yes to think that I have lost more than 200,000 troops in the horn of Africa is very disturbing. Especially to a pathetic nation like Ethiopia:eek:

Its not that my troops arent that bad. Contrary, they are up to par with Turkeys! But Ethiopia's climate and logistical values of its provinces are unbearable!Upon landing, Morale plummets and attrition takes a grueling toll with Supply values of 2 in most provinces. Compouding this was the reality that a handful of troops of ethiopian troops with higher morale has routed my troops dozens of times. Ethiopia is a seroius challenge! I dont think anyone can pull it off!? Send an army of 200,000. It does not matter, they will be 100,000 within 3 months. There morale will be horrible and a small 800 man ethiopian force can easily route your troops.


I see my mistakes I made last night! I dont think I will going near the horn of africa any time soon. But i must expand in another direction. But where I dont know!

[...I accidentally had this in the other thread...]

I'll reply more completely later, but I just wanted to share your pain in having a 'nobody' nation kick your butt! LOL! That's one of the great things about this game...

hey no problem.....no EU tonight. The lure of the pub was too great :D

ok ok I dont understand the Ethiopia thing. The game designers made a big mistake in making the attrition in the desert so much :(
