(RA) - The battle for my capitol was lost, as posted by NO.  My troops fought bravely, all leaders survived, both groups withdrew in good order and several promotions were made.  NO group 5 lost about 34 % but had many promotions and the Zombies ate the dead, gaining 4 new brigades.  I envy those that can summon zombies.  Cheap, they recreate and you don't pay or feed them.  NO has many undead brigades.  Also some nice artifacts:
         WM   5th Nomad             Gem of Planes                      18280
         WM   5th Nomad             Oracle of the Old Gods             14849
         WM   5th Nomad             Rod of Fire                        74066

Here is a question for anyone that can answer it.  I sent in my largest group on an attack group order, 100, tac 2 standard attack.  My smaller group had a delayed attack, 101, tactic 1, probe.  The delayed attack processed first.  Does this sound right?

No is still in WM, likely to move, with about 20 brigades and the same leaders that I posted last turn.

You don't have to pay zombies but you do have to feed them. Which can be a problem for a Northern kingdom in Winter. Especially if they don't have a lot of villages. And the new ones created are green which are not very good.
