Not really sure how we ran away from a fight, but ok. We fought where we could, but villages are useless when getting invaded, cant send any caravans out. We had already lost a lot defending Odasan, attacking HATE, fighting the Templar's, re-taking Fearichen, and then trying to send help to Chaos. Unlike you guys, we dont have an unlimited supply of gold, so we have to actually manage our resources, we cant send overly equipped armies to their deaths and not care, which is why we are "hiding" in our castles. Believe me, i would love to have some field battles, but we just dont have the resources to spare.
