I thought @Evil_Steve had alright taken over?
Anyways, to continue my suspicion that Evil steve casted Baleful Star on my capital, imps tried to assassinate FIVE of my mages. And they mostly succeeded , because my body guards SUCK.
So not sure if this was a random event, or if someone who LOVES IMPS (cough bats cough) came after me. Or, fully in the throes of Dominions 5 paranoia, it was probably Mariginon, making it LOOK like Xiabalba.
