I've picked up a goodie hut city on a nearby land mass but before I have had time to provide it with more than one defender the AI lands a single attacker who creams the defender. The ESTians don't go down tamely though so the attacking unit uses up all it's movement points and is sent very red in the face.
I look into the city; sell the temple my Republican minded citizens had built; note with regret that the next two shields would have made the horseman needed to have saved the outpost; and assure the citizenry that their time under the tyranny of the oppressor will be short.
But, blow me down, when my next turn comes the city still counts itself on the roster of the empire and is once again proudly flying the flag.
The new unit of horse which the AI has generously allowed to raise the city's banner now blows away the badly injured attacker.
Rather than moving into the empty city, the AI has had the inspired idea to rest its badly injured unit outside the empty city , carefully fortifying itself first as a needful precaution!
Now sending a task force comprising one solitary unit against defenders of unknown strength is standard A1 incompetence. But, having had the luck to win, to sit outside the gates afterwards instead of walking in unopposed takes the biscuit!!
