Be careful about sacking... the AI is pretty serious in this one diplomacy-wise. There's not a whole lot of things you can do if you're pillaging even rebel christians, Christian factions will hate you.

Sorry for the delay ATPG, got caught up in a hailstorm of RL. Back now though and ready to play out the end game.
The Georgian counter efforts are focused around one of their towns, I won't say which, but I've decided to go all of nothing in it's defense. It's likely they march to their doom, but using a turtle strategy and without the ability to march on Ani without being outflanked, I see little choice.

ATPG vs. Monk. Broken Crescent 1.5
Ayyubids versus Georgia
Turn 19
Strategy: Blitzer
Current Priority: Main Objectives Completed
Events this turn:
The final battle between the forces of Sultan Sallahuddin Ayyubid and Memphet Mephe Demetre has come to pass.
The Battle of Dvin
The Memphet's forces held the hills leading to Dvin, one of Georgia's remaining settlements. So far as we could tell, this was his main army, led by none other than the Infidel King himself. What follows is the grim account of one of the most epic battles of our time, as Saladin's forces attempt to take the hill from the greatest Georgian army ever assembled, who are fighting with the righteous purpose of defending their homelands from our deadly invasion forces.
Already unable to sleep, and always terrified for his life, the Georgian King is about to have more reasons to fear death, as I send no less than 13 able assassins against him.
By the end of the wave, he lost so much authority that it went negative, and this was displayed on screen as 10 Authority (!) :laugh4:
But the King still lived, even though he was completely psychotic and terrified of everyone and everything. He was petrified of his own troops, and slept in his armour inside of a giant iron box with air holes that was locked from the inside.
Still, when the battle came, the King was eager to face his phantom menace. He was tired of staying awake all night, tired of the constant attempts on his life from the unseen enemy, tired of personally killing everyone and everything that looked at him funny. He was fed up with being afraid. And so, in a brief moment of sanity, the Georgian King rallied his troops at the foothills of Mount Dvin.
His speech before the battle was the best his troops had heard in well over a year... it seemed as if the King's mind was restored now that he could see his foe. He vowed to annihilate every single last Muslim warrior they faced today, even if he had to fight them all by himself.
King Demetre gave a long and glorious speech that day, telling his troops that the foul Muslim invaders had taken their homes, butchered their children, enslaved their women, and desecrated Christian Churches. He told his troops that they were the finest army ever assembled by their people, and that their weapons, armour, and experience were unmatched anywhere in the world. He pledged that he would annihilate these forces, so long as his men would never falter, never flee, and never surrender.
With tears in the eyes of his proud troops, they shouted to heaven itself, threatening to destroy the hated Horde.
The enemy have peppered us with arrow fire from their superior vertical position, but we still advance. Some of our Turkoman mercenaries have caught up with us, and are returning fire.
Al-Aziz himself leads the charge, and does not spare himself from the bloodshed.
The battle is epic. Though we outnumber them, they still manage to destroy nearly half our forces, and their generals are all intact. We move slowly up the hill, unable to chase the horse archers who still fire upon us.
Our heaviest swordsmen catch up with the Generals engaged in melee and begin to hack away at the superior Georgian armour. Only our best mercenary warriors are capable of penetrating these defenses.
We strike down one of the enemy generals, but two more remain, and their King still lives, rallying his remaining forces and firing endlessly upon us. Our forces are seriously depleted, but we still fight.
Our reinforcements are chasing down the enemy horse archers, so we may have a free shot at the King himself.
The entire enemy army has been captured by our swift mercenary forces. We hold them ransom for the enemy Prince, but the Georgian nation is bankrupt and cannot afford our terms.

Well fought ATPG. ~D
Your army was NOT easy to destroy, even when ganged up on with 2 stacks of decent troops. Good position for your forces to be in, on top of a hill. I might have lost that battle if my general had been slain. That was risky.
If you took a look at my faction leader screenshot, THAT army was going to sneak in from the east and annihilate you after the assault from the west failed but crippled you. And I had two more armies fighting their way through Armenia and Turkey to get to you, and several more marching north through Syria.
It's good to be prepared...

Mucked up defence plan at Marseilles, forcing me to abandon it. Desperately trying to reform.

Began invasion of southern France this turn.Took Toulouse and Marseilles. Woe be upon the infidel, for his life is at an end. Crusaders spotted north of Venice. We are preparing our forces to take them down.
Since they eventually have to end up at Constantinople, we intend to destroy them there. Good luck, Ignoramus!

We had the oppurtunity to utterly annihilate a large French force and sink the French fleet at Cagliari this turn, but decided instead to honour the alliance.
Our own forces would have easily crushed them. Our commanders were most puzzled by the King's orders here. Apparently this King Lazlo has different ideas about warfare than previous Kings.
Next: The Turks rise against Ignoramus' France.

I hope the other Catholic faction's launched crusades against, as otherwise I'm sunk.

Re: Open Challenge: Turtle versus Blitzer
Surely you don't seriously expect the AI catholics to aid you effectively... The haven't put up any resistance so far.
I believe some of them might send a single stack, but my assassins will take care of them. I hope you brought spies, or else your own invasion forces will bite the dust without a commander. :wink:
I still have tricks up my sleeve. Just keep advancing...

Tutush the Holy Warrior versus Prince Louis the Infidel Crusader 897 Turkish Jihadis versus 1,346 French
Upon seeing the honourless infidel beseiging our rightful conquest, Ragusa, we have decided to eliminate these Westerners. We arrived via ship, and we surrounded the infidel with our numberless horse archers.
Our battle formation: Horse archers in the front, infantry in the rear, Qapakulu guards and Armenian Heavy Lancers and Alan Light Cavalry to the far right flank.
Initial movement, slowly advance the horse archers while goading their missile troops to reveal themselves. We immediatly charge forward with our heaviest cavalry and harass these brave fools.
This attack has made them impatient. Finally their entire army charges forward, and our heavy cavalry withdraws while our horse archers fire upon them.
The enemy Prince charges in, but it is far too late. Our infantry has arrived and will cut him down. Turkish reinforcements show up to pick off routers. Death is everywhere.
