This is on a R:TW install with RS 1.5; I'm surprised EoD still works since RS "breaks" BI, but it makes the map look absolutely amazing. The map is a modified BI vanilla with the eastern regions being added from the RS map (I believe).
And thanks Halie, I'm probably going to just use the Spoiler method until I figure out how to resize them manually.

With the pagans of Ancrya crushed, the heir to the Satanae throne moves on the city itself; only garrisoned by a single general.
The armies of Gehenna and Gomorrah are about to merge under the great general, Valefor. He's got some pretty nice stats for a general this early in the campaign (thanks Halie/Mak ), and more importantly, he collects souls .
Further to the west in Thessalonica, our agents have just completed their first assasination and they've picked up a pretty nice trait...
At the end of the turn, an army of pagan spearmen attack one of our armies. The odds are 3 : 5, and they have 3 times the infantry I do.
What they do not have; however, is this rock.
I place my spearmen and swordsmen in the front with my archers and general behind them. The men who have taken up the call of the Dark Lords may be numerous and strong, but many are cowards that will rout at the first sight of the enemy. . .my general is there to "encourage" them to hold the line...
The battle begins and the pagans advance. They march just within range of my archers, then they do something strange. All of their units start running forwards and backwards, almost as if the soldiers know they are doomed, but whenever they attempt to flee and save themselves, their ignorant officers manage to get them to turn around. . .in any case, my archers almost run out of ammo picking them off one at a time.
Then they stop "dancing" and the meat grinder begins. I allow this to go on for quite some time; their units were hovering between "shaken" and "wavering".
Then the heathen captain attempts to flank my infantry and strike at my archers, but they are cut short when my Beleth cavalry emerge from the trees and surprise them. The pagan cavalry, although much stronger than that of my cavalry, rout within seconds...
...his army soon gets the message as well.
This battle results in a second heroic victory.
While loading the Stat. Map, a nice quote came up for the loading screen. I must say, all of the quotes for the loading screens are great; much better than the ones I find on most other mods.
The next turn, Ancrya is taken and, true to form, it is exterminated. No mercy for those that resist the Dark Lords!
