Public feedback for Turn 4:

This must be the most boring point during this battle.. if we can call it a battle! Neither side wants to be the first to cross this river and are waiting when their enemy makes some wrong moves.

Boring!

"Great Empires are not maintained by timidity". Nor are they won.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

My thoughts exactly!

[Celtic_Punk]

use those orders i sent last turn

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Got it! Turn feedback will be sent tomorrow then!

[Celtic_Punk]

OOPS! i thought i was in private message! DELETE THIS

[Ibn-Khaldun]

For some strange reason I can't delete it!

[Incitatus]

How long will the battle last if the attackers don't end up attacking? I don't suppose they would suffer morale damage and some units would desert, would they?

And my internet situation is better than I thought it would be so I'll be able to check in often.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

From where we are sitting things are looking pretty good.

We are not the ones losing units!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

CDf - let's just say that you have been extremely lucky!

Incitatus - No, units will not suffer morale penalties but if things stay the same in the end of Turn 7 then I'll work something out. Either call it a draw and move all armies to another province or something else.

[Celtic_Punk]

Well we don't have to do anything realistically... The attackers are the ones who are losing time, rations and ammunition. They should face supply difficulties if the battle drags on.

[The Celtic Viking]

I don't see why we should be forced to do anything, really. It's as if an army kept firing arrows without engaging in melee, and when the enemy don't respond, god comes in and tells them that "if they don't engage in melee, she'll end it, call it a draw and send them back to where they came from".

My point is that if no one did anything I could understand it, but I don't see why you should go in and stop the thing when one side is doing something. If anything, it is them you should force to do something, give a defeat, or whatever, not us, because it is they who are losing the battle, and it is they who refuse to do something about it.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I meant that if no one is doing anything(archers can't fire because their targets are too far; no movement for a couple of turns) then I'll call it a draw.
If current situation (your archers firing Alexandros' troops) continues then so be it. But don't you want to fight a battle where you actually can(and are willing to) fight against each other?

[johnhughthom]

I think a huge Roman army should just come along and kick both their asses if neither does anything...

[Celtic_Punk]

They aren't coming anytime soon, cross you ! They can't have infinite arrows, they must run out!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Those who haven't send their orders yet, please send them.
If you don't then I'll end this turn without them.

[Celtic_Punk]

CROSS YOU COWARD!

[The Celtic Viking]

I like it better here where I can sit just quietly and smell the flowers.

[Celtic_Punk]

shall I send you a dress over for you then?

[The Celtic Viking]

You could always just cross yourself, you know. I mean, I wear dresses and go around smelling flowers; I'm a bloody hippie for crying out loud! It's obvious that I'm not man enough to do it. No one even expects me to be that.

But you, the big, badass Celt who rose against the nation... surely you're man enough for the job, right?

[Celtic_Punk]

you are supposed to be the aggressor!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Gah! Again I forgot to write Public feedback!
Will do it soon then.

[The Celtic Viking]

you are supposed to be the aggressor!

Doesn't mean we have to cross.
