Match has been reported, please confirm!

The game was very interesting. I was again a bit poor in infrastructure because I needed too much turns to get my vassals. I hadn´t that much troops too, I moved my leader stack to the south-west to take these sites before Eskild would do and then moving in a bow back to the middle of the map. 
I was lucky that Eskild moved to Earl first, who was yelling for help. We feared both of you would attack him so I moved my 2nd best stack to him, leaving my empire very weak defended. 
I was afraid Eskild would embark and attack me via the sea in the middle of the map. 
Nearly certain he would had done it if he had more swimming/flying units. 

To be as much mobile as possible, I spawned as much Phantoms and creature as I could. In the meantime Earls defence got stronger and so Eskild went back to his empire to take out some sites and then tried to kill the dragons,vassal of Earl who were between my and Eskilds empire. 
We formed defence at a fortress beside the dragons and prepared for a counter attack if Eskild had been able to kill the dragons. Again, he wasn´t the luckiest player though as the strong dragon defence sticked together which would´ve been a big gamble to attack. 

Once again, Eskild went back to take some sites, ghouling units and get stronger. But in one battle it seemed he took too much risk and loose his leader. 
In the meantime, I formed another mobile and invisible Leader-stack who was positioned in the big sea and was ready counterattack at the dragons too. 
Once again I was lucky: right in this round, as Eskild´s leader died, they were in range of a mariners shrine + berries at the island in the middle of the map which allowed me to move half way to Eskild´s throne. 
I needed only 2 more rounds to attack his throne - again you can say a bit of luck cause the majority of my troops reached it on their last moving-hex. 

The fight was rather easy because the strong stacks of Eskild didn´t arrive in time. So he was defeated and we thought we should really be capable of winning the 2v1 this time. 

My leader was around lvl 22 at this point and got even stronger due to Eskilds items. Then Earl and I moved some troops in the UG to AIX-Empire - but without big risk. 
I don´t know how strong AIX really was but it seemed he wasn´t that well prepared, as the nearest city + his throne were poor defended. 

After loosing some vassals and his stack at Earl´s Naga-Vassals, he surrendered. 

The end was easy this time, but as I said, it seems luck was definitely on our side this time. 

In the beginning I messed one fight which I was playing for Earl: I moved 3 bards, 2 ogres and a warbreed inside a dungeon and lost all units with one AI-warbreed left in the side. 
We felt in real trouble at this point cause Eskild seemed to prepare an attack of Earl at this stage. Without that fail I think we would´ve played more offensive.

I hope there will be antother rematch?

Thx. Yes I think you realized it that standing beside the nagas and waiting for reinfarcements wasn´t the best idea, but it was too late then I guess? Know that feeling

Well, not much for me to do here anyway... I needed at least couple more turns to effectively organize my troops + made pretty stupid move with my AD hero. Congratz on the victory!

Hi everyone,

my game crashed yesterday evening, therefor I had to restart my turn. Sorry

Cheers EarL

PS: A screenshot wasn't possible/didn't work at this moment, so I've made a photo ^^

Ok

For some reasone when I wanted to start the game just now, I got message that I am about to re-start the game in Iron mode... wierd stuff is going on

how wid you loose your leader? Got he panicked by nagas?
I started my turn yesterday, but was very late. Let´s see whether I can finish it in the evening

But no gold is no gold. He will attack soon I believe

Well, I am playing cautiosly for now, since I don't want to fall into a trap with Invisible sorccerer army with champion halflings  
And you' re underestimating Eskild

AIX, when do you assassinate us? It seems like Eskild can´t fight forever at two fronts. I guess you will arrive soon - and I´m sure Eskild would appreciate some donations as well

Did I already mentioned that this is a crazy game?
