so in my russia campaign, i just recently got a military port. being at peace with most of the world, there was no previous need for a navy. but now, i was somehow at war with france, even though i hadnt expanded even through poland. they had 1st rates, and i, unready to fight a naval war, simply intended to land an invasion force in France, or near france. i chose to take the northern route, and, with my navy of only 3 brigs, was attacked by 2 1st rates!!!!!

unable to retreat anywhere i couldnt be attacked by anoter enemy, i chose to try and stay in front of the enemy ships. no luck. so, reloading, i tried to destroy as many cannons as possible. instead of destroying the cannons, on my first volley of a single brig versus a 1st rate, their powder magazine exploded and destroyed it, lighting my brig on fire in the massive explosion.

now i had 2 able brigs against a 1st rate.once again, i figured i'd just rake the sides and hope the'll just shoot over me while i break their cannons. nope. instead, their 2nd first rate explodes!!! in a 1-in-a-million chance, i defeated 2 first rates with 3 brigs!!!!



how amazing is that? now time to go steal some techs and build some more military docks............



thoughts?
Whoa......the AI built first rates in your game? That in itself is already awesome lol.

Wonder what the guys in the brig were thinking after the battle.....

Wonder what the French were thinking after the battle....
