Then be sure to end your movement on your territory, if not, the other army will attack you. Meanwhile, you should be recruiting more troops in camulosadae. You go back, retrain your units, and take other two units. I went to encounter the other eleutheroi army and the odds where 3:5 against me. But, again, if you play well you should be able to obtain a heroic victory. From now on, you are free to conquer all the isles, no more armies will attack you. But these first battles are decisive, you can't loose any of them.

Furthermore, barae became an excellent character, with the traits "crushes his enemies" and something like "victory agains all odds", so he could improve even more his abilities in the next battles.

I took a completely different route. I disbanded what I had to, and waited... for a few years I built up my starting town and economy and when I was good and ready, I launched my attack. After about 14 years, I conquered both islands. Then I sent Barae and the men back home... and waited... another few years, and my island stronghold was rolling in cash.... or.... gold coins? A 50,000+ mnai reserve is a good thing. After building up a formidable invasion force, I attacked Europe under the leadership of Barae's grandson and now king, Lugad. And the rest is history...
