Interesting to see that Stapel irrigated the plains wines here - AFAIK, that's completely pointless in despotism......
No peacefull building here I see!
I had a bit bad luck when attacking Erik's warriors. The loss of the city sucks, but the good thing is that this city (my 2nd city) was not in the first ring and also wasn't place good for a 2nd ring. In fact it annoyed me for a long time! Still the loss sucks.
The warrior did not survive........
Jack, The irrigating of the wine plains was indeed useless. Soemhow I was thinking wines add two food.....
Since turn 100 Egypt and teh Celts have started an offensive against
their neighbours. Eventually with the help of the Spanish and the
Zulus England and the Iroquois fall...
Situation in turn 118:

On turn 150 Egypt attacks their longtime allies the Zulus. With the
Egyptian troops partly in the north this was the cue for a Celtic
offensive into the Southern part (former Iroquios lands) of Egypt!
Celtic troops in southern Arabia were waiting for sometime for this
opportunity... [evil]

More news will follow! In the end of turn 151 Egypt lost 6 cities
(inculding the and Hanging Gardens) and the military loses are equal
so far.
So in clear you attacked Stapel and razed 6 of his cities ?
With knights ?
With a couple of knights and a bunch of Gallic Swords! Also his attack on the Zulus got stalled
for some turns. We are in the aftermath of this raid now...
So it was just a punitive raid and not a proper invasion right ? Update your spoiler please ! [mad]
I lost 6 or 7 non-core cities and quite some troops. But now the former Iroquis land has been cleaned from the Celts.
Turn 156:
An unexpected 'sinterklaas suprise' for our scout knight! [evil]

The knight army and 4 other knights died in our raid. 2 cannons were captured.
Of course I immediately killed all ERIKK's knights. But I had to make peace with Zulu.
Turn 168: WAR vs Arabs!

Turn 187. I declared war to ERIKK the previous turn and did a surprise landing between two cities. Unfortuenately, French troops are in betwen, so Erikk could send all his defresne to the other and leave the 2dn as good as open, as I can't attack him there! This sucks:

wow! nice!
could have been thought up by me! :D
[hmm] Mister 'Utah Beach' is cowardly hiding in his little town...
Maybe he is waiting for my Panzers to drive him back in the sea! [evil]
Oh wait,, that was another game... :(
Well, I use a hit and run tactic. Wee'll see who can hold out longest!
Can someone post a minimap here please?

Next turn, they will be healed!
And thus we will strike!
ERIKK surrenders!
I have tried to take this one town for several turns.
The solution was so fucking easy! In one turn I demolished every single city of ERIKK's except this besieged city of Burdigala. Via the back door! I used my swarm of slave workers to railroad my way through France and Spain. Some cavs were ready. I child can do the laundry ;)
Funny detail: I only came to think of this solution, because I feared ERIKK might do it to me...
It was a great game. Even if I would have lost it. It was simply fun from the start!
Thanks ERIKK
Better luck in revenge PBEM!
Yup we had peace negotiations in which I was stupid enough to rouse aspicion (sp?) about this
tactic. I planned it for several turns and was waiting for the Spanish to finish their rails.
Thats why I did not wanted to sign peace and made Stapel think about what the hell I was
planning. He figured it out and used it... I almost won as Stapel also left his borders empty.
30 turns ago I thought the game was lost but with Stapel stuffing all his units in his beach
head and attack my wave after wave I saw my chances rising and rising. I just needed a bit more
time for the Spanish to finish their goddamn rails... :(
This game had the most fighting in all my PBEMs. I think Stapel mass attacked my city 13 times
in 20 turns. I attacked his towns 3 times. (1 early in the game and two raids in the mid game).
In the seige of my town in the end game near the beach head we lost 7 to 13 units per turn, with
Stapel attacking with 30 to 40 cavs per turn. [eek] Fortunally I rushed enough rifles each turn to compesate the losses...
It was most definately the most fun PBEM I had with all the fighting against the human. Stapel
had the advantage of being Industrious and starting in a desert environment (both of us). I had
a difficult early game/expanding but managed to catch up. But I was not able to take over a
second AI resulting in me being smaller and weaker than Stapel.
We agreed on a revenge game... [hammer]
Thanks to you too Stapel! :)
