Lucky bastard! That the reason for the Iroquois or you like the MW ;)
Watercolor terrain [drool] Love that terrain!
[lol] I like it too, gonna keep it...
Iroquois: I chose them, as I said bcoz I never player them in a PBEM b4.
turn 43:
The Aztecs and Greeks were fighting a lot last 10 turn but then...
I got sneak attacked by the Aztecs! [eek] I saw them coming and got
writing, Mysticcism and 34 gold for gpt. I could have gotton
horseback too but dont want it yet... [evil]
Still it sucks as the destroyed one of my warriors... The next turn
they lose 1 jag and the other retreats, I am save now.

Great !
Gotta love those Aztecs he ? [groucho]
[lol]
Your cities are real spaced out I find for a crammed Tiny map no ?
Left of the spear NW I have build a city and another one will be placed on the iron. The other
ones were just the best options considering the pacement of lux-res...
turn 56:
The last city to be build will be a few tiles south of the capitol.
After that it will be barracks and MW's!

See open thread for the recent war screens!
I have sent 5 mw's southwards and after healing another 4 also southwards but closer to Diggers
troops. I think Digger has seen that his southern flank lies open and retreated his Immortals. I
think he will attempt to defend that southern city. But then he will have to deal with the 2nd
group of 4 mw's. Next to that he has the 2 mw's, 1 sword reinformencents that approach him from
the north... There are also a spear, scout and mw near the rubble from his destroyed city.
It doesnt look that well for him from an tactical point of view. I am seriously surrounding him
with 3 groups of units. Isuppose he cant defend all his towns...

[u]EDIT</u>
I regrouped in 3 groups:
I - 5 mw's
II - 4 mw's, 1 scout
III - 3 mw's, 1 sword, 1 spear
Digger abondomed Gordium. We both lost some units. But now the Greeks declared war on me
resulting in losing my road towards Digger! I have moved al my units towards Persepolis.
Digger seems real weak and is withdraing all the time. If he leaves Persepolis to finish off
some of my units I might have a try at taking Persepolis. If this fails I will go for Greece
first. Digger can then rebuilt his cities but I think he already lost the game (losing 3 towns,
including size-6 Pasergadae).
Turn 85:
I failed to take Persepolis, Digger had 4 spears in it and my 1st 4
attacks all failed. I dropped my scout and 2 wounded mw's as bait, to
draw him out of Persepolis, the turn before but too bad my 7 other
mw werent enough. So, I dropped the rest on his furs with a spear to
protect them. I swapped my cities to Temples, I will need them soon:
Republic in 4 turns. I will focus on some expansion to the NW and NE
and peace with Digger. This game might take some longer (Knights?)
I guess... In any case, the damn Greeks make it not possible for me
to keep attacking Digger with fresh troops! [rant]
Digger has lost 3 cities, his empire is heavily damaged. It sill looks
good IMO. If he refuses peace I will start terrorizing his rebuilding
plans! [evil]

Can you maximise the current damage and do some pillaging while you are there? It seems a shame to lose the momentum you have...

Thought about that too, but I wont risk losing a mw for a pillaging action...

I am suprised that you would have offered me peace. I might not have resigned to easy. After relising i had made the alliance with the greeks i expected you would bring the Aztecs onto me. I also had all my units bar 2 in the capital. So if you had moved to the other cities I would have been forced to take a bit of a gamble on were to move my immortals to.
Peace would have given me the chance to re-build, and i would have re-built alot closer together, making it harder for you to attack again.
Still I enjoyed the game, a short game is a good game in my books. And I have learnt a few things as well from this game. A few extra horseman and a few less immortals would have been more useful i think.
