For me on the mercs, I didn`t have the income to spare, as my commanders were much too important not to recruit.

Assimilation helped some with astral when I took over Arcos, but I was also summoning spectres who gave me some astral as well. Thats when I started mind hunting.

One other note to my AAR, after the dragons ridge battle, I never fought Ulm again on the large scale. He did have dragon ridge swelling with troops/scorpion beasts though. We more or less see-sawed some lands. I think the biggest army I encountered was in the south had 95 troops plus commanders.

I put up a large army in Arcos for when he did strike from dragons ridge.

I would love to hear his account of the battles as I didn`t know I had him that badly off. Even when I had him down to 11 provinces, I figured he was stronger then me.
