hmm, perhaps a stratigic retreat to those mountains W of Rijkburg? Probably gives up a lot of territory, but can't tell without a new map.

Anyways, those armies will attack/defend with a value of 4 = (3 + rounddown(3x3)/6), but that's 23 Legions + 2 Armies. Only thing you can hope for is that he doesn't have a 2nd wave, so if you force him to attack spears on well defended land (hills, mountains, walled cities), and then counter with GS's while he's on shitty land, you may have a chance. Problem is that there's 26hp's of Armies to get thru before you can start killing Legions. My guess is that you'll need about 40 GS's to wipe out that stack, but that's just a gut feel, no calc's. Can you upgrade any warriors? Pull some AI in against him? Is a resource disconnect/reconnect allowed? If so, can you get some money quick for upgrades? (each warrior-> GS upgrade costs 3*30 = 90g)
