Don't worry: it's a private affair between JR and me

[La Fayette]

I played 10 turns, but my log has just been 'destroyed' somewhere between my computer and Apolyton.
I write a new one soon.
Meanwhile, JRabbit can have fun looking at the save

[-Jrabbit]

Well, SG (2) is actually next, but I'm sending the zipsave home anyway, just in case I have time to look.

[La Fayette]

Well, I bet SG(2) should be happy with my save

Because when I came to power in 740AD, I very much disliked what I discovered: a weak Republic, with a number of smaller and weaker cities, researching a military tech.
At second glance I noticed that Viking land was green and warm, compared with our barren tundra. I put on my helmet and told my people "go South, young men!".

760: Switch to Monarchy
780: La Fayette crowned by the archbishop of Woe...
Our mighty caravel sends a Viking caravel to the bottom offshore Lindholm. Our mighty crusader kills a Viking horseman wandering nearby.
860: FEODALISM discovered, Magnetism researched. Our ugly crusader kills attractive Viking legion.
880: Viking horseman kills our smiling diplomat. Our ugly crusader kills the horseman.
940: STWA completed in Was Zimbabwe. 2 harbours and a market place also completed. Crusaders under building almost anywhere.
King La Fayette disappears in the blizzard, bearing in the bottom of his heart the faint hope that SG(2) will be happy rolling over the Vikings.

Oops, forgot to mention that our cruising trireme had met the Babs, not far from our Southern Outpost. The Babs were very upset and asked for 300 gold or war! Guess what they got

Sounds good LaFayette - but will the wimpy Republican Admiral like it ?

I do

You mean people like Admiral Puke? Both you gentlemen should remember the power of a war machine driven by a fat republic

[La Fayette]

...combined with ugly betrayal of faithful allies?
overwhelming

[La Fayette]

Anyway, I don't blame you. I know I should have allied with the Roman leader as soon as I noticed that you were getting THAT strong

[Scouse Gits]

I think you have your SGs mixed up LaFayette, I'm poor hapless Scapulette - (2) is Grand Admiral Puke

As I recall you showed me how to do that!

Back to our current game. I have downloaded and managed to play the remainder of 940. Yes LF I agree - we go south, but on the way we will have a strong Republic to help our cause.

I played 10 turns, which felt about right. Hopefully we can get at least 2 sessions for everyone.

All those trade arrows seem to cry out for a rich republic, and not some rodentian monarchy At the least it's a change from the recent course of these games

[Scouse Gits]

I don't think you have had a chance to see what a Rodentian Fundamentalist can do in any of our recent games -

Roll it on... Rabid rodent wants The Lady
