An Caelum is finally vanquished. DragonFire11 put up a valiant fight.
I was quite lucky on the assault... my one flying unit, a well equipped banelord, managed to draw a large portion of flase horror and ghost wolf summons to himself so my hasted vine ogres were not tied up in the gateway for too long.
He managed to survive the battle, albeit blinded, and acted as a lightning rod as the rest of my army smashed its way into the fort. He was basically saved by the innacuracy of the wither bones cast at him, and of course, sweet sweet life drain. At that point, the advantage swung towards me as my surviving vine ogres and infantry flooded into the fort and slaughtered Caelum's heavily fatigued mages and pretender.
Over all between lightning, orb lightning, wither bones, banish, frozen heart I lost something like 40% of my troops, but thankfully no commanders.
Good game Dragon!!! Sorry about the long build up before the assualt... I was REALLY paranoid after the drubbing you gave me the last time I tried to go in there
