I'm at war with the Balseraphs, Loki is in my territory and obviously he escapes each time I attack him.
I thought though that if I could corner him in either a city or where he has no direct escape route then I'd be able to finish him off.
However, I failed miserably with my first attempt to work him towards a city where I could deliver a fatal blow. So I shephered him into a nice little tile that was surrounded on 6 tiles by mountains, and I placed a unit in the other 2. One unit attacked, and he escaped into the tile my unit had attacked from.
Okay, so I thought lesson learned, and I shepherded him in again, but this time I had two units in the tile I'd attack from...and this time he jumped two tiles from the tile he was in, effectively over one unit.
So I tried again to shephed him to a city...but I don't seem to be able to 'encourage' him to move towards my cultural borders, and he will instead make a 2 tile jump over a batch of units.
So I therefore assume the best way to kill Loki is to just destroy the Balseraphs? Which is a pain as it would have been nice to have reduced them to a 1 city vassal and leeched all their palace mana from them.
