I did a Revelation on the last turn to see how the Elf was put together.

This was a tough one, I learned a few lessons.  I had a random extra order one turn and did a enamor on The Demon Princes on the other side of the map not realizing Immortals get a ping.  That set off a war that was super bloody for both sides, I managed to hold onto my capital and slowly gain back my region and lost troops but I was unable to warn others or do anything about the Elf.  I knew he had the stone of all minds early and was building his wizards fast.  It was a fun battle with Vball and I probably got lucky to survive his hit which was very effective.

Congrats to the Elf, well done!

As the Cimmerians, I probably had the most enjoyable 7th-place finish I could. I fought a long war with the GN where I had to use some (for me) new tactics to get around his demonic visions and domes. I eventually came out on top, but had only a turn of respite before I got caught between the Elf, DK, and DE. For the last dozen turns or so, I made myself a nuisance to the DE, kidnapping a few guys, taking some pop centers, dispelling some domes, and even assassinating a p-7 wizard. I was pretty happy I discovered the DE capital via conjecture, but when I arrived, it was legendary...oh well.

Fun game and learned some new tactics.

Super interesting game for me as well....Dave, you actually forced my initial motion through a recon of XE. I was expecting an attack from the CI so I moved into Krynn the following turn.
Elves are a really fun, balanced kingdom. I had 12 p7+ wizards at the end...so much versatility. Was also very impressed with how their troops performed, especially versus legendaries.

They are deficient compared to the DA in contrast (DA has better agents, trolls, etc.) but overall still a very strong kingdom.
