I don't know what you guys were whining about. Things seemed to go easily enough for me. :neenernee
(Thanks entirely to your hard work in fighting the difficult stages of the battle.)
Turn 10
Our human-led forces smash holes in the orcish lines, and begin rolling up both ends as well. Lots and lots of footpads are swarming the orcs, along with whichever of our veteran units are healthy enough to still fight.
During the orc turns quite a few footpads, dwarves, ogres, and other low level units are lost.
All of the orc kings, including Rakshas, join the combat.
The lich forces clear all remaining enemies from their quadrant and start advancing on the castle.
The dwarves fight fiercely and kill Rakshas! :2dance: We get some congratulatory messages, but must still finish the other orc leaders. The dwarves start immediately by killing the brown and black kings this turn as well.
The elves push into the castle, although there are still pockets of resistance. A few elves begin attacking the green king.
Turn 11
Our eastern forces crush all but a handful of orcs in their quadrant and advance on the castle. There are still a few wall guards in this sector.
The orcs score some more low-level kills, and also get a few elves who were exposed as they went after the green king.
The northern forces push a strong wedge into the castle, while dwarves advance and claim lots of villages.
The elves kill the green king, with Princess Eryssa striking the final blows.
Turn 12
We clear the rest of the east and the first human units (some quick footpads) enter the castle.
The handful of remaining orcs fight desperately, but only kill one elf. The purple king actually moves closer to the lich forces when he attacks an elven rider.
I take advantage of this foolish move by swarming the last orc king. I intentionally send in heavily wounded units first, getting in one or two blows each before being killed and clearing the space for a fresh attacker. The tactic works, and the purple king is beaten to a pulp by our trolls' clubs!
Victory is ours! :2dance:
:2dance: :cake:
Lots and lots of speeches, etc. I have attached the save before the epilogue, so you can watch it all if you like.
Great work, everyone!
You two did the really hard turns, so most of what was left was mopping up after one more big push broke the enemy lines.

Looks like a fair number of the level 3 wall guards have been drawn out and dealt with as well. Hopefully we can keep pushing and wrap this up fairly quickly.
