Being certain I was going for the purple computer, I only took part of my army with me.
In the tavern, it seemed I had an army advantage, so I holed up in the town, assuming that Dessa was somewhere on another front (since the town's view didn't show her nearby). But to be safe, I built a Citadel. Dessa was nearby and attacked. Thanks to the ring for + morale, luck, and Citadels, I managed to pull off a tough fight.
After the opponent fled, I went to finish him off, but the Castle in the town thinned out my entire army (I rushed in without mana), plus a Double mana at the Citadel near the town met me with a hundred mana. Although the papal Ballistics did its job.
After a short chase and trades, I managed to squeeze out a win thanks to golems and the ballista.
Thanks for the game.
