I'm ready to toss in the towel unless any of you want to end it in a blaze of glory. I was just getting ready to go on the attack to decide my own fate, one way or the other.
I have doubts as to whether it would've ended up well for me, once the initial push was done. For one thing, my magic research started off extremely slow and I don't think it every quite caught back up. Aside from a couple full-army defensive buffs, there wasn't many other magic tricks up my sleeve. Although one of them was the one that gives some resistance to all elemental damage types to the whole army.
My best bet was to use the Nature spell that would teleport a commander and all his troops to a target forest province. Send out Pan armies to teleport behind the lines & attack, along with my Carrion Dragon & his own. I also had a Treelord, three or four Ettins kitted out, and had been summoning a steady amount of Trolls for some extra army beefcake. Really don't know how those Ettins would've fared since I only had Construction-4 researched. Good enough for a pair of Fire/Frost brands apiece, along with heavy armor, the luck shield, horror helm, and regen.
