(First battle begins) Terrain-the foothills of a mountain, a forest on the eastern side, mainly rolling ground. {unit number of units:level) Hatex: allied with drow -cavalry X 3:10 -fighters X 10:10 -warriors X 5:15 -axethrowers X 3:10 -scorpions X 2: 20
Velucia: aliied with orcs -warriors X 12:15 -cavalry X 2:12 -dark archers X 4:10 -cav. archers X 2: 15
Daether: Allied with Ecclain -heavy infantry X 13:20 -cavalry X 2:20 -archers X 6:20
Ecclain: Allied with Daether -Heavy infantry X 10: 20 -cavlary X 2:20 -archers X 3:20 -trebuchets X 4:20
The the orcs and drow control the north and east of the battle, the humans the south and west. All combat units are engaged in the front lines, archers giving what support they can, cavalry battling each other as well as trampling enemies breaking off from the lines, archer cavalry circling shooting anything that opens itself up, so far they are deadly. the trebuchets are causing death to the drow and orc units. Reinforcements are on their way for every kingdom except drow. (Trebuchets are part of those reinforcements.)

"Cavalry forward! Run them down! Archers fire at will! Get those Trebuchets ready to fire on my command!" Belias stood surveying the battle as his men charged forward. "Trebuchets ready to fire sir." "Good fire now before our cavalry gets there." Drawing his sword, he started off at a jog. "Charge forth in the name of god!" His soldiers charged forward as the Trebuchets launched massive pieces of stone and trees into the enemy ranks.

Ina arrived from the south, smiling she saw the Ecclain reinforcements charging forward, their deadly trebuchets at work. "Infantry, move close to the front but do not engage, longbowman, fire upon enemy archers, my unit will fire upon the cavalry that dares to near us, infantry, do not let any combatants near our archers. Move in the honor of Daether!" her units moved forward slowly, her unit firing upon enemy cavalry that opened themselves, the longbowman fired upon the archers at brief pauses. The heavy infantry set up a defensive formation to covor the two archer units.

The large stones smashed into the enemy as the cavalry charged through, trampling the orcs and elves. Not far behind were arrows and Belias's men hacking and slashing their way through. Bashing a Dark elf with his shield, he thrust his sword up through her gut, impaling an orc behind her.

A dark elf and orc commander charged at Belias, the dark elf attacking with two swords, the orc swinging with a large axe. The orc and dark elf units were easily cut down against the stronger enemies they faced. Ina's unit shot down an orc cavalry unit that charged them, the longbowman rained arrows on enemy archers, halting the enemy fire while they dove for cover. A dark elf unit tried to break away to charge Ina's. two combat units had died for both dark elves and orcs.

Belias bashed into the Dark elf with his shield, blocking the Orc's axe with his claymore, his muscles pushing beyond his limits. Several cavalry units had pushed through to the other side and were beginning to charge back through. Archers were busy firing arrows into the group while the Trebuchets once again launched a volley of stones and trees into the enemy.

The dark elf recovered and circled around the back of Belias, she took an arrow to the back of the head. The orc pushed forward roaring in anger. The orcs and dark elves were now being slaughtered by the stronger enemies, their own falling numbers making their situation only worse. The dark elf archers fired into the front lines with disregared, they had spread to avoid the fire of the longbowman, the archer cavalry and regular cavalry charged through the lines hoping to kill as many humes as possible. Several more units fell on the orc and dark elves lines. The humans had lost few. Exact numbers were difficult to tell in the large battle.
Inalia turned from her shot to the dark elf trying to flank the new human commander for Ecclain, fired upon the dark elf cavalry, her unit following her lead. The longbowman spread their shots and aimed for the archers.
A distant horn was heard in the direction of the trebuchet's.

Belias felt the dark elf fall against him as the Orc smashed into him knocking him backwards.
Several of the Cavalry fell to a barrage of arrows and axes, while the Soldiers in charger of the Trebuchets kept up their assault. "What's that sound?" Belias' men were slowly taking out the orcs, their losses growing whlie the archers kept up their assault on the dark elves.

The orcs and dark elves began to break away and run, the arhcers giving support fire as they retreated. A horn sounded to the north, behind a particularly large hill. A second replied behind the trebuchet's. Massive orc axeman charged the trebuchet's from behind, they were too large and broad to be from the southern orc lands. Huge wooly mammoths rose over the hill and charged down, blades on tusks, they ran towards the front lines. Another axeman unit charged behind the mammoths, an orc unit in bone armor charing along side them, axethrowers keeping pace behind.
Ina cursed, "Focus on the reinforcements!" her units fired at the enemry reinforcments, the arrows barely wounding the mammoths, a lucky shot or two was made on the riders, the soldiers behind were covered by the large creatures. Her heavy infantry moved to block the new enemies. She cursed, "What the hell are those, and why are those orcs so damned big!"
The orc refused to retreat with his unit, raising his axe high for one final attakc on Belias.

The knights and archers turned to defend the Trebuchets leaving Belias' men and his cavalry to finish off the orcs and elves below. Sitting up, Belias thrust his sword into the Orc's jaw, piercing his brain. Standing slowly, he felt a sharp pain in his side from when he fell on the elf.
The archers were beginning to panic as the mammoths approached, their arrows having no effect on the strange beasts. The knights charged forward to defend the Trebuchets at any cost.

The axeman attacked the gaurds of the trebuchets viciously, easily breaking through to the men loading them, halting their action. The mammoths charged for the highest concentration of enemies. Kobar, the leader of the new orcs and leader of the bone warriors charged forwared to intercept the enemies moving to rescue the trebuchets, his axeman and axethrowers following closely.
Ina's unit fired at the orcs moving from behind the mammoths, all her soldiers quickly moved out of the mammoths path, thankfully not the target.
Kobars orcs spread out to reduce effectivness of the the arrows. Arrows had little effect if any on Kobar himself.

Belias noticed his Trebuchets had ceased fire. Glancing up at the hill, he noticed several orc forces and some strange creatures he had never seen before slaughtering his men. "All forces to the Trebuchets! Cavalry mow them down!!" Belias charged forward at a dead run back up the hill towards the Trebuchets.
The archers began to pull back still firing into the new orc forces as the knights were cut down leaving the Trebuchets wide open. The loaders, drew their swords but were quickly slain by flying axes and mammoth feet. The Trebuchets were about to be lost. "Archers concentrate all fire on one large beast at a time! We must bring them down!"

The new orc forces were powerful, they quickly killed the remaining gaurds, then loaded the dead bodies into the trebuchets and fired at the oncoming forces. Kobar's bone warriors set a defensive line in front of the trebuchet's, his second axeman unit alongside, the axethrowers behind. All of the orcs in the formation had the capability of taking on cavalry with their massive axes. Two mammoths died, one had an arrow threw the eye, the other a shot that managed to paralyze it. The unit charged into the forces moving to the trebuchets.
Ina signaled for her soldiers to fall back, "Kill the orcs! Regain control of the trebuchets!" she cursed after one of her vollies, "Don't waste arrows on the orcs with bone armor, get the others first. Longbowmen, focus on those mammoths, concentrate on the closest one in single volleys." her heavy infantry moved forward to attack the orcs.

Belias' men had finished with the orcs in the valley and had moved up the hill behind Belias. "Kill them all!!!" Belias charged forward, his forces smashing into the new orcs whilst the archers moved to join Ina. "Keep firing on those Mammoths! Aim for the same beasts as the other archers!"
The cavalry smashed into the heavy axemen, finding them more difficult to take down than the others. "Keep up the assault! Run them down!" The Humes were beginning to take many casualties against this new foe.
