" spell and revive Kupiko.
