1. So this happens: My sister's elves attacked a group of neutral units. After the battle, one of the neutral units retreats into an empty territory, routed (obviously). She had planned to use second mobilize movement to move into the empty territory, which is now occupied by the routed neutral unit. Would this count as a second battle, thus not allowed? (we had ruled it as not allowed).
It would be a second battle, so you are correct that it isn't allowed, UNLESS you attempt diplomacy. If you attempt diplomacy, the result will depend:
- If gold, the units ally with you (but stay routed)
- If grey, the units will retreat to an uncontrolled area (even though they are routed, it has been officially ruled that this is an exception to the normal "can't move if routed" rule).
- Ir red, your units would be forced to retreat, because it would be a second battle otherwise.
Even if all the units are routed, it would still be considered a battle.
2. Several elven archers attack neutral sorcerers. They both activates special ability (orb thingy). Would the archers kill the sorcerers before the sorcerers got buffed?
Yes. If both the attacker and defender units draw Orbs for a round of combat, you resolve the attacker's orbs first. Thus, the Archer units would deal damage to the Sorcerers, killing them. After this, the Sorcerer orbs would resolve, and any surviving sorcerers would now get the buffed health.
3. Moving into a home realm is considered a battle right? So you can't move units in the most deep area of the home realm from outside the home realm in a single mobilize/conquer movement even if all home realm areas are empty?
Yes, any time you move into an enemy-controlled area, it would count as a battle, and home realm areas are always controlled by somebody; if they are empty, they are controlled by the home realm player by default. Home Realm areas are NEVER "uncontrolled".
