So I am playing as Endhuvi, with the goal to have fun with spirit military. But actually the first part of the MT are for focused on secure and develop the porcelaines cities.

My ruler managed to will the Sharaajaghal Games in Staff and Sword Duelling, that gave my army some neat bonuses. Combined to some mission reward I have some good army quality.

With my army I actually managed to beat the Command once. He took the city of Sarisung and vassalized the gangs of the cities. As I had a claim on the city, and the Command was busy attacking Bianfang, I decided to declare war, both to insure that Bianfang stays strong, and to use the fact the AI sucks at dealing multiple wars.

minor Halessi victory, 400 000 deads

It was a massive success: Bianfang managed to peace out by simply giving 50 gold to the Command, and I could took the entire city of Sarisung.

So I was really surprised when the Command declared the war on the entire Raj a few years later.

I played a few months after this screenshot and somehow the Raj managed to lose 40k more troops.

Turn out this incompetent, idiotic Raj managed to lost 60k troops on a stupid and pointless war against the Jaddari legion. With all the Senapti disloyal, it seems only I can stop the hobgoblin onslaught!

This useless feline managed to lose the battle war goal against a mere 20k cav from Jadd! I know Jadd have good quality, but still, we outnumber them more than 2 to 1!

He is so useless the entire Raj is threatened by the same people I managed to beat alone a few years ago!

Once this war is over, I will overthrown this moronic cat to become Raj myself, even if my MT dissolves it after!

With their MT black herd gain mana for each battle won, and can also move destroy their own troops to gain more xp for the magical studies.

Because they are a centaur nation, they will have a lot of rebels they can farm for mana, and because they turn into undead military at some point, they can raise a lot of troops and gain xp out of them. So I had almost infinite mana to cast whatever spell I wanted, and I could study a lot of spells or project in a short time.

The only downside is the forced use of the Markhentakruan spell, that gives only minor benefits.

I wonder if any tag in this new update have abilities that makes them even more potent at magic than Black Herd.

I can't understand how the Ousters haven't developed weapons systems that makes everything the Hegemony or the Pax have looks pathetic.

The Pax and Hegemony are both stagnants due to the Core parasitism, while the Ousters are building a Dyson sphere. They should have technologies even the Core can't understand and replicate.

They are also aware that the Hegemony and the Pax are genocidal maniacs, with all the sentient species that have to take refuge in Ouster space to escape extermination, and latter the Pax crusade.

How why they don't develop more advanced weapons system and ships to defend themselves against the Core, or even invade them to end the atrocities they commit with their Hegemony/Pax puppets? From what I read in the book it feels they let themselves being slaughtered.

Even if the archangels use Core weapons more advanced than what the Ousters can imagine, they could have studied the ship of De Soya after he defected, and had 10 years to build counter-measure to the archangels. They also took control of Gideon drones, so they can share these counter-measures to all Ousters system without time-debt.

Even if they can only use the Hawking drive, they seems to have much more ressources available than the Core and the Pax puppet, so they could have in every important systems enough ships to defeat any Pax ship agression, or even invade Pax space to at least force them to be on the defensive so they can massacre Ousters civilians.

After the agression of the Hegemony at Bressia, I think they should have wage war against the Hegemony, and they could have invade all of it during the Fall, and make sure the Core influence of humanity disappears.

I have almost finished the last book, so maybe there are more explanations, but for know it simply breaks my suspension of disbelief.
