Panzerarmee General
Finally beat this the first time today and it was great. 13 hours of playtime on Monarch Normal. Man it was a brutal fight. Took Belenus and tromped all over the map. Man that dragon is awesome looking!. He really isn't that effective because he can only attack once per turn, though. So I fed him a steady supply of archer-burgers while I hunted down Mulcarn. The Stag is awesome too!
However, the point of the thread is about the game before. I took the Hunter hero (Caer~~~?) and I sent him out into the wilderness where he leveled quite a buit whilst i turtled my civ to withstand the onslaught of illian xbows. Thats when it happened...
I ended the turn and heard the distinct sound of a city being captured. People where screaming and whatnot. Confused, I clicked the red text that told me my city had been captured, and the screen wizzed all the way to the east. There, sitting in the smoldering city that had been mine the turn before, was a huge FREAKING bird of GIANORMOUS PROPORTIONS!!. This was a city that was just north of the capitol and had not even been garrissoned because the mountains blocked passage. Or so I thought..
So, I mustered some defenses to protect the capitol while my uber-Hunter raced home to fell the demonbirdofhell. Except, thats not what happened..
Turns out, I had the capture animal promo and thus when my hero arrived, there was a severely wounded Fiarna the North Wind (or something like that) that became mine.
So,, can you imagine the carnage I wrought with a fully promoted 11 str God-Bird.
Except, turtling had been a dumb idea and was overwhelmed by enemy xbows so I had to quit. But wow, man that bird rocks. So If you can get lucky enough to catch it while playing with Belenus, winning should be easy.

) is intended to be captureable, its part of the fun, if it happens in your scenario.
Silly AI.
