Well, I just have to learn to build enough troops in these 1-1's. I had just enough to conquer Korea and push back Rome with swords, making room for a new core, but TGL was out of reach, I thought. Especially when at that time I needed to consider that the vikings had access to their UU. So instead, I wanted to focus on developing a new core around Wonsan (sort of exploiting the far away palace-bug with a ring of distance 5). I did move the capital early, but that's because I just got a GL when razing Korea's last town, and I didn't want to have it around for long. I hoped to have a few more turns for setting good defense in the new core, but Aggie timed his attack perfectly. That single Ansar warrior near Trondheim was just to nag Aggie a bit, too bad he didn't just go around it
.
Third loss in a row, but I'm learning a lot from these games against humans!
