Thank you, RattleHead.

The age ended at a weird time for me. Was barely paying attention to the proposed changes.
The orc losses are mildly depressing, but apparently orc players don't think about it much. Thus, I to ran 4 orcs in TVK.

My entanglement with a couple of t/ms last age sunk in the impression that t/ms are hard pressed to handle a determined attacker. My lone reservation was that I hadn't locked up with an enemy heretic, which by my measure should be able to defeat an undead dwarf one-on-one. Part of my basis on formidability is in how many provinces jump in on mine after the initial engagement: In one conflict I was pulling a rogue and heavy attacker along with a mystic I was attacking = 3. That ratio influenced the 3 dwarf undead this age in TVK despite the loss of an elite defense point. Reason being, the point is relative with the exception of halfling. The ability to build fully under duress convinced me the worth of continuing the undead dwarf this age.
