No list of English victories? Must have been a slow turn. ~;p
One of my armies could not reach them in time. They run too quickly! But next turn i predict two towns lost, one gained, and two victories vs field armies :) By the way, King John died undefeated in battle. A mighty champion to be sure, and only fitting to be poisoned by the sneaky Irish.
Llywelyn still takes the cake though. 4 towns/castles stormed, 1 king, 2 princes, and around 4,000 Englishmen to his credit...
:book:
Still, John was a worthy commander, if not a worthy opponent.
What!?!? How dare you accuse us of assassination. It is clear that John saw how futile and wasted his life was and took it himself!
Will play the turn later, too tired for strategy right now.

Another English general has given up the fight and taken his own life, what a tragedy.
I also captured an english castle in the south and castletown from Norway.

Knew I should have had an rule about assasins and family members. ~:beam:
I wonder if any buildings disappeared with Castletown's capture. It's certainly happened with a few settlements I've taken. Obviously damaged buildings and a double capture are not neccessary.
The great thing is it is just one very lucky assassin with moderate skil. :)
As to castletown, I can certainly turn it over to you in exchange for peace and the Irish settlements you took from me.
Given that I'd landed two armies next to Castletown, either of which was superior to the one that took the settlement (which I'm assuming fled by sea anyway) I think I'll take my chances recapturing it.

Your overconfidence is your weakness. Wales will surely crush you. :)
Overconfidence? All a facade. I'm just hoping when my turn comes no more than one of those armies has vanished due to inability to retreat (while either of them should have been able to stand up to the Irish army, I've learned the danger in hotseats of counting on what "should" happen). :laugh4:
Nah, they are still both there, I am just hoping my devious plan of deviousness works out. It probably wont...
I think Wales has enough on his plate in trying to somehow take me on. And when I klll that army of yours in Southern England, Wales will have my undivided attention.

Ireland up. The army North of Shaftsbury has been smashed. One castle liberated from Welsh rule. Two more to follow next turn.
The Irish are running like little girls.
Are we really? Then why was Prince Rufus and his army, as well as the detached army besieging Shaftsbury, defeated? And why were two english ships sunk?
Also, a small Norwiegan army was defeated and Athenry was retaken.

Oh derp, I forgot I had to sub Zim. Phonics can you send me the PW for this account?
Ireland up.
News from Norway: That preliminary sieging force from Ireland that was trying to liberate the Westernmost town with the Trebuchet inside it has been defeated, it can't move this turn.
News from England: "BWAHAHAH! Wales takes pried in beating England back yet we see King Brian's tattered host limping behind your heels. You outnumbered us three to one and had your day. Step closer towards Nottingham to see how things go for thou and thine!"
"Brian! Your head will roll in the soil of great England! And that "army" to the South best make haste to the shorelines else it will be butchered to the last man!"
Not much to report this turn.

I'm on it when i get home.
Ireland.
Newcastle-upon-tyne taken.
King Deykin is a weak general and has been soundly defeated. He cannot move next turn.
York retaken.
Two Irish settlements under siege. One has that pesky Southern stack that has dwindled to half strength. Once it has been dealt with the only Irish presence on English soil will be Brian's stack. But he won't be able to reinforce..
On the other hand, Wales is soon to be either bankrupt or without an army - that mostly mercenary stack packs a good initial punch but soon loses to more cost-effective and better trained troops raised at a castle.
Naturally since I was sitting Zim I have ignored Wales's please for peace. I won't speak on his behalf but I'm pretty sure he'll not agree to peace atm. England refuses peace and will fight for victory.
Norway!

I will be away from tomorrow until Monday morning.
Irish army slaughtered and Shaftsbury recaptured.
King Brian's ambush was unsuccessful and he was defeated yet again. He can't move next turn.
Small Irish unit that was heading East of Shaftsbury has been discovered and killed.
Welsh siege of the stone fort north of Gloucester lifted, those units can't move next turn.
Lincoln besieged.
Ireland's forces on the mainland have dwindled, and Wales's only remaining army of note is with their King. He can head either towards Nottingham or Gloucester. In both paths he will face defeat and hopefully death.
Annoying Irish assassins have been killing off my merchants with success. I think that King Brian will have to be drowned in a cess pit for his crimes.
Ireland up.

