Battle of Lagash

The Battle of Lagash was the first major battle during the Great Powers' Wars involving Elam. The kingdom invaded Karduniash from the south and inflicted many successive defeats on the country. 
The Battle of Lagash was won by Elam with few casualties on their side and allowed the Elamites to take over the city of Lagash and then proceed north, to link up with Assyrians near Eshnunna. The Elamites took many war prisoners, though some of them were soon incorporated into their army, due to already having had little allegiance to Karduniash. The young general himself, Zikarsin, was made into an Elamite officer and began quickly climbing through the ranks, eventually becoming a full-fledged general of the Kingdom of Babylonia within the EC.
