Your ally requests assistance

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Have you ever seen that? Please notice that Skionaios is not within reach of the normal reinforcement-area.

In three years or more of RTW this was the first time I saw that. Didn't even know that such is possible. Or is that an EB-feature?

[Geoffrey S]

In theory its possible, but due to the mechanics of the RTW map unlikely in most cases. Maybe it takes into account the movement points remaining for your army?

[Reverend Joe]

Well, did you help them out?

[stupac]

I've gotten it once before in vanilla, I'm pretty sure it takes into account the remaining movement points as Geoffrey suggested. Definitely not an EB feature.

[Lovejoy]

Thats really cool! I think Ive only seen it once or twize in a vanila camp. Can you request help in anyway? I kinda remember you could.

[NeoSpartan]

Well, did you help them out?

PLZ tell us you said YES!

I got this the 1st time I played EB, and haven't gotten it since. I said NO since I couldn't even defend my borders. But I would LOVE to have seen what might have happened.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I said YES! But it was not very spectactular, the Armenians retreated without fighting.

But the next turn I moved in their harbor, then I was attacked by an armenian full stack of 4 Skythian archers, 1 x horse archers and the rest pantodapoi crap. I had 4 depleted units of Doryphoroi Pontikoi, 1 unit mercenary Phalangitai, plus 4 units steppe riders and 2 units Sarmatian horse archers. I slaughtered them all and got a heroic victory.

Currently I'm besieging their capital. I'm not very interested in Tanais, so I think I'll give it to the Sarmatae. When the Hay are wiped out, I hope the Baktrians will finally ally with me against the Seleukid rest-empire.

[Captian Cornelius]

I've seen it happen a few times,but not in Eb.

I really need to start playing RTW again the diplomacy system is so simple.
