Yes, I intentionally ignore tarts. I could easily get to them, but I am bored. I had over 100 of them in Utopia. I want to see EDM in action.
I wanted to hurt your blood eco with horror raiding as much as possible. But it looks like you adapted to it and my results are not so great. Any army with at least some storm demons owns horrors fast. So I can't use horrors to your your armies with fear.
Manifestations - yeah, I even killed some of my own scouts with them

But I think I managed to kill 2 or 3 dakinis this way.
I am probably losing more resources than you, but I can afford it, with much bigger gem income. I think that it was a strategical mistake for you to attack Sauro, instead of waiting and accumulating power to deal massive blow at once. I would have been at war with Pan then probably.
