ATPG versus Grog, Lands to Conquer 3.1
England vs Turks
Turn 4
Strategy: Expansion
Current Priority: Rebels
We were warned by the Pope not to assault Edinburgh, so a hasty cease-fire, trade agreement, and alliance later, we switched our policy to one of containment for the next 7 turns. Our goal is to take Inverness, Caernarvon, and Dublin, followed by Antwerp, Bruges, and other rebel settlements. We also plan on betraying our "good friends" the French. Our relations with the Pope are now perfect.

Grog vs ATPG Turn3-5
Jihad is building up a bit of steam, annoyingly fell 1 pixel movement short of sieging aleppo and acre with my holy armies..ho hum :beam:
Antioch is now in turkish hands and I am eyeing up my 'allies' byzantine. I screwed some florins from Hungary to fund a bit of development. Economy slowly picking up, few niggles here and there but nothing that can be smoothed out soon enough..
No sign of the Roastbeef's armies yet..*looks around in a paranoid manner*. Spies online.
Oh, and backstabbed Byz as they were in the way.
Eqypt refused my rude diplomat's offer of alliance so trouble brewing down south too.. :egypt:
ATPG versus Grog, Lands to Conquer 3.1
England vs Turks
Turn 6
Strategy: Expansion
Current Priority: France, Rebels, Denmark
All of the British Isles except Edinburgh have been conquered or under seige. Rennes, Bruges, Marseilles, Caen, Antwerp all under seige or owned on the mainland. Scotland is paralyzed by Papal-sponsored peace and alliance with us, France is paralyzed by a marriage alliance, still we expand.
A crusade has been called against Vilnius, which should allow us to conquer Denmark, Poland, Russia, and the Holy Roman Empire.
At some point we may become excommunicated, but we have ballista under construction to allow us to conquer many provinces in a single turn, before his Holy-moleyness gets involved.
The Turks have a distinct advantage of having Catholics aplenty to target whilst England cannot crusade if excommunicated. Therefore, we are somewhat forced into a semi-expansionist/turtle role.
How will ATPG fare when maximum blitzosity is denied as an option, against perhaps the second best blitzer of all time? We shall see. For now, the graphs favor us...
:laugh2:
Grog vs ATPG Turn6
Strike and fade war with Byzantine going well. Adopted general gathering troops to take nicacea and constantinople. Thessalonica sieged. Spies staring to move west.
Egypt under attack from the Turks, walked into alexandria after map info exchange showed it empty, do pass go, do collect 2k florins for free, plus egypt sieging a heavy rebel Jerusalem so won't get back in time to save Cairo from the green horde.
In other news, Batu the mini Mongol begins his sailing holiday in the Med somewhere...
ATPG versus Grog, Lands to Conquer 3.1
England vs Turks
Turn 9
Strategy: Expansion
Current Priority: France, Rebels, Denmark
We have amassed a huge fighting force, one of our more worthless stacks stands ready to annihilate the Scots as soon as the Papal warning is no longer in effect (2 turns), we have assembled a massive force ready to take Paris and Bordeaux as soon as the crusade is over, and we have allied with all other relevant nations.
The simple fact of relying on the Pope for crusading ability leads me to believe that I will lose this match... I have foreseen it.
I cannot face the Turks without expanding into Catholic lands, I cannot expand into Catholic lands without angering the Pope, I cannot anger the Pope and call a crusade, and I cannot face the Turks without the ability to crusade. Against such a skilled foe, these major setbacks are in fact mortal wounds.
Graphs indicate the Turks have taken the lead in most categories, yet the size of our armed forces is still greater than theirs. We can only hope their jihad ends soon, or we will fall hopelessly behind in development.
Edge: Turks
All is not lost yet, as I plan for a sudden devastating wave of expansion after my crusade against Vilnius is over, taking an excommunication if necessary, then offing my king and trying to make pretty puppy dog eyes and sweet kissy faces at the Pope to try and regain his good side.
I seem to recall that you can blitz through the pain of an excommunication if you're good enough, and rack up enough glory points to offset the public order problems. With France and Scotland destroyed, I should attain some glory and fear bonuses.
Killing the king is as simple as ramming him against my enemies without a bodyguard, and being granted a reprieve by the Pope, I will simply use my diplomatic magic to restore relations.
It's going to take huge risks and massive gambles, but England MAY have a shot at not being obliterated right away.

