Sorry for delay; I had to run an errand.
I was going to select Amazon as my last pick.
Now I must figure out something else.

1 = Warmaster
2 = Draugr
1 Red Dragon
2 ------------- Sorcerer
2 ------------- Demon Princes
1 Rangers
2 ------------- Gnomes
1 Dark Elves
2 ------------- Black Dragon
1 Druid
2 ------------- Necromancer
1 Nomads
2 ------------- Amazons
1 Cimmerians
I prefer all kingdoms being available for selection (I agree that TY will not be available for selection.)
Let's try Pagan.
No Ice Age.
Fixed cities.
No +4 orders.
7 regions or more for victory.

Cimmerians can support druids and force the necromancer to compete for control of the region.
I have never played the Cimmerians before. So this may be a bad choice. We shall see.
R3 remains empty at the start. Maybe there is a dragon hoard there somewhere?

Let's set Victory at 8 regions. The most likely outcome is victor is decided when opponent concedes.
Game queue is ready Draugr.
I look at this contest as a learning opportunity.
Good luck to you!

Yes, that was entertaining and educational and gave us a peak inside the minds of those players willing to risk brain cells (only the weak cells die) to control six kingdoms. I could see the sense in all selections in the Titan format where it is said the games are short so not so much emphasis on development.
I agree we should like to see this kind of analysis (good job guys) for any Titan or Warlords game.
I believe the community would like to follow along as best able. So learning when regions are controlled or lost or major battles with tactics used, spells cast and losses sustained.

OK, four turns have been processed. A hellish winter approaches . . .
Team Evil: SO/DE/GN/BL/NE/AM
Team Valiant: RD/RA/DA/DU/NO/CI
I am not certain whether either of us have had a good start, a poor one, or merely average. Much remains to be decided!
As things stand now:
HC seats (two for each of us):
DE and SO (two evil, evil beings);
RA and RD (two valiant, virtuous Exemplars.)
Cities (six for Evil, five for Valiant, and one for Humans):
The Evil team controls CD (BL); DK (NE); QC (AM); IN (SO); NK (SO); and YD (GN);
The Valiant Exemplars control: CU (CI); KU (DA); OP (RA); UM (RA); YU (NO);
Humans control: OV.
Regions (one Evil region and two Valiant regions):
Runnimede (GN);
Arcania (RA), and Southern Sands (NO.)
One major battle:
Battle between the 1st Red Dragon army and the 1st Amazons army in the plains of area QC:
Red Dragon Amazons
Commanders
Major General Ancalogon Marshal Circi Halfmoon
Major General Tyranis General Daughter of Sun
Captain Ra Decoranis General The Spear
Wizards
None Power-3 Aryia
Power-2 Mysteria
Brigades
5 Red Dragons Regular 6 Amazons Regular
2 Wyverns Regular 1 Wildlings Regular
2 Great Bats Regular 1 Westmen Regular
Combat Factors
None Very Good Leaders
Tactical Selection
Determined Attack Hold At All Costs
Due to the ruthless nature of the Red Dragon, the Amazons forces became weakened as they
succumbed to their fear. Late in the afternoon, the 1st Red Dragon army eagerly swept
toward the defensive position of the 1st Amazons army under Marshal Circi Halfmoon.
Knowing that their liege had declared the Red Dragon to be an enemy of their nation, the
Amazons forces were invigorated and gained a morale boost as they prepared to fight their
declared enemy! Across the field, the Amazons' forces saw the banner of the Red Dragon 1st
group, it's most respected. The Amazons fielded its pride: its 1st group. As the attackers
swept down from the darkening sky to just above the green fields, the first missiles sang
out.
- Long Range Missilers -
The long range Red Dragon intense fiery breath and the archers advanced adorned in animal
skins of the Amazons force initiated their attack. The Red Dragon forces inflicted light
damage upon the Amazons forces and, in return, the Amazons inflicted minor losses to their
foes.
- Short Range Missilers -
The short range Red Dragon intense fiery breath and the archers advanced adorned in animal
skins of the Amazons force initiated their attack. The Red Dragon ranks imposed light
losses upon the Amazons forces in return, the Amazons claimed minor damage against the
enemy.
- Magic -
Amazons mages dismounted just beyond the range of defending bowmen and began an animated
incantation. Aryia's presence was clear. Arcs of searing fire shot forth from him. Power-3
wizard Aryia incanted in a low forceful tone. A light sparkling mist seemed to fall
briefly over the troops, and then they grew clearly more intrepid. Power-2 wizard Mysteria
muttered a few words in a foreign tongue. With a dazzling display of images in the air,
the leader of the opposing force is mezmorized and cannot move! Mages were not a
significant factor in the battle.
- Charge -
The outcome of the battle was still very much in doubt. Quickly, Major General Ancalogon
beckoned the Red Dragon death-bringing winged attack down upon the riders drove bare heels
into their steeds of the Amazons. The Red Dragon lines claimed noticable casualties upon
the Amazons forces in return, the Amazons caused noticable losses to their foes.
- Melee -
Hour after hour passed, yet none could tell which side would first break and which would
triumph. The dragons now landed, shaking the earth, grim determination on the face of each
they met in heated, blood-stained battle. The Red Dragon enormous piercing fangs
confronted the Amazons fearless spear wielding maidens to determine the outcome of the
battle. The Red Dragon lines claimed significant casualties upon the Amazons ranks and, in
return, the Amazons imposed significant losses to their enemy.
- Combined -
Hour after hour passed, yet none could tell which side would be the victor since both
forces were evenly matched. Despite all that had preceeded at this moment, the battle
outcome was still in doubt. Now all remaining troops of all types hurled themselves into
the thick of battle to settle matters in decisive fashion. Victory had yet to take sides
in this epic struggle: Yet more hour killing hours passed, and these saw all the weary
lines of each side rejoin the contest in a final, gallant effort to triumph. The Red
Dragon enormous piercing fangs challenged the Amazons fearless spear wielding maidens to
decide the battle. The Red Dragon ranks claimed appreciable losses upon the Amazons ranks
while the Amazons imposed appreciable casualties to their foes.
- Conclusion -
Fighting had been brutal and the troops on each side were exhausted: both commanders
simultaneously withdrew their forces from the battlefield. The Red Dragon showed good
composure in their withdrawal, minimizing losses. Retreating caused additional losses for
the Amazons were minor. Red Dragon casualties were put at 73.93%. In a setback, the Red
Dragon Captain Ra Decoranis died of his wounds. Earning elevation was an Red Dragons
brigade. They are now a Veteran unit. The toll of battle has reduced the group's morale.
Amazons casualties were put at 68.50%. All Amazons leaders survived the battle. Circi
Halfmoon once again shown uncommon skill and has earned a promotion to Grand Marshal. The
Spear demonstrated tactical awareness and has been recognized as a Major General. Sadly,
the Amazons Power-2 Mysteria did not survive. An Westmen brigade of Regular experience
fought bravely and have been elevated to Veteran level. The troops are anxious for further
glory: morale is up!

Yes, that battle surprised me as well.
