"Got Blood?" -- BF Ulm AAR (Newbie)

[Scott Hebert]

Turn 6

Marignon names the Cardinal his Prophet. Would that make him Holy 6? Gotta keep him away from my Vampires...

I was able to hire Dante's Stingers, and I broke down the walls of the Mausoleum, so I order Dante, Karl, and Rexor to storm it. I don't see any provinces of C'tis's around here, so I'm hoping that if I win, C'tis will be eliminated.

Nan Bagor transfers his troops to Karl, and summons up wolves.

Zierod and his troops sneak to C'tis. (Another bonus of the Wolfherds... strategic move of 2, and can sneak with Rangers and Wolves.)

Ulrich and his Morningstar Infantry move to Zimmria.

Eata, my Astral/Blood Fortuneteller, moves to Fenatice to prepare for Bloodhunting.

Meanwhile, most of the rest of my coven switches over to forging items for Irma, since Construction 2 has been reached. Evita forges a Rawhide Shield, Irma forges herself a Horror Helm, and Coma forges a Pendant of Luck.

I note that the Farstrikers are up for hire. I've always considered them among the best mercenaries, and so I spend 165g in an attempt to hire them. This leaves me with 62g, which I use to buy another Wolfherd, and a single Ranger.

Taxes are moved to 70% in Zimmria and 80% in C'tis.
