Well I can't speak for him, but I would have gone home and built things if you'd left Cecil alone.
You'd have left your ally to be steamrolled by the HRE and Spain? And possibly England? :D
Hey Myth, what's your new king called?
Lol I have no Idea, I didn't pay attention :) Hes some guy or other, I think he is in a huge cav heavy stack up North. Why?
He's too arrogant. I need to deal with him like I did the other one. :P
That won't be easy as I'll start abusing forts and balistae from now on :P

We should marshall all our armies and have a massive pitched battle. :yes:
You would lose horribly based on what I've seen in Southern Italy and what I know my allies have :D
Just like I lost horribly in Northern Italy. :D

yea a computer led army always is an easy target. but still theres a limit to what is possible. that force besieging genoa simply was too powerful for taking it on. if i d taken my entire cav force in the north to the field i might had won the battle but i d surly lost almost my entire force. and there is a spanish army embarked at the shores that had besieged the city again this round and with my forces decimated i d have lost the city anyway so i rather took out this battalion coming from the north. tho ur military is a hydra one head off and 2 new are there already crawling for my ball sack. defeating those armies always had been an instant relieve on my positions but lastly it means nothing since u are right away making 1-1.5k more money the next round pumping out new guys chinese. actually if this was an auto resolve game i d been down a while ago already. fought battles really favors the weak. with fought battles there always at least is a glimpse of a chance. thats a good thing otherwise its just about pumping in troops and thats about it and the most potent faction always wins. so fighting battles is making it more interesting and kept my lil kingdom alive for the last rounds. tho actually the game had been lost for a while already. ever since i missed that one hre army coming from the northeast it was game over. with that army invading from the northeast i was forced to keeping an entire standing army in the south without even having a general commanding it. and without the chance of building any forts this army was doomed to staying in constantinople for a long time sucking the milk. the resources i was putting into this army i terribly lacked in italy. that was the decisive thing. not spying the region in the northeast was the mistake that took me out. moving this army across the mountains and coming up with it out of the blue killed it. although i kept on running decent game afterwards still but it was just prolonging the obvious. that one move was the decisive moment of the game for me. it was like an interception at the end of the second quarter. the one where u are thinking like yea it was bad but we still got 2 quarters left so we are making that up but in the end the team loses exactly coz of that one interception. happened to me before. but it is what it is. i mean im always hoping for a 4 quarter interception in favor of my own team but its pretty unlikely that anything drastic like that is happening here. spain probably is taking my castle at the adriatic within the next 2 to 3 turns and then its game over for me in italy. the northern front is still doing well but without italy im out of money. whatever. im going down fighting putting up a good last one
1. You play very well. I'm yet to see someone impress me more in fought battles. You and Thanatos are the top dogs ATM in my book and I've been saying it for a while.
2. That army was just south of my Eastern most settlement, it had just conquered it. I assume from the AI now, since I did take you by surprise. I made a break for Constantinople but the garrison there was too much, but I did stay in proximity to see if i could snag it if you emptied the troops. So, I can't take credit for making this army or moving it East, that was the previous player. I just took it and went for Constantinople and took some of your Eastern lands along the way.
3. The Northern front would have still crumbled. It takes some time to build ballistae and lug them to the front lines but you'll see what I mean when I move out now.

Though I do not want to diminish Silver Shield's play by any means (in fact, he has been smacking me around since I took over the HRE), he managed to take out a full stack of ONLY FMs and feudal knights with a 1/2 to 2/3 stack of mostly magyar cav and some hung. nobles. Jav cav and missile infantry are very OP when compared to the much more expensive heavy knights...
In SS 6.4 you would get crushed by the AI on very hard if you tried the same thing (an army with 10 General's Bodyguards units alone will be able to steamroll anything if the likes). Arrows would do little damage... Sigh.

u are overplaying that. it wasnt a full stack of generals and feudal knights. it was 6 or 7 general freshmen, some ordinary knights and some light cav. and i wasnt just fielding horse archers but mercenary spearmen and light spearmen, bowmen and crossbowmen and a ballista and 4 generals on my side with gold and silver experience and traits that are giving them extra hit points. and the thing is in an open field battle i d stood no chance. it was the entrenchment in the fort that gave me a decisive advantage. with one massive block of horses massing in the centre of this tiny fort the chances of hitting something is at 100 percent. and in a fort the computer isnt charging anything with the general units while my spearmen are slowly approaching through the tiny tent rows where every flank is protected. in that environment even light spearman are killing of horses at ease. and contrary to the computer i am charging even in a fort. straight in the back. add to this whole scenario some strange sallies of already decimated general and knight units by the computer - like all one after another not en mass- that easily meant the death or routing and being caught by my faster horse achers plus some other strange computer tactics and theres the result. the thing is the fort meant for protecting this army turned into a bloody trap. if this army had stood in the open field i hadnt even fought the battle

