Goths (BI faction)

[MerlinusCDXX]

Have expanded back up into the original territories again (a good move, as mining income from both Dacia and campus lazyges is substantial), took Aquincum to connect Greece and Italy, and Carnuntum (to keep watch on the WRE and the Germanic barbarians), have the King's Army operating in Italy, the Heir's in Pannonia, and am building another in Greece to defend from the eventual attack from the Slavs, as they seem to just head straight towards Constantinople. I am using the forts at river crossings (Danube) trick that some ERE players like to use, except I have a two-layer version of it (also using it at the river line north of the Danube) this lets one stack defend a lot of territory without having to lose settlements. Was attacked by horded Burgundians (Aquincum), faction heir had night fighter, so i fought them at night one stack at a time, wiped em out in 1 turn ;-D. The war with the Huns never amounted to much, I whupped one army as they reinforced a seige, they came offering peace next turn, I accepted after charging them some cash. Sarmatians pulled the same trick as Burgundii (in Mediolanum), King has night fighter, pulled same trick as faction heir -result-yet another one turn wipeout, this time King gets a trait increase for Night Fighter. am now in the process of cleaning up WRER in the Med, getting ready to take a lightly defended Kydonia from the ERER, and spawning the Ostrogoths in Sarmatia to keep everyone north of me busy (and they will make a nice shield against the Slavs). am only like 4 settlements shy of victory, who knows, tomorrow, maybe Carthage. (am trying to have a reason to be at war... the WRER started it, so it is my pet project to make them as weak as possible)
