Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Due to the appalling road infrastructure in Viking territory, no action was against the northern barbarians. A massive force has assembled for a final assault on New Carmarthen, however. Travelers from the north report that several enemy towns behind New Carmarthen lack stockades and are connected by a quality road system, so its fall should be the decisive.
We have held through the night despite barbarous attacks by sea. We launch a hastily made craft of our own to fight these monsters on their own terms. We have taken out one of their dragon ships, but our crew have been shattered by the other, despite its being heavily damaged itself. Have sent dispatch to the General of the Eastern Army to send more supplies to counter this menace.
Field Commander's Log in Big Sioux
The final offensive against the northern tribes has been completed with the taking of Red Deer and Grand Rapids, thanks to the extra supplies given us this last season. I do not believe any tribes further north present any threat to the wellfare of the glorious empire-across the sea. All save garrisoning troops will be presented to the Eastern Commander next season.

Continued assaults have continued to lower enemy numbers and moral, but has still not been enough to take the fortress city. The aristocracy in the north say that many factors have lead to us not being given all the support we need to take the city quickly. However, it is essential to our coastal road to supply cities that hav already been taken further south. Mabey next season...
Message to the Irish Knights East of Chippewa
Please Move, you are blocking the progress of the royal army of His Magesty the Emperor-Overseas. The Wiking menance must be obliterated, no matter the costs.
Irish knights in their wimpy armour and sissy helmets were ambushed and obliterated near Silver Lake. In other news, Romans are mommy's kids who will freeze to death in the North of the Norse.
The Irish Army continues to move east. None of the hated vikings were spotted. The Irish government is now acting on the assumption that the Vikings are a bunch of wimps.
'Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be - or to be indistinguishable from - self-righteous sixteen year olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.'
- Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon
Roman troops march to the Viking towns New Carmarthen and Great Falls, only to find them completely abandoned. One of their vaunted longships was spotted outside the latter village, so we garrisoned it lightly as this was so clearly a trap. Troops have also withdrawn from New Carmarthen, as a counterattack from New Cardiff is expected.
OOC: Leo, how do you pillage a railroad without having a unit remain there afterwards?
