We find Inspirations and Planar Seal in the ruins of Ariel's fortress. Soon after that, we also raid an ancient ruins and find a Holy Word spell. Their use in further game will be rather marginal. It's a relatively magic-free game on my part - I am afraid to summon Chaos units due to Nature's Wrath, and Life magic doesn't really feel as "magicky" as other schools. Mind you, my spells are still going to be essential later on.
Meanwhile, war with Sss'ra continues on. He takes a small Troll city I conquered from him,
my newly-rushed Berserkers take Hannover, one of his cities on Arcanus. He has managed to build up quite an empire on the green plane.
Ariel soon returns, and continues to frustrate me by defeating my attempt to take her capital.
Sss'ra's trolls attack and take Salamis. We successfully retake it, however, during the battle he uses this:
It automatically destroys units with a resistance parameter of 9 or lower (and doesn't cause any damage to those above 9). This is a major, and quite a nasty development.
Good thing that during another temporary truce he trades me it. But most of his units have more resistance than 9, anyway, so it's not as devastating in mine hands as in his.
Meanwhile, we lose our second stack sent to destroy Ariel. Very annoying.
Sss'ra casts this:
He then attacks a city of ours in South Gnollia, razing it (disintegrating the Wolf Riders). A turn after, he proceeds to do the same thing with the second city of South Gnollia. Good thing that Gnoll cities start to lose their relevance to the game, anyway.
The third stack send to conquer the remnant of Ariel's empire -
succeeds in capturing the capital.
