Emperor

Just a flesh wound
Sometimes to win battles you have to make hard choices and sacrifices. In this battle you lost 25 units to combat with the enemy. Sometimes an outdated unit can get a needed boost of speed or armor with the right technology. Get used to watching the alerts on your mini-map as well - a second attack is easy to miss once you are defending the first one. Use this tactic to your advantage as well.
And yet, I lived
Over one hundred of your units were lost in this battle - even with such great losses, if they were well used against the enemy you did the right thing. Get used to studying the battle stats after each match with an opponent - did you have the right complementary mix of units? Did you make your enemy pay for every one of your losses? Every unit sacrificed is an opportunity to learn about your opponent.
Massacre
Two hundred of your units were lost in this conflict. Sadly, not every battle can be a sweeping victory where everyone returns to the feast table to boast of their skill. Sometimes, being a good general is about knowing when to throw everything against the enemy without reservation or hesitation. Today you know how that feels.

Live to Rebuild
For some leaders, losing 15 buildings in a single session would be a reason to retreat and resign. Not you.
Phoenix Rising
For some leaders, losing 50 buildings in a single session would be a crushing defeat - as long as you have wood and villagers you will carry on.
Live to Fight Another Day
Some leaders might aspire to build one hundred buildings in their entire reign. You lost that many this day and fought on valiantly. Stay strong!

Time to Stop Counting Buildings
Sure, generals say that every unit lost is mourned and every building razed is avenged - but after fifty thousand even the most obsessive counter gives up. You have seen civilizatons rise and fall endlessly - it is time to stop counting the buildings. Congratulations that you persevere, mighty leader.
