A warning to all

Macedon survived without alexander so it can survive without Apisaon the Mighty :-)

Indeed it will... but he was so young... so full of potential... *tear*

I would have played no more on that day, methinks...

It is at that point I pressed Esc, followed by pointing the mouse cursor on exit, then quit. In the heartbreak, I managed to scrap together this post.

I don't know if this works for toast, but if batter is bitter due to bitter butter, putting better butter in the bitter batter apparently makes the batter better. I'll check the source if you're interested.

Sounds like it's straight out of Alice In Wonderland...

That is painful... But such is war. I'm we have all suffered such cases.

For instance I managed to get myself a Decere quite early as the Scipii (I couldn't build it yet), and I needed to transfer my most experienced army yet away from Sicily (yup very early). My fleets were fighting the Greeks, and winning fairly easily. So naturally the army boarded the Decere at Syracuse (my capital) and I proceeded to go to sea to join up with a fleet near Tarentum. But as it happened a rouge fleet of Carthies intercepted it (blocked it). I refused a fight, butthe Carthies attacked and won (but the Decere put up a valiant show killing almost 2:1). So my now rather depleted Decere fled right into the arms of another Carthie fleet who also attacked it. Same result. This time my Decere had ventured all the way to Thermon and was promtly beset by Greek ships en masse. I felt like my Decere had become a rubberball.

Goodbye Decere and mighty army (which included a merc War Elephant). Luckily I hadn't sent my newest member to join it, I thought he would be a rather good governor of Lily.

Join the club of the damned my friend... On a side note, don't you wish naval warfare was a bit more refined?... at least to the point where we could choose where we retreat our defeated fleets...

I reckon you didn't quicksave just before you send that boat away...? IMO the best way to deal with this is to conquer and exterminate Rome, give it away to the senate (if they're still around) and conquer and exterminate it AGAIN (repeat until satisfied, razing all buildings is optional)...

Revenge will indeed be sweet. But I shall stick with my plan of saving Rome for last. Forts shall be built all around the borders, with supreme armies in each! All remnants of their navy shall be exterminated! When the entire world lies in my hands, Rome will tremble! Then the moment of truth... perhaps as many as 8 stacked armies... each led by a valiant general... besieging Rome... and on it's last half-year of survival... a massive onslought... oh yes... revenge will be sweet indeed.... bitterbatterbutter... no margerine for me...
