a question: 2 (or more) Front wars?

How do you guys deal with these situations? I end up in every game getting hit with a 2 front war (OR MORE!!!)....then, i simply cannot keep up....The AI then stomps me BIG time....since all my resources are split....

So, how do you all overcome these situations?

Like I said, I think every game ends this way for me....

Keep your enemies on one side or have masses of summoned units on one side and regular units on the other.

The only time I was able to stop them was when I pushed for big blood summons that can hold a province alone against a sizeable army. They were rolling me back from all sides until I started to field a sufficient number of ice devils and archdevils, and got my cyclops pretender involved as well. Breath of winter and quickness with ice devils, fire shield and heat from hell with archdevils, and blade winds from cyclops finally helped me to stand ground, and later push forward. Definitely not the only strategy that will work, but one of them.

Ghost riders a level 8 death conjuration. Works like a charm if you have a good supply of death gems. Then you just cast Awaken Hunger to take the province.

Choose your battles. Find ways to delay and deplete the armies of one of both attackers, such as infiltrations, assassinations, amphibious assaults behind the lines, local defense, and fortresses. Meanwhile, amass one or two armies until you can defeat at least one of their main armies, and do so. Avoid risky/deadly major battles.
