I started this match with a footpad and a gryphon over in my starting keep, then immediately moved east to recruit a bunch of dwarves on the eastern top keep. I then sent them hurdling down the side, and eventually moved my leader to the midway keep on the east side.
Meanwhile, my gryphon and my footpad wandered around grabbing villages and hitting targets of opportunity.
In the east, I holed up on hills and mountains, and ME led a relatively ineffectual assault against my position. My retaliation slaughtered her attack force as it became day, and I moved down a bit, and took up positions a bit further. Dwarf-creep. It was my new tactic against Northies.
On the other side, my gryphon and footpad did will until they ran into an archer and an assassin, who proceeded to kill the footpad. My gryphon ran south, hoping to draw them away from my villages, but they went north. By then, I sent a Ulfserker across, and he arrived just time time to stall their advance. They could out-see him (Or at least the assassin could), so they didn't get mauled, but they weren't willing to go where he could attack. They waited until she sent up a naga, and I sent another unit or two to support. I eventually got her naga in a land-battle, when she took a village with it, and then I was able to drive her away on that side.
On the other side, we fought hard and... bloodily. For the northerners. They couldn't take my hills and mountains, and I would attack at the end of night/start of day. I took a few more losses (three by the end of the game, I recall), and made her pay dearly for every little corpse.
As the battle wore on, I gathered experience and troops, and my stray gryphon grabbed villages.
Soon... victory was mine.