22,000 florins were gained in the sack of Rayy, after my betrayal, I wonder who you will decide to stay allied with?
Grog v ATPG Turns 7-8
Well England owe Sicily a few crates of Vintage Bordeaux. Batu the MiniMongol was destroyed by a sicilian standing army in ai moves turn 6, mainly my mistake as I camped on Palermo island rather than the heel of Italy, bad luck. I lost a good general and 5-6 units of cheap troops, I was hoping for a roaming pope to whack and cause some havoc with Englands crusade. My 4* diplomat has been sitting on vilinus for last two turns trying to bribe them off, no luck yet..
War with Egypt, Byzantine and other actions all going well. I made a few stupid moves that slowed me a turn or two, although you have to hold back a touch when relying on autoresolve defence..
I should hopefully finish Egypt next turn or two, they are currently hiding in Jersualem while their lands burn.
Economy is getting better, spies should be seeing England soon. assassins online soon. Economy/Pop beginning to show inklings of a boom. Starting to get a few Imans trained to convert the faithless barbarians of the west..
Military tech centres are developing nicely in a few classified areas, should be able to train snap armies of quality troops in various parts of the turkish empire should the need arise.
Hopefully find some florins for further development before my Jihad ends, stack is prepping near Baghdad for assault soon.
Grog vs ATPG Turn9
The "Sword of the East" Jihad is progressing well. Constantinople under siege which will finish Byzantine. Egypt is on the ropes. Secondary wave fronts in training . Spies deep into Europe. Second jihad target is nicely buffered. Assassins online when first Jihad ends..
Economy beginning to boom, Population booming. Some disorder but dread and glory bonus in the next 1-2 turns will sort this. Capital relocation to Istanbul soon.
Operation "Scorched Earth" is now being enabled. Central Europe and the Med will soon descend into seething chaos and entropy.
Over four nightfigher generals now. Over four 6-star+ commanders. A few dreadlords in training..
Long campaign Victory estimated turn 16-18.
Will England fight on against the Turkish Fury? :smash: :beam:
Some spoilers:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Just want to say, long campaign victories are nice bonuses, but until your opponent concedes or dies, you don't win the match.
hehehe.
We aren't at all frightened of Turkey. When your nation is nothing but smoldering ash, your early lead will be quite laughable. I've defeated superior empires before.

Grog vs ATPG Turn10
Made relatively good sacking income from Jerusalem and Constantinople, which was squandered wisely on troops, agents and some building work. Byzantines destroyed. Egypt decimated and final general sieged in Gaza.
First contact has been made with the infidel. His crusade stack sieged vilinus, so I have offered trade rights and map info exchange.
Laurence the Diplomat was detected by the Turkish spy network northwest of Sofia. Cue the diversion of my low loyalty dreadlord away from harms reach and a more sturdy chap replacing him.(cost me a sideways move sort of..)
Sieged Baghdad with an adequate army only, as most will be disbanded at this end once the Jihad ends.
Other movements and objectives now classified...:book:
after several days off, I am back, guys. My great offensive against the Islamic horde begins now...
UPDATE:
After some very disappointing attempts, the LTC save for mine and Grog's duel seems corrupted. This duel is on hold for now. If I didnt have like a billion things to do this turn, I could handle the CTD by being quick... but it crashes whenever I try to battle or use a spy...
Meanwhile, I am asking those who have duels on hold with me to let me know what their status is.
Ignoramus, its been an eternity, are we still playing?

"Superior navy" was severely damaged and routed out into the middle of the ocean by Sindh defenders, the settlement in question by Ayyubid forces is nothing to Sindh. Next, the cavalry arrives to punish them.
Ghaznavids down to final settlement, Ghorids as well. Allied with Rajputs, peace with Khwarezm, advancing on Abassid lands, building huge navy.
Edge: Match is still even, but short term advantage: Sindh

Current Priority: Withdrawl of the eastern empire.
Movements: My 2nd smaller navy destroyed, Spies seeing there even matched navy at ports. Seeing there towns and seeing there incomes. Seeing my eastern exapnsion and seeing there income. Deciding to give up the eastern empire dream, I've told my whole eastern empire garrison to go away, I've destroyed my own cities trying to get what ever is worth in money. Throwing them all in Very High Taxes. Withdrawing my armies that were going to go on a fruitless campain against the Sindh's to Mecca, One of the holy cities of islam that can't be given up. So long to my eastern empire.
I am sure that this is the smartest thing to do. I hope that all agree with me as well. The eastern dream was a failure and all if in my place, would maybe agree with me.
Troops recruitment : The strongest ships in the game.

