If anyone can spare any resources, my 15 cropper Agincourt (-14 l -225) is locked and loaded to start building settlers to found village No.3 - the new support village.
I took the 15 cropper from under Ajax's nose, which he didn't see the funny side of and sent a pretty big army to take it back:
Hades (42 l -109)
Hero x 1
Imperians x 654
Equites Imperatoris x 119
Equites Caesaris x 225
Rams x 26
Fire catapults x 90
A Town Called Mallice (30 l -176)
Imperians x 425
Equites Imperatoris x 125
Equites Caesaris x 112
Fire catapults x 44
668 (42 l -110)
Imperians x 3
Fortunately he failed, thanks largely due to the defensive support from the alliance members (you know who you are) and some advice from Rotor.
