Yeah, at this point it's worth mentioning Tanya misunderstanding things and getting misunderstood is a bigger source of trouble for her than X in the LN and manga (though the manga pushes it a bit further than the LN), at least for the part covered so far in the anime. In those versions of events, Zettour didn't get interested in her because of Being X's meddling but because Zettour had heard of her when Lehrgen tried to prevent her from getting to War College and when she encountered him by pure coincidence in the library she thought it was a prime opportunity to show off to a brigadier general and launched into her world war thing. There's also a misunderstanding regarding X's intentions but that may not be true in the anime given how he's got a much more antagonistic relationship with Tanya.

Been catching up on episodes, I discovered this series through the manga but I've gotta say the anime's grown on me, and it's really interesting to see the way the anime and manga are pretty different takes on the same source material.

Tanya actually hasn't led very many people to their deaths though. I think maybe like 2 of her battalion died or something at most? If any?
Because her soldiers don't contradict her, and also because they're her precious human shields (though the anime places less emphasis upon this) and also because she values them as useful human resources. Contrast with the two episode 1 guys who complained about her and were deliberately sent to die in a bunker.

Yeah seriously by having Being X possess people to say its words we can empathize with Tanya being up against a supernatural being rather than just think "oh hey I think I used that as a monster in Persona."
On the other hand you've gotta keep in mind that in those other versions her being "up against" being X is really one of Tanya's many misunderstandings. X, by and large, doesn't antagonize her, in fact she's technically his apostle in that era. His only acts regarding her up until Mary Sue are reincarnating Tanya, giving her a relic and forcing her to pray when she uses it, none of which are against Tanya from X's point of view. X is having her learn faith and drum up faith in others.