There are a number of ways he could have found it: a spy could have seen it, a unit or other agent could have walked into it, a watchtower could have spotted it and finally for some reason hidden armies just are visible sometimes, maybe it's a bug or maybe the hiding is not supposed to be 100% reliable.
He can answer you if he wants but he is also quite within his rights not to if he wants to keep the information to himself...
I was not asking to accuse, I was asking out of curiosity and to learn in case there was something I didn't know. In the FN game I saw the use of towers and scouting with the clergy for that exact smae reason, and was sorry to not have done it when invading Poland.

I'm not sure I will actually have all that many achievements. I will likely be the most powerful faction but I could easily not be the actual winner of the game.
in any case, I've really enjoyed this game and it has been very interesting to win a war against you silver without actually winning any of the battles.

ah, it is good to see that the North African legion finally learned to fight like true Frenchmen! I'm sure many of the enemy horses tripped on those grubby little peasants and bruised their riders terribly!
Meanwhile, the French nobility gathers in Eastern France, celebrating the sighting of a Hungarian army near the border. Hundreds of dirty peasants who mar the beautiful landscape of france have been drafted into the army to meet this new "threat."
Meanwhile in the North, more soldiers are drafted into the French army as news of Hungarians spilling into the Northern territory of the HRE reaches them. Finally, the mighty French army stationed in Italy attacks in all directions, taking Milan and besieging many a pathetic Hungarian fort.

I'm sorry you read it that way, I was actually trying to highlight just how badly the French army has been getting destroyed by you guys. I was trying to give a little humor to the way I have managed to win this war while failing to ever actually outmaneuver or out-command you, simply grinding down your troops through zerging.
I like the thought of the French noblemen sitting back and laughing as they mindless send hordes of men off to die in wave after wave. Winning the war only because of their money and the amount of bodies they can throw at the problem.
I certainly didn't mean to gloat, and am far from certain I am going to win his game. I have been pumping out so many troops that France is hardly developed, and this attack of your stopped it from getting any more so.
Jeez. SS would have sent IRL assassis after me if he had played in UotI. IMO this light-hearted jabbing and "IIII KILLED YOUR ARMYYY NYAAAH" comments are part of the hotseat atmosphere here. Taking things way too seriously is a .net trademark :D

okay, I had a strange occurrence on my turn.
Dijon is besieged by a large army of hungarian horsemen, but, having a decent garrison of spearmen I decided to try a sally since it was sure to be lost next turn. I hoped that I would maybe be able to take down one of his generals.
While fighting the battle, things went poorly as they refused to come fight me in the gateway where I would have a chance, I moved out and quickly started to lose. Seeing it was a lost cause, I quit the battle...
and was awarded with a victory screen.
I don't see why this is and it doesn't really seem fair to keep the result. I have seen this happen before while attacking a castle where simply having units in the town square will give you an auto win if you quit, but never when sallying.
Aside from that battle all my moves were quite strait forward. Should I replay the turn?
phonicsmonkey
09-12-2011, 08:58
I'm pretty sure that's a known bug which we've come across before.
I think you'll need to replay and to try to replicate somehow what the result would have been if you had gotten a draw instead. Probably the easiest thing to do is to just disband some of your defenders and leave the siege in place, as if you had lost the sally but been able to retreat back into the castle. Do you have a rough idea of how many you had lost by the time you quit?
Nightbringer

In addition, the following rules should be observed:

4 spearmen militia units with zero experience vs 3 generals 6 horse archers 2 mercenary spearmen 2 bowmen
Nightbringer
09-12-2011, 20:16
Yes, almost all cavalry, if I had goaded them into attacking at the gate I could have easily wiped out a large portion of that cavalry. I was not fighting the battle to prevent sacking, I was fighting it because I knew that I would have a better chance of actually damaging your army if I fought the battle.
SilverShield
09-14-2011, 03:46
yea and if i had been eligible for the draft i could have easily played pro football. so what. it doesnt matter what could have happened if something else had happened. ur battle was lost from the beginning. a total non winner. no matter what ur intention or purpose was. u prevented sacking and it was obvious that it was going to happen. thats whats up. and already forget about the game this just a matter of right or wrong. just like the other thing

u prevented sacking
Hold on, your army should still be in siege and so can sack next turn. This is why I asked him to replay and just disband some troops instead of initiating the battle again.
If he had sallied, fought the battle, quit and earned a draw like he intended to do this would have been the same outcome - his army reduced and yours still in siege (and able to sack).
Actually you've done better because you haven't lost the troops that his would have killed while sallying.
I don't see a problem?

Yes, this. I tried to fight to kill off some of your cavalry because I know that you would manage to defeat the garrison with basically no loses. I have seen you fight and win battle with the odds stacked more severely against you, so I saw no reason not to attempt it. I was having no success so I gave it up as a lost.
It had nothing to do with sacking, and still doesn't. You will sack the city next turn, just as you would have if I had done nothing.

are u guys serious?what are u trying to pull off here i mean serioulsy. the thing is and u totally know this that if u are fighting a battle against a besieging army and u are losing this batlte then the city falls. totaly irrelevant what ur intention or purpose was or how many enemy troops u killed in between. when u are losing the battle there is no more sacking option for the besieging army no matter how many troops got killed in between. and if its obvious that a battel against a besieging army is a total non winner then fighting it is just wrong. thats what im saying. and this battle was a total non winner. zero chances. u ve all been playing this game enough uall know that the besieging army never attacks the city when its getting attacked from within. all it does is falling back taking a defensive position far in the back of the battlefield. thats what always happens. it never attacks the city. and u all know this. stop acting foolish like if the horses were ever rushing to the gates into the spear of the men waiting there. never happens. but yeaim already sensing someone coming up with hey it happened to me before. yea right. its not happening.never has never will. stop that nonsense. the computer army always falls back and is fighting in the open field. thats whats up. and in the open field the spearman are getting gunned down from the distance. thats it. and even if some troops had gotten kileld on my side the battle still had been lost meaning the city falls and sacking is denied. if for some reason now the army is besieging the city still fine still fighting the battle was wrong in the first place. and thats what im saying. thats how im getting the rule and thats how i ve been respecting it. otherwise i d fought for genoa and simply killed off some troops coz i felt like killing off some troops is better than havingthe city gone with zero losess on the besieging side even tho the entire battle had been lost or i d fought the battle for the adriatic castle and killed off some troops there even tho the entire battle had been lost simply coz i d have felt like its better than doing nothing and seeing the city gone with zero loses on the besieging side. in each case i d denied the sacking option coz even if i d killed of some troops the entire battle still had been lost coz each battle had have been a total non winner. just because u are feeling like killing off some troops is better than seeing the city gone with close to zero loses on my side still fighting the battle is wrong. the same thing is happennig if the balcan city is under siege. either im sallying out killing off some troops coz im thinking like yea its better than killing no troops tho still losing the entire battle denying sacking coz the battle lastly for sure is a total non winner or im acting according to the rule which means im doing nothing keeping my damn troops in the city allowing sacking no matter whether im feeling like maybe killing off some troops by sallying out coz its better than killing off no troops by staying in. but thats what the rule is about. stsaying in losing the battle next round even if it means that u aint getting a shot at killing some troops coz even if some troops got killed the battle still is lost if the battle is a total non winner. and if the battle is a total non winner fighting it is just wrong coz sacking is denied then. and this battle was a total non winner. thats whats up. so even if for what reason ever the siege is still in place now fighting the battle was wrong in the first place. thats what i was saying. but instead of simply realizing that so its not happening again there is just stupid wish wash and total denial of the obvious like it was all good. are u kidding me. what is that. but man seriously im done with wasting one more second of my precious time on nonsense like this. either u are really not getting it or u are just trying to pull shit. guess its the latter u smart guys aint u. but forget about fooling me. aint happening. im getting it damn right. all u are doing is playing this shit on me like "ur getting it wrong", "it wasnt meant like that", "its ur fault coz u aint getting it" bla bla nonsense. thats what happening all the time here instead of someone just being a man coming clean and thats about it. alright the battle was wrong i simply didnt realize it. im redoing it. aint happening again. 2 lines and thats about it and we good. thats what my intention was with the first post. letting u and actually anyone realize that this battle was wrong. realizeit redo it accept it so its not happening again and we good. zero problems. but instead there is this nonsense of denial and excuses and burying. who does that. seriously. but whatever last time im wasting on more second on nonsense like that. anyone do ur thing the way u want it but forget about fooling me and blaming it back on me and coming up with nonsense. aint working aint working

Silver, I really do think it's possible to sally out of the city, take out some troops and then withdraw back inside the gates, quit the battle and earn a draw. I've done this myself in SP. In this case the siege would remain in place.
This is what I think NB was attempting and that's why I don't think it was a violation of the rule.
Think of it this way, if he was just trying to deny you the sack why would he even have bothered to fight it? He'd have just AR'd it and taken the loss.
Let's move on from this.
You can indeed sally, go back behind walls, and end with a draw.

im doing the actual turn now
alright looks like a Mayweather shot there in game. gotta protect urself at all times right. lots of nasty vds out there grabbing for ur crown jewels. a nasty clap waiting everywhere ready for infecting a team mate the nasty way straight through the holy grail of team mate ship. heard of an incident where one member of the Cardinals was giving the graps to half of his then fellow team mates via the locker room. and the guy was born and raised in West Adams. what a coincident... underestimating someone s passion for where hes coming from can be an itchy thing. just a rumor but we all sparred the toilets in Stanford Stadium back then. u never know whats true about some rumor. if u wanna be safe always make sure to know where the Trojans are. anyway. im thinking about sending a proposal to Nightbringer so im waiting for his answer before im doing my turn. im sure hes answering this later today but im just home for another 30min. in case im making it back to my crib again today im doing this later otherwise im having this up early midday tomorrow so just a slight delay anyway
and for me the game finally ends in 2 turns. 15 turns of downfall been long enough already. and i adjusted my last rounds strategy towards the game ending in 2 turns. so thats what it is for me. long live the Alamo. whatever u guys are up to obviously is ur thing

I think I was a little confused before, cause either all Egypt's success against the Legions of Darkness were covert or he's including all of western Europe in Legions of Darkness, in which case I object! I have been working very hard to earn Spain the honor of such a title: I betrayed my allies, carried out coordinated assaults of their mostly defenseless territories, continued my war against the east, and I forced my people to become devil-worshipers. What more do I have to do to become the sole Lord of Darkness!
:clown:
Legion of Darkness was all of Western Europe. And that reminds me of another victory I had. :tongue:
Eggies: 7
Legion of Darkness: 0

Just to be clear, let's play to the end of turn 40 - we can take all our screenshots and stuff for the achievements on turn 41.
Go the Eastern Alliance, we made it! :beam:
Hungary up.

Hold it right there! Who kicked the HRE out of Italy? I believe you guys got yourselves kicked out of Italy long before I finished the job, although you did kill off the HRE which was both surprising and quite impressive
:clown:
The killing of the HRE part was done 90% by SIlver Shield. The other 10% were me sacrificing an army he would not normally beat by placing it in a fort, and then having all my remaining FMs in a stack with a bunch of Teutonic Knights, which he beat in the field with inferior forces. But such is the way of fought battles.

Silver, I'm both impressed and pissed that you swooped in out of nowhere and destroyed my ballista. I really wanted to take Milan :bow::stare: Just one question, what up with the new found love for France :clown:
On a brighter note, France has once again been beaten back from Venice and my apocalyptic ponies have rushed in to save my Greek town from the Turks and Hungarians
Being dead... I like it!
Fixed. :clown:

How, How did you beat my army at venice! do you have a hidden balista there?!?!
(I'm not saying you cheated or anything, I just really want to know what I am missing because I have felt sure both times that you couldn't get to me.)
Fixed. :clown:
No thanks to you :bow:
No thanks to you :bow:
I killed Emperor Henry and took two other settlements off you. (I think that's all I did, maybe Bologna and Durazzo as well). :clown:

What I did this time around was take my army up to the fort of mine that you were sieging and beat your forces there, so that I could get access to the north side of Hungary's fort. I moved my army there and then attacked your army from the angle.
Nightbringer

OH!!!
I had thought that Hungary's fort blocked attack from all angles. Cleverly done Thanatos, and shame on me. :)

Egypt
So that's it! Next turn we'll take pics and claim achievements...
I claim stupidest expansion achievment. :clown:
Hungary.
Made it through the game without losing an army. :2thumbsup:

EDIT: Two settlements under siege, by the way. Not that it matters.
Does the game end after this turn, or will we continue to finish it?

I claim the Most Enemies Achievement, think I even beat the AI. Sorry I left you out Zim, just couldn't reach England in time...
I also claim these achievements:
The X Christian (for being both extreme and no longer counted among their ranks, stupid Pope)
Short-Sighted (Spain would not last long if this game had continued... )
And...The Backstabber (not sure how I earned this one, but it does sound cool :p )

Silver said he's out at the end, I'm out too after turn 40 but happy for others to continue of course
And can I get an achievement for failing to fight any land battles? I got wiped out in a couple but never managed to initiate one...except against the AI.

That was true for me up until this last turn, guess you got lucky!
