I recruited dwarves and outlaws. Sent the outlaws down one side, and the dwarves down the other. Turns out that I'm fighting Northerners.
The dwarves do well, but the outlaws get overwhelmed and retreat, then die. Note that I played a bit of mindgames here to convince ME that assassins were a bad idea - they are, in fact, a vital tool to get dwarves out of mountains. My leader is off dicking around somewhere.
ME gets all the villages on the western side, starts to make lots of money. Recruits lots of units. I get holed up in my castle. I get my leader back, and he recruits lots of units... all of whom are stuck at the same bottleneck that ME's troops are suck in. I can't fight my way out, and as time goes on, her controlling most of the villages lets her buy tremendous amounts of units, while I can buy very few.
This tells, and I die horribly to Nagas assassinating my leader slightly before I would have died horrible to northerners overwhelming my forces.
SIGH.
Very embarrassing. I resolved to get better at the Knalgan vs Northerner matchup. Also on Weldyn channel - if there were one front, not two, I would have done a bit better - as it was, she played on my dwarves slow foot-speed, and I couldn't use them to support my outlaws. Don't worry, faithful readers - I won this matchup the next time we clashed.
