I am surprised that you've been taking down the AIs along the way ATPG. Surely a make-or-break, all-out, instantaneous assault on the player is just as effective (if it works of course) as an assault delayed by the charred corpses of the AI? With the distances involved, sacking the towns in the [direct] way is enough to fuel your epic war machine/s, isn't it?
And yet the rest of us in the other states and territories couldn't give two hoots about State of Origin, Ignoramus. Rugby, what's that?

Mostly I just like to kill and burn and pillage things.
Against Monk, you've taken out the KoJ but also attacked the Abassids, which seems like a bit of a detour when Georgia are due north.
Against Ichigo, you've really gone sideways by going through Italy to get to England (Moorish maps could be bad, I suppose).
Against Elite Ferret, you've so far gone straight across Anatolia, but I would think a detour in the Levant would be on your cards as well.
Surely these wars are expensive and time consuming, which could (possibly) be better spent taking on the player?
Not sure if it was ATPG's plan, but by delaying his attack he caused me to commit a strategical error. I pulled my forces back from Van believing his invasion was imminent and recruited every merc i could find. For two turns I haven't been making any money as my treasury has been stagnant, and only now am I realizing I need to go and take Van and get a surplus going again before the invasion comes.Quote:

Oh no, my friend, I am not mocking you. If anything, it's a compliment.
I consider your forces in a good position and dangerous. I want to prevent a war of attrition, and the best way I know how to do that is to end your ability to reinforce. I'd rather the war be quick and painless. I respect you too much in battle not to give you my all, sir.
by the way, I bribed away your fort. You can't assassinate units other than generals, as captains are instantly replaced.
Dummy question: What's AFK mean?
You've got me in a difficult position, i just noticed your surprise and I have to say "well done". You were intending on invading from the coast-line and slip in a corridor not defended by a fort. You'll find a fort blocking your path now.Quote:

AFK means Away from Keyboard, it means I may need to step away from the comp in an hour or two for a few hours, until then though i'm prepared to keep playing. Despite my precarious position i am digging the tension.
I haven't actually revealed my hand yet, Monk. The capture of Trebizonid is just one piece of the plan.

ATPG knows there's something else he needs to worry about, a full stack of HA and tough swords/spearmen just waiting to meet him and his Ayyubids. He's been keeping his men in forts, not giving me the chance to catch them unawares.. but if he can't get a spy in a settlement soon he may be forced to chance it.

Events this turn:
A huge fleet of ships carrying roughly 8 spies and an entire legion of my best troops snuck in from the west through the calm and undefended waters of the sea.
Another fleet transported my army blocking access to trebizonid into Georgian territory. Many assassination attempts on the Georgian King proved unsuccessful, but he lies awake at night trembling and muttering to himself, eyes wide open, dagger in hand. He has been reduced to insane paranoia.
Two Georgian cities were pillaged and burned to the ground. 3 stacks of troops now fortify their positions inside and just outside Georgian territory.
Few Georgian soldiers were harmed this turn, except those garrisoned. We await the Georgian counterstrike.
The Turks have claimed most of the lands I stole from the Romans, and Jerusalem has 2 full stacks of troops inside my territory from the Crusade event. However, none of them are in any position to harm me, as I've begun an invasion of Anatolia through the mediterranean islands and through Armenia. The romans are reduced in size to almost nothing, and the Turks are badly bloodied. The Armenians have too many forces to assault this turn, but they will lose a province in the meantime.

Nottingham was taken, spies detected enemy King, was surrounded by 3 stacks of Moorish troops.

As the crossbow bolt impaled him in the chest and knocked him from his steed, he knew that the battle for England was lost. The cold snow on the ground provided him with a comfortable landing. His body was unmolested as we turned to capture his troops, who never surrendered.
The English King slain, the English coffers too bare to ransom, the captured prisoners were taken to Nottingham, where they were promptly executed.
The Moorish Sultan bows to the English, whose valour and bravery are not to be underestimated. The new English King is woke in the morning by a messenger.
The message is from Caliph Miswar of the Moorish Caliphate:
Quote:
Greetings, noble King
Your people have fought gallantly. Worthy of recognition in the archives of the New Islamic Order. Now... it is finished. Surrender, and your lives will be spared.
It is not the custom of Kings to kill Kings, so we will accept you as our vassal and your people will be serfs, not slaves or prisoners. Their lands will remain unharmed, their wives untouched.
We do not wish to stay in this cold northern land, so if you would accept our terms of surrender, the war will end and we will leave behind only garrisons and administrators.
-Caliph Miswar
Welp I guess that's that. Thank you for the challenge ATPG. If you wish to play again just say so. I enjoyed this very much even though I lost the game.
I accept your rematch. Name your mod and faction.
You may feel free turtle, blitz, or expand moderately in this one, having already accepted the turtle vs hare challenge.

I would have captured Constantinople next turn... :cry:
What version of LtC do you have? As far as faction I'm not sure. England is really the only faction I really know well.
