Over one hundred of your units were lost in this battle - even with such great losses, if they were well used against the enemy you did the right thing.

Every unit sacrificed is an opportunity to learn about your opponent.
- Massacre
Two hundred of your units were lost in this conflict. Sadly, not every battle can be a sweeping victory where everyone returns to the feast table to boast of their skill.

Take that advice on your future conquests.
