Ulm has been eliminated, Machaka is next! Well we will be attacking them anyways, we may not need to eliminate them. They are just in the way. ;)

We have 3 capitals and thus Victory Points now; I think I chose 7 needed to win. Thus I have to capture 4 more capitals.

Pythium is currently seiging Abysia's last province, and is currently at war with Machaka. Machaka attacked Pythium last turn in a HUGE HUGE fun-to-watch battle on Abysia's capital. LOTS of Machakan casualties, mostly fodder-type archer troops. Pythium has a pretty high-quality army there consisting mostly of their tough national troops. So, we may have to go to war with them as well although I'd prefer to avoid that if possible.

One thing I have been meaning to note about playing Arcosephale. PRIESTESSES are ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! My armies now consist of MANY MANY three-star troops with NO AFFLICTIONS. Hypaspists are great as they are 'out-of-the-box' but with 3-stars they have some excellent stats! I also have lots of heavy cavs with 2 and 3-stars. Those guys are gonna lay down some hurt!

Ok gotta play the next turn now. Attack on Machaka commences.
