A glorious victory for Pangaea against the cruel and evil Tien Chi invaders!

FNN reporters were present today to witness a Pangaean army under the command of the prophet Hippothoos taking defensive positions outside the city of Marverni. From the east the feared enemy, the forerunners of the Tien Chi army advanced seemingly unstoppable. The Tien Chi forward force consisted of some 50 pegasus riders together with some sacred footmen. During the battle half a score battle-mages were also seen casting deadly spells over and over again against the ranks of Pangaean braves.

After hours and hours of heavy fighting Tien Chi troops retreated off the field. Behind they left the corpses of most of their superb pegasus riders, as well as practically all the sacred footmen. Pangaean losses were incredibly high, some 400 pangaeans will not see the new day.

"This is a great day for Pangea!" exclaimed prophet Hippothoos after the battle. "We have shown what Pangaea is made of, the enemy may kill us in droves but we will prevail!"

Some Pangaen observers were not as positive of the result. FNN succeeded to recieve a comment from an un-named woodsman blowpiper fighting in the Pangaen army: "If it takes this heavy casulties to stop their forerunners, how will we fare when their main army arrives?"

Indeed, the Tien Chi pretender (who is ranked 9F9W5S on the unofficial thaumic meter) leads a massive army consisting of warriors of five elements, Tien Chi national demons and other assorted troops towards Pangaean lands. The land is said to tremble miles away when the army marches. According to one source the army has already slaughtered two Pangaen pre-emptive self-defenseforces, and they were not able to even scratch the Tien Chi army.

Will Pangaea survive the onslaught of the Tien Chi main army? How many victories of this scale can Pangaea take before the casulties get too high? Where is the Pangaean Pretender who almost alone destroyed Marverni forces in the previous war?

Stay tuned to FNN and you will be the first to know the answers!

I'd like to report the use of an exploit:

As *specifically* listed as the biggest remaining exploit in Dominions, it is considered *not* permissible to use multiple domes in a province - which *was* used at the Marverni capital.

Isn't it only an exploit if you use multiples of the same kind?

I think the besieged Marverni AI has set up the other one. I am pretty sure when I attacked the province it had just the fire dome up, but I too noticed from this latest turn there are now two domes up. If needed I can backtrack turns and check what the situation was when I attacked the province the first time.

Nah, there's not much we can do if its the AI.

But #!@@@@!!! you red baron! Imagine if the other half of the TC army had made it there!

Considering your forerunners basically trashed my main army, I have to admit I think I can imagine what would have happenened if your main army had arrived

The city of Marverni has proven to be quite a death-trap for Pangaea. Tien Chi killed some 400 Pangaeans there, and earlier I have already lost on two failed assault attempts some 200 troops and 8 commanders...

A glorious defensive operation saves the Pangaean army!

FNN reporters were present today to witness the Pangaean army under the command of the prophet Hippothoos rapidly retreat from its besieging positions outside the city of Marverni. Reports of a massive Tien Chi army advancing from south and southwest had apparently convinced the Pangaen leadership to pick up everything and move away.

"This is a great day for Pangea!" exclaimed prophet Hippothoos after the army had moved out. "With this masterfully executed operation we have shown what Pangaea is made of, the enemy was not able to catch us, and we will prevail!"

Some Pangaen observers were not as positive of the victoryt. FNN succeeded to overhear the discussion between a High Priest in the service of Pangaea and Hippothoos.
"Our destiny was there, but you decided we must run away!" the High Priest was heard claiming.
"We performed a brave and valiant military operation which has saved Pangaea from a massive defeat." the prophet Hippothoos replied.
"Ah, so we valiantly ran away?" the High Priest is claimed to have continued. Sadly for the continuation of the discussion can not be presented for the audience, because of the centaur guards efficiently removing FNN reporterrs from the scene at this point.

Hidden amongst the countryside FNN reporters were present when the apparently very disappointed Tien Chi army arrived to the field outside Marverni. Hundreds of demons of heavenly rivers, pegasii and warriors of the five elements were seen. Leading the massive army were a score of heavy duty battle-mages, including the Tien Chi pretender herself.

Will Pangaea survive the onslaught of the Tien Chi main army? How many valiant retreats can Pangaea perform before they have lost too many? Why does not Pangaea send its thousands of manikin to battle?
