Though I will say I am beyond impressed with Averoth. A three-region, zero-city realm just beat a huge empire in an open field contest. One of the better shows I've seen in a long time.

It was a tough battle. The Averoth units were very small, most only around 20 men, or even less. But they had 39 units show up for battle. Toward the end of the battle there were a lot of <10 men unit running around. The hits from the attackers were getting very spread out, not concentrating enough to do significant damage

Even more impressive, though is the movement style Averoth has adopted. The vast majority of those 39 units were stationary until <2 hours before the turn. Then they just piled it on. It's going to be a tough fight against a realm that can pull a 37-unit late-turn move, on a regular basis.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
