I did no such thing, but if i had it would be quite a feat from the grave
On a serious note you need a lot more cats asap, otherwise Stapels stack will just amble along taking your cites at will.

^^Haha, how did I miss that
Yes, well I spent some catapults damaging one of his two stacks attacking Damascus. I did quite some damage, but unfortunately it appeared his other stack was strong enough after all to take the city anyway. I'm mostly building catapults already.

Victory!
Stapel's stack at Najran has been defeated, with about five nearly-dead units of mine still standing. I reinforced the city with a newly built catapult, as well as the last Crossbowman built by Reeniville, and the two units (crowwbos+longbow) I pulled out of Reeniville earlier. As you can see, there is an interesting development where Stapel has left his border city empty. Since I can see most of the surrounding area, it might be worth it to send a few units over once he has moved his into my territory, so he can't get them back in time.

Sent a minor strike force towards Robigrad. A single Archer has appeared there, imported from Connor City. I should be able to defeat it, and Stapel's forces near Najran should not be able to attack me before I take the city.

I hate to suggest razing such a pretty city, but....I'm going to say that I would probably be inclined to raze Robigrad.

Well it still takes out a bunch of improvements by taking the city, so stapel would have to rebuild them if he were to recapture it. Plus he loses all the production and commece.
Not as huge an impact as razing but its still something. Most important thing is it mean stapel has to double back so that leaves more time to build units before he attacks other cities

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
EDIT: I took Robigrad. He upgraded the lone Archer to a Longbowman but it didn't help him. The city only has two improvements left Also, I pulled my remaining forces out of Najran, there is no way I can possibly hold it.

If i was in your shoes i'd keep pushing past Robigrad to Nardona Farma, Connor City and Kalemegdan even. Use the troops for Najran you pulled out to do this.
Materially this does do much damage but psychologically it puts doubt in his mind as to what your doing. In essence your bluffing a position of strength. It might throw him off balance, it might not but i think its worth the risk. Disclaimer - I'm dead in this game so what would i know