Current Strategy: Destroy everyone
Current Priority: Khwarezm, Abassids, Rajputs
The Ayyubid threat has gone away, spies report. A shame. I was looking forward to smashing Saladin's skull open.
We turn our attention towards the Abassids, whose fine and bloated cities will be excellent to sack, and the Rajputs, whose Chauhan brothers have been destroyed. The Khwarezm have also left themselves wide open.
Everywhere I turn, computers are making defensive blunders. More pillaging for me....
:evilgrin:
we have spies following Saladin around, just in case he decides to become bolder than a rooster, but no less dead for that. Graphs favor the Ayyubids for now... but a reversal of fortune is coming for them.

Successful Jihad vs Baghdad.
3 sieges in place, one could be a tad risky~
Spy network is growing and spreading, economy beginning to spool up, population is growing exponentially, production strong and consistent.
Now is the time to find the tricky balance point between expansionism and development for Jihad 2...
Now that our respective holy wars have ended, it will be interesting to see how much the LTC mod restricts our blitzing :smash:

Current Strategy: Destroy everyone
Current Priority: Rajputs, Khwarezm, Abassids, Seljuks
Oh how the mighty have fallen... Sindh continues it's insane growth, and now leads the Ayyubids in most categories. As we prepare our final assault into India, our forces have captured Baghdad and have crippled the Abassid faction. We plundered over 30,000 florins from the once-mighty Caliphate.
I pronounce myself Caliph of all Islam!
Only the Ayyubids dare question my authority over all Muslims now. Our forces have massed at Baghdad, such that the Ayyubids had better watch themselves.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
We continue to push into Iran and Turkmenistan, leaving a trail of death behind us. None resist us, mighty Caliph!

By the way, I am planning on doing a full-blown AAR thread regarding Sindh, similar to my Bloody Crescent: Rise of the Turks thread, based on this duel.
Whether I win or lose, this will give people some tips on how to play Sindh.
Tip #1: don't play Sindh unless you are a super-insane blitzmaster

Turn 26-30
Current Strategy: Turtle
Current Priority: Survival
I never exactly killed Jerusalem before, now seeing it's might of horde, 5 stacks against a very weak top, the Makarians soon to invade, Watching my ally to the west get obliterated by the sindh's, I fear if the blitz's master does not hurry up with his blitz, he will not find any more Islam in the western half. Gathering forces what I have, I expect of the invasion of the Jerusalem people, Sindh's, ERE, Turks, Makrians, and Armenia all very very shortly, The graphs are already showing it, The decline of the empire has already started.
Troop recruitment: Alot of units
Building: Dirt roads

Turn 33
Current Strategy: Turtling / Economiest
Current Priority: Gathering a Large enough force to Crush the invaders.
I am just about finishing gathering my last hope of defending my kingdom, The armies are soon to be all in place led by the Great Sultan of my country. Though, It is hard to tell if I should engage the incoming Sindh's.. Or send my armies away from the incoming sindh's to take over more land. I am in no shape to defend... The sindh's taking over many lands at a time. If I turn my back on the sindh's, they will kill me, if I keep my back turned on jerusalem, they will kill me, What a grand plan i have going on atm. -_-
Military: Gathering all of the armies I can, even that the sindh's will think twice before sending a small invasion force at... Lost my most outside castle to Jerusalem.
All right, ATPG told me this duel would be "just for fun". Who knows what the blitzmaster does for fun, though? :laugh4:

Recruitment: nothing

Wonder how many cities it'll take for me to start turning a profit.
Word to the wise, Jerusalem's army is among the most powerful in the game, it's also the most expensive. Even your infantry costs 300 per turn.
Think twice before recruiting too much heavy cavalry too... look at their prices...

Military: Took 1 Ayyubid city
Recruitment: decent but cheap troops
Building: repairing walls that I couldn't before due to debt
Money: 800
So far the Ayyubids have been complete pushovers. I've taken 3 of their cities and they haven't shown any resistance. I don't know whether to be happy, annoyed, or concerned that a full stack is gonna pop up outta nowhere.
Turn 5
ATPG (Kypchaks) vs Chaotix (Jerusalem)

Current Priority: Killing Ayyubids
Diplomacy: Not much
Military: Took down a half stack, besieging 1 Ayyubid city, moving out to another
Recruitment: not much
Building: nothing
Money: 200
Finally found some Ayyubid resistance in the form of a half stack of decent troops. They couldn't do much to my heavy-armor infantry, but they did manage to take out 3/4 of my heavy cav. I still have enough troops to
besiege their castle next turn, but I don't have cash to recruit new spies so I can take it in 1 turn.
Question, ATPG: When you besiege a capital in BC, it auto-spawns troops, right?
answer, yes... some more than others. avoid constantinople.
How does this duels work?
I mean what are the victory conditions?
Also do you modify .cfg file?
Please do not ask the same question in so many different threads!Quote:
