So... I can't make a screenshot (it just makes one of my desktop) any tips?
Using Windows? Search for the "Snipping Tool" utility, and use that.

Alternately, if you're fullscreen Windows (and I assume you are), hit alt-enter to go to windowed mode and then take the screenshot as normal.

Who gets a +3 moral +1 inspirational +30 leadership and + 100 undead command buff?
That is for commanding demons because they use leadership and morale.

100|% correct. :)

Switched to windowed mode, the screenshots are smaller (?) but at least they are working.

I'm not sure how that helps, I can not use it in full screen mode (Because I need to Alt-Tab to start it). Am I being dumb and there is a key-binding I am missing?

How unlucky i am? It's third time Hinnom army escapes mine with "i'm sexy and fast and i know that you don't have enchantment 3" expression. Does +6 speed gives that crazy big chance of avoiding enemy? It's a bit unfair.

I guess it doesn't really, besides maybe saving you some time on cropping later.

It's possible I'm misunderstanding your problem, but movement happens simultaneously for everyone. A target that moves to a different province every turn will never be caught by chasing it. You need to move your army to the place where Hinnom's forces will be, rather than where they are.There's one exception where two forces that both move at each other will meet in one of their provinces and fight, but that's not going to happen if your enemy doesn't want to give battle.

This is the single most helpful link about all those things imo:

http://dom4.wikia.com/wiki/Turn_resolution_sequence

As you see "Friendly" movement happens first (21) then other movement (22), so as long as Hinom is moving into its own territory, it will always move first. If it is moving into yours and you are moving into his, its a luck thing.

It says magic battles are resolved in turn 11. Does that mean:
a) That summoned (through distant ritual, not the usual summoning in a lab)  units will fight before you get to reinforce them?
b) That should a squad survive this, they will still move away?

Also interesting: Hunting for blood slaves happens before battles and pillage happens after, so if you want to do one last mean thing to a province, before being crushed- blood hunt is the way.

Or in the case of yomi, the extra chaos power could prove to be enough of a boost.

I should've really read that more early, things like

"In order to score a hit on a certain part of the body, however, the attacker must be able to reach it.  To score a head hit, attacker size + weapon length must be
equal to target size.  This requirement is one less to hit the torso and two less to hit the arms.  Thus a human (size 2) wielding a mace (length 1) could hit a size-6 creature only in the legs!"

Are quite intresting. So a bunch of dear tribe warriors with two daggers will maul mostly legs when fighting against a giant. Armor the lower half of your giants, boyz.
