Turks are down to one province, we just destroyed their rebel stack which was guarding Amasia. We are rich beyond our wildest dreams.

Massive recruitment this turn.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Our spy has opened the gates. Let us rain death upon the spearmen inside.



The spearmen have routed. Time to slay the enemy general with javelin hail.



Brave of you, my young Jedi...

Trying to take out as many horse javelins as possible by charging them to death, and making me hit my own troops... Obi-wan has taught you well.

But you cannot know the power of the dark side.



In the end, the Sith lord charged the city center and pushed the spearmen clean out of it with a stampede, rained death from above, and routed them... with nowhere to run.

Not willing to autoresolve my opponent, I opted to fight this one personally.

We decided to let the Moors take London. A couple more nice forts were built by the Moors last year. We appreciate their kind gestures very much.

Moors versus England.
Turn 20
Strategy: Blitz
Current Priority: Main objectives completed, mopping up.

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

In the ensuing battle, the English fought bravely. The enemy King charged a fresh stack of Moorish troops head on after my main force engaged his. He was no coward, thats for sure.

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:

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.

[Askthepizzaguy]

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.

Final battle:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Now you will experience the full power of the dark side.



We wait, and allow the English king to wage the battle on his own terms.



Our crossbows severely wounded his missile troops and stalled his knights. Our generals decimated what was left, and the English King saw an oppurtunity to charge some poor infantry. But these were also armed to the teeth, and we chased after him to spare their lives.



Only with a few soldiers remaining did the few agree to become our prisoners. They fought well.



End of game score.

I would have captured Constantinople next turn...

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.
