Tx, digger760, link fixed. I think I can manage withstanding Matrix and Killer for a while. I have a horseman army fending off Killer's WC's and horseys in the upper side of my empire, and I got swords waiting for Matrix downstairs. Killing Killer's SoD brought him back to weak compared to me, on the same level as Matrix is. Although I have had a handful of leaders vics no luck with GL's yet
. Of course, Egypt is having its GA for at least 10 turns now, so I expect quite more units shortly. I hope I can trim Matrix a little before he reaches Invention, because I wouldn't like to meet those zerks
, but I will if I have to
. I'm building a few boats to sink any naval attack that could come up, just in case.
The worst thing of this all indeed is the fact that the inhabitants of the other continent are probably laughing their arses off seeing us picking on each other, but Matrix and Killer don't want to talk about peace yet, so regretfully it isn't up to me
. I'm trying to keep Erikk close as a potential ally, but he hasn't got any techs for me or so he told me. Not really sure about that, but the other two are probably too far ahead to be very interested in trading (although I must say I haven't been in contact much), so Erikk will be my target for aid in the near future. For military help I don't think he has the army to cross the waters to Egypt yet (although that would be a very nice move
).
On the tech side I'm probably least, as I don't have any MA-techs yet and I'm ca. 17 turns from Eng @ min research. Financially I'm doing ok, though. I have 1000+ gp that I keep for when it's really necessary.
