How would you know? It's not like you have ever had any of that stuff...

[Golden Bear]

Plucky little bowman against the huge enveloping army. This is touching.

Of course, three turns later the army will come trundling back over the hill and treat him like a squirrel in front of a semi.

He should be retired and hidden away as the nucleus of the Imperial Guard.

A Babylonian Imperial Guard or a Guard of Babylonian Imps

Babylon, we would like to talk to you. The address has not changed, go north

[James]

The war with Babylon and AM seems to cost Babylon alot.

Oh, nothing much really......I guess I'm just impressed by your expert implementation of the "Handbook of AI Battle Tactics".

Best order a few for the Horde

Never have enough humour

so, 825 BC is the end of the bards...

[Aqualung71]

And finally the Horde fight a real battle!

Congratulations General Bongo.....and congratulations to the Horde Commander in Chief, Great Khan Paddy. This was certainly a glorious battle, long in the preparation and with a result befitting of the might of the Horde!

The remaining nations of the world should now be concerned that the object of your wrath has now been annihilated. Who will be next, I wonder?

[Paddy]

to the Horde a great team

[Aqualung71]

Actually, a very weak exit for the Euphoricans....14-nil in the final battle. You guys should have at least used those units in a last ditch attack upon the Horde stack.

Alas, the history has now been written. The Bards burned their own cities as they retreated (including their glorious capital of Abba), then locked themselves away in their new capital, stuck their collective heads in the sand and cowered in fear.

A poor showing indeed, and an ignominious end for a team that was so loud in its claims of superiority and condemnation of others so early in the game

[ormuzd]

this is a lack of luck. With spears fortified upon hills they should have won few battles

[Ljube]

My estimate was 5-8 units lost. But then I also estimated they would have more units in their city.

The Bards faced the Blood Force Battle Horde, which was well up to the task at hand.

It is noted that to abandon ones own towns and people can be considered a good strategy, denying your foe these resources. The costs on the people is very high, I believe way too high.

The Bards may be gone as a nation, but the Bard Lord Snoop is currently under guard, being escorted to the Capital to face a tribunal of Horde Judicial Masters. At this tribunal he will be asked to answer for various crimes against the population of the nation he led. Yes I do mean they towns that were abandoned.

My estimates were 7-8 spears, 3 swords, 2 horsemen, archer and 4 catapults, and that we would lose 2-3 units.

I never believed we would lose as many as 5.
However, someone DID give Bardistan the upkeep funding, a poor investment indeed, as they lost all their units causing no damage but wasting our time and analytical skills.

As I evident, follow the money is a good proverb in the intelligence community.
