That siege of Ani was ridiculous... I lost all of my decent spearmen to dismounted horse archers on the walls!

I've got to start mass expansion soon if I'm gonna keep up with the Ghorids. The Seljuks might get in my way... but for now there's about 20 rebel cities directly south of my mountains. Once I clear out my northern area, that place is next.

For Chaotix, Why go into muslim territory when there is the good old ERE and Turks to your west with huge trading possibilities. :o Also they have alot of settlements with Orthidox, so... Might be easier holding the settlements as well.. :O

[Chaotix]

At this point, I'm allied with most of my Christian brethren, but I can certainly expand into both Turkish factions once I'm ready. I might also kill Armenia off, but for now we have an alliance.

I demand to feast on the carcass of the loser and be granted the right to slay the winner in a bloody battle to the death.

[Merlox]

Oh nus... it's the greatest general in all of Total War!!! RUN!!! *Ghorid empire runs to china.*

[Askthepizzaguy]

Mmm... crunchy. Needs more elephant.

[Merlox]

Yeah right, China too busy fighting with japan atm to care about the ghorids!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Japan???

What is this... Japan you speak of? Surely you must realize that the tiny and poor fishing community of the islands off of the coast of the great Chinese Empire is NOTHING compared to the endless and unforgiving hordes of insane Chinese Ninjas, who will flip out and kill anyone, anywhere, anytime, without warning, provocation, reason, or mercy.

As a matter of fact, you've just been killed 5 times before you hit the floor by one of my Chinese assassins. The floor is very messy where your carcass now rots.

[Chaotix]

Gah! I don't know what's worse, winning or losing!

Hah! The Great King of Georgia spits on your Sultan's futile efforts at diplomacy. If your best offer to establish relations between our nations is some barbaric demand of tribute, we, a civilized nation, will have none of it! Furthermore, if you do not show us your maps as we have given you ours like a civilized people, we will cease all trade with you at once. Even the Kypchaks have shown us better manners than your diplomat; we ought to have him executed.

[Chaotix]

Rather than continue to insult you, as it only seems to bring out more barbarism, the kind king of Georgia has decided on a different approach. It is his belief that showing kindness to the barbarian may tame him. So we Georgians have decided to comply with your request to attack the Seljuks as a gift, and against our word we will maintain trade. However, we will not accept your demands for money or your threats of attack.

My southern west front is about to take the pearl of Isalm, The capital of the Abbisudes.