When's England and Norway going to fight? That's what I'm waiting for :clown:
We'll be ending this with an allied victory, Zim and I discussed this prior to me subbing him for two turns. I could spawn the BA just to see what they get (and slaughter them subsequently). Me and Zim can also make a mini tournament where we send our best general with the best troops to face one another. But that's just for fun, plus I'm sure I'd have an advantage in such a setup :D
Stupid armoured swordsmen...
you could settle things with a MP battle and post the video here for us all to watch
Can't friends just conquer a couple islands together from the evil Irish? :clown:
P.S. Lousy Irish (says the guy whose last name actually appears in the Irish family tree in Kingdoms sometimes)
P.P.S. I'm happy with ending it either way (MP fight or Norway and Enland as bestest buds). Although I'd note the game is far from over.
MP battles are a hassle. Also, England with Retinue Longbowmen, Armoured Swordsmen, Heavy Bills and now access to gunpowder will stomp Norway's roster.
United victory sounds best.
You're right, Ireland/Wales united victory sounds great!
1 Norwegian stack wiped out, and 1 english merchant dead.

Isn't that assasin going to finally die in an attempt or something? Or must I make my own?
Don't count on it. My useless assassin keeps attempting 5% targets and always fails - and lives.
That assassin is the hero of this game for me. He has killed an unbelievable amount.
I think he'll be the villain of the war in future English textbooks. ~;p
So England will join the Assassin wars then. We will make a legion of them and send them to haunt your dreams in the dead of night.
There's not much you can assassinate of Wales. Kill the king, we keep on fighting...

We can assassinate all your nobility to allow the peons to rise up in rebellion!
The Irish general Kennedy was defeated in a mighty battle, as was Domnall, who came in as reinforcements (and quite scared me when I saw him, he wasn't visible from the tile my army was on in the campaign map).

The welsh ship has been defeated and can't move next turn.
Chester liberated.
Wales has somehow managed to scrape together one and a half full armies, complete with catapults. King Brian and the broken remains of his armies are seen near the English-Welsh border. Perhaps the celts will indulge us with yet more suicidal attacks against England's sturdy walls and valiant knights? Best move now, because in two season's time we will roll down like an avalanche of steel and death.

The turn you uploaded is for last turn. :)
Myth's, mine, or both?
Your's? The one Myth sent me. Wouldn't yours be for him?
I checked my save and it was made on the 13th. I also think Myth would have noticed while playing the turn if he had an older save. Maybe he uploaded a different one by mistake?
Both those defeated armies of yours should be retreated southwest back into that castle.
Ok, I uploaded all 3 of the last saves, just to the password screen (which shows, among other things, the turn number).
Mine shows turn 32, The one I sent (England's) shows 33, and the current save myth uploaded also shows turn 33.
Edit: Just had Phonics do a simple test. Last turn Ireland destroyed an army led by a general Burislev. This turn in about the same spot there should be a different fellow named Haflidhi, who defeated the Irish armies. Phonics opened the current save and looked at the coast. Haflidhi is there, the defeated and killed Burislev is not.
The Irish armies weren't completely destroyed, just about halved or so. NB could check the army numbers between this and the last save as a further test.
Oh! I think I know what happened. Myth pmed a save to me which was last turn,t he one uploaded here is the correct one. I just assumed they were both links to the same file. It is too late now but I will get the save up tomorrow morning.

Are the armies you defeated allowed to move? I had thought you were before me in the turn order, but it is allowing them to be moved.
Also, I am pretty much ready to lay down my sword and accept defeat in this game if Ignoramus feels the same. There is absolutely no way I am going to be able to make a comeback.
I'm last in turn order so your armys' move gets a reset. They would be barred from moving per the rules, though.
Cardiff recaptured. We also see some Welsh peasants sniffing at our Southern holdings - they'd do well to run now before they go to meet Manaan-mac-Lir in person.

The Welsh so called "King" has been defeated by the Prince of England. He can't move next turn. We're expecting King Brian to mount yet another suicide attack versus our lines, that would amuse us greatly. Hopefully he will get himself impaled on an English spear.
