Turn 15
Strategy: Turtle.
Current Priority: Provoke war.

Retook a fort that had been taken by Ayyubid agents. Can't assasinate this one away ATPG. Also was it really necessary to destroy my troop buildings? I can barely afford my field army as it is.

Well, I can probably reveal now that the invasion is about to commence, so yes there is a purpose to that move. The armies you're fielding now cannot get reinforcements.

I'm not doing it to toy with you or anything, this is the prelude to invasion. Next turn, or maybe the turn after, you'll see what I mean. I won't need much provoking...

Your location made me lol.

Yeah i get you. I don't mind being defeated but it annoys me when my opponent just toys with me, guess it helps to know that your move didn't have a mocking purpose behind it..

After this turn or maybe the next I may need to be afk for an hour or two, I may not, we'll see.

[Askthepizzaguy]

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.

I have to be extremely careful now. I considered attacking on of your forts, but without knowledge of your main forces you could easily surround and annihilate my men. I need to choose battle on my terms if I have even the slimmest chance to repelling just the first wave.

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.
