6 Birds with 1 stone

Killing 6 Birds with 1 stone...killing 6 family member-generals with 1 seige:

*The messages on the left are all from the death of a Getai family member.
After this battle, the Getai faction was "destroyed" and all their cities rebelled. :D


EDIT: Getai had around 4-6 cities. For some reason, they had their capital right along my borders... This was my FIRST battle against the Getai too.

So I basically destroyed a faction with a single, first battle. :)

Huzzah! Just how many cities did they have at the time? I usually find that the AI spreads its family out, making it damnably hard to end the faction outside of total conquest.

Joint Pretty sick....

Nice! You get a cookie for "Spiffiest Elimination I've Seen in a While".

6 with one strike! You should sew it on a sash & wear it proudly :book:

lol, nice. Aseop's fables are great...

or I can make a head band, "6 in 1" :)

I think a faction is destroyed if both the faction leader and heir die in the same battle.

Good job, that should save you a lot of trouble. IIRC I've never lost a battle against the Getai but I usually take great casualties when fighting them. Crazy drapanai...

Its wierd, I haven't thought of that tale since I was a kid, then suddenly in a month it comes up like 3 or 4 times :balloon2:

^ lol, weird case of dejavu?

Something about eggs and baskets comes to mind. Nasty way for a faction to go, really.

No, two random guys will be given leader and heir when both current die at the same time. You have to kill every last member of a family to kill the faction. And when the AI gets down to one or two family members, Captains will get promoted without have a "man of the hour" even. So it is very hard to destroy a faction my family loss unless you corner a half dozen guys in one city.

I'm impressed, we'll build you a triumphal collumn.

Triumph column? Can it be a custom made column? Then I want an Egyptian style obelisk engraved with Latin numerals, along with Kanjii/Chinese characters, mounted on a Greco-Roman style platform. Also, plate the whole thing with gold leaf mined from the sub-Saharan provinces.

:) :D :)

Nah, we'll just find one build by some old fart, cut off the heads and faces and put your's on them.

:( But that's just called "scavenging" a trumph column.

I'm pretty sure Philipvs Vallindervs Calicvla said "build."

I'm sure Constantine would disagree with you there :2thumbsup:

You can role play it. Some sort of religious festival where the nobility from all the Getai lands attends every year...or something like that.

I'm sorry, but for roleplaying, I lack imagination...I prefer something more materialistic...like an unique triumph column in the Getai capital. :)

lacking imagination ?

with a memorial column and Getai's habit to impale sacrifice to Zamolxis, there's material for something though

Some "Impaled Getai" in the stead of the "Dying Gaul" ?

I don't think the decaying corpses of dead Getai soldiers will serve well as building material for a "lasting" triumph column.

but I suppose it'll have to do... :/
