'Weak' you say?! Well, polls won't decide the outcome of a war, and you know there was this little guy called David and.... raaargh! I'll kill you all!

Things are going quite well, but today I lost an important unit because I underestimated some defenders.
Need to be more careful...

A new day, new unnecessary losses. Luckily only minor units, but still...

First sight of my enemy. A zephyr bird flying through the underground. I almost left my town wide open for it to take, but in the last minute I spotted something white on the map. Now the town is well guarded.

Moving into Ember's territory through the northern passage.
The first city we find is abandoned. We will take it under our control tomorrow.

Help yourself, Drake. The appetizer is for free but naturally there is no such thing as a free lunch. I presume Drake will come to my surface tower first...

Captured two unguarded villages and a farm from Ember.
I can see that Ember is not present in his tower, and that he relies on some lurkers to defend it. The cannon and the knight can do some damage though...
I wonder where Embers main forces are...

Uhm, my hearlands will fall under the banner of Drake. The wizard tower is still mine though. A few frogs and a couple of cannons gives nice combination for ranged attacks... the tower will fall but there certainly will be a price for it.
Elsewhere a lonely z-wing takes a peek what Drake left behind. Is his tower as well protected?

I wonder why Ember sticks his nose up from the underground on my side and goes back down again. I had a look at his fight against some independents, and got quite impressed of his companions.Lets see where he takes them next.
Tomorrow I can go for the surface tower, but it will be a tough fight, and many units will fall...

Hrmph, my strike force was seen? Well, my bears got careless anyways and gave away their location. Seems that we have scared Drake as he seems hastely gather troops to defend his tower.
Battle at my tower? Yes, there will be blood for sure. May the force be on our side.

I went for the tower. My guys fought very well, and in the end I had 9 nine units left.
Two bears are running loose in my territory...

Well, that was a disappointing battle. And not just only that one.
A hasty movement at underground worries me... I got bad feelings about this.

Yes, I think I might have stopped an evil plan in the underground. I stumbled upon a boat with some units with water walking together with some other land units.
Amongst these a drilling machine. I suspect these people to have been on their way to the surface through the middle.
My forces were quite small, but I took the risk and attacked the boat first. Luckily I won this. Standing back with one boat with a few HP left. I believe the stone skin on my boat tipped the fight in my favour.
After that I jumped in on the land battle. I lost a hero in the fight, but I won and all in all I'm quite satisfied.
On the surface a Fairy Dragon with concealment is giving me trouble...

Most disappointing, again. At the end of the naval battle I had a full health galley and two nymphs against one galley of Drake. And I lost. Had my nymphs survived there most likely wouldn't have been any land battle and I still had the drill, and with the drill a decent position in this war. Now... things are looking really grim. I surprised that I am not rated 'weak' yet, but still I am capable of only guerilla warfare.
But to be honest, my position is not because of bad luck. It is because seemingly endless row of bad -or really bad- decisions.

I decided to avoid unneccary losses and did not take a few wounded units in a battle for one of the underground towns. So just my yeti and a wounded wolf rider against wolf rider and a lightning catcher. I lost the battle.

Had to flee from a town in the underground.
After killing that Yeti we think the luck may be running out...

Finally some success. Drake's galley carrying the fleeing defenders was sunk. But of course elsewhere there was one fight again which made me want to cry. Actually I did cry. Just a litte. Then I whined.

Ember is getting more and more control of the underground.
On the surface he is also building up some muscles.
I don't know how strong yet.
Better produce some units fast to stop this madness...

Drake day 20
Today I had a big clash with Ember.
Ember had gathered his finest men (I hope) not far from
his old wizard tower. Yesterday I prepared for an attack placing men strategic to reach as long as possible.
It was just enough to reach Embers stack of men.
It was only two or three units visible, but it turned out to be seven. Three heroes, two big bears, a Fairy dragon and a Druid.
I went in with all I had, and in the end I was the only man standing. I lost 11 troops in the fight, amongst them Bane Flamewing, but it was all worth it.
Uther Pendragon and two other heroes were killed, and there was plenty of equipment for my hero to pickup.
I believe I control the surface quite good now, but the underground is another story...
