Fresh from exterminating Marignon's ruling class, and capturing the capital, my southern expedition outreached its supply lines and ran into those blasted hoburg mercenaries. And a huge swarm of flagellants has cut off the captured capital from re-inforcements. Still, at least they're not sieging Arco any more.

In another huge battle, more of Marignon's finest throw themselves at the Jotun troops. But the power of Erik is too much...

Shame about Angerboda, though. Remind me never to use magic duel again.

Magic duel is useful, so long as you use cheap astral mages vs. expensive ones (for instance astral Vaitti hags are excellent mind duelers).

Meanwhile the people of Marignon brace for vengeance upon the lord of Jotunhiem...

You can also magic duel safely if you have 5 or 6 astral levels more than your opponent if I'm right. Like an astral 9 pretender.

That is also true, you always win when you are 6 levels higher. However, most of the time I would not script such a pretender for mind duel, as ther are better things to cast with that much magic (and you never know when the enemy might bring along someone with 4 or 5 astral).

Yes, indeed Master Enslave is a much better choice for instance. Or Battle Fortune or Will of the Fates...
But if you have many communicants, you can use for instance a theurg or arch theurg with 8 communicants and cast magic duel easily.

The last pockets of overt Marignonese resistance in the north seem to have been eliminated. Soon, all they'll have left is their southern holdings, which are already over-run with Ermorian undead.

Meanwhile, Ulm has lauched an attack against the Ermorian capital. I hope they've got lots of priests... Personally, I think they'll be defeated.

The Jotun economy is still struggling with Marigonese spies infesting our production centres; Ulmish involvement is suspected, as well. Erik demands the withdrawal of all Ulmish spies, otherwise there will be trouble.

Such heresy! It is bad enough to doubt the ability of the Black Order in dealing with simple undead, but to suggest that they are working in colaberation with Marignon's spies?

Ulm, unsurprisingly, failed to take the Ermorian capital. Didn't take any serious losses, though, except those useless clockwork horrors.

No, they are not useless, you just need a nature 3 mage (a druid with a thistle mace is quite easy for all nations to get) to cast the
spell relief. Even without this they are alright as long as you can win the battle quickly, before they run out of fatigue.

Bah. No sooner do they conquer Ermor's capital than the filthy Ulmians start invading Jotun territory.

Their pathetic tinkerbots are of no consequence.
Their part-time mages are useless.
Their proud regiments of troops will be frozen where they stand.
Their heroes will count for less than nothing.

I knew I shouldn't of split my army in two... That was a close battle though, and there was a point there when it could of gone either way. A battle worthy of legend... indeed, with so many living legends actually dying in it.


But, that is all history now. Ulm has entered a golden age of wealth and industry... what you faced was only a fraction of what Ulm is capable of.


Good fight.

All roads lead to Marignon, eh? Seems like it's the center of it all - it's changed hands countless times and now every nation has a province bordering it.


I wonder if there'll be any inhabitants left if you ever get it back....

How is Marignon fairing? It's looking bleak for them, from what I can see.


The armies of Ulm have already surpassed what they where three seasons ago, before the crushing defeat against Eirk.
