    This reminds me of fighting the Rajputs as the Caliphate back in the old BC hotseat days. Multitudes of hindu spear and archers cut down by a small number of brave cavalrymen...

    A rule should be added imho to set a maximum number of adoptions. If not i canget one unit of heavy cavalry every turn, whom costs me 200 in wages only (unless im mistaken) whom also replenishes losses for free. Harad and Rhun can do the same ofc, but that still leaves us with the advantage since we have twice as many factions with mounted BGs

    To be fair i had very good units facing pretty much only snaga whom are nothing if not weak on favorable terrain.

    now if that sweet little rebel village could STOP SALLYING and let me assault... Twice they have driven me off now only to return immediately :D

    OOTMM being a favorite faction of mine I can confirm the extent to which snaga suck if anything can force them into combat.

    And also the many autoresolve battles I've had to do over the ai turn where our side got pasted against the high unit numbers ai orcs.

    Speaking of adoptions, mine have been continually failing lately. I wish I knew why, this always happens to me in hotseat games for no apparent reason.

    it doesn't always fix the problem, but I've found before that the adoptions are more likely to go through if you accept them first thing. In a lot of games if I don't do it first thing it seems to be a surefire fail.

    hmm, well I always do it first, but maybe if that seems to have an affect I will try NOT doing them first and see.

    I have my suspicions that there is either a cap on max FMs on the map or a cap of emerging FMs per turn and those who are behind in the TO can't adopt if players before them do so. That's speculation only.
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    in CoG my last two adoptions "were not completed' due to the death of the adoptee. I noticed that always "dying when not first decision" in singleplayer so I've been doing it first. I believe it's due to to my loss of regions in that game. The game giveth, the game taketh away
