also guys is a fort s wall going through as wooden or stone? i mean normally its wooden walls but in this version of the game for what reason ever on the battle map its stone. so are we opening walls with catapults already or trebuckets only? imo we are overrating forts if we made them trebuckets opened only. forts then are almost becoming permanent strongholds instead of a short lived firewall. so my vote is on catapults opening forts gates

[Thanatos Eclipse]

I second catapults

[Mithridate]

As do I, Stone forts built in six months often in hostile territories whilst enemy armies are nearby are unlikely to be sturdy anyway...

[Nightbringer]

I agree that catapults should open forts.

SS is strange, since they look wooden on the map but are stone when you lead the battle (and their walls are made of friggin' Titanium alloy. Don't be surprised if you can't crack them open with one catapult only). Now since they disappear after one turn of being abandoned and they cost only 500 gold they definitely count as "wooden" in my book. They were just buffed on the battle map to make things tougher for the player.

Now the forts in the Britannia expansion, that are permanent and stone both on the campaign map and the battle map - those are treb only.

The Crusades expansion is a bit tricky though. Them forts are stone on both maps and cost 2500 each, yet they disappear after being abandoned...

[Nightbringer]

Wait, since when were the forts stone on the SS battlemap. I know they haven't been for me in the MoT hotseat.

[Myth]

6.4 forts are stone for sure.

[Nightbringer]

hmm, well, they aren't for me. I cannot explain this...

[Myth]

They are wooden on the campaign map and stone on the battle map. Try starting a hotseat and attacking a fort you just built with the previous faction.

France is up

[Myth]

Moors up.

By using Rober't stack alone without NF versus the two enemy stacks I forced the AI to cross the bridge (it attacks even if it leads a defensive battle if it has more than 1.5 or so of a numerical advantage)

Needless to say that crossing a bridge versus longbowmen and 10 cav units resulted in a Heroic Victory. Robert continued to mop up every survivor outside of Cordoba with Night Fighter. I intentionally didn't fight he garrison since it had too much cavalry. deciding to lay siege with my 3 stacks instead.

aw come on u serious? how did that went down? one of those amazing sea battles or what? man for sure. nice those sea battles are just great. this broken auto resolve nonsense. one day the odds are 4 to 1 in ur favor and u lucky if one enemy ship is sunk next day the odds are 3 to 1 against u and the enemy fleet still is down. thats just broken nonsense. this auto resolve thing is just broken and its even more broken with sea battles. just weird results. just pure chance that aint no basis for a game. thats like Brady and his wide receivers. pure chance.if hes lucky he wins a super bowl and if he aint its sorry Tom bad receivers day ur lost.nonsense. luck aint no basis for anything Andrew Luck maybe even tho he was with Sanford but other than that pure chance is just things up and thats whats up with this auto resolve thing. nothing for having a game based on this nonsense

Actually I was able to bribe a fort and ferry across on my fleet while it was still trapped in the harbor.

And besides, didn't you just pull off an assassination on my faction leader. :)

[Myth]

Cordoba has been captured - the Catholic team earns 10 points! The point counter is added to the first post of this thread.

A reminder of the rules:

Capture target city: 10 points.
Hold target city: 5 points every turn.
Convert target city to 50% of your faith: 5 points (only if holding the settlement, awarded once)
Convert target city to 100% of your faith: 15 points (only if holding the settlement, awarded once)

Moors up!

Nightbringer - bribing fort garrsions - genius! This really changes the dynamic of a lead battles game, I hadn't thought of that.

FYI assassinations must be done FIRST in the turn order and you get only one per turn. If any doubts are made to a random percentage let me know I'll give Zim the admin PW and he'll retry them (this goes for both teams)

Sea battles are very random yes. The TWC frequently ban Heroic Victories at sea for just that reason.

He let me know about the assassin and I trust it is all legit. As for bribing forts, that is actually a tactic I picked up off silvershield himself! :)

Silver's a beast, proves his skill once more. And I know him to be trustworthy, I'm just reminding the other players about the rules and how we handle this in this game. BTW he said he'd join in another .net vs .org game if it was lead battles. Think the .net might agree to that?

Not sure, but I would want to join as well.
