[Nuclear Winter]

Yes, screenshots would be great. We need some so that we can do some planning ahead.God knows we must strike while the enemy is in disarray!

Results from 270 ad

In the shot:
ND main stack = 4 pikes, 8 Ansars (2 = 4/4, 2 = 3/4, 2 = 2/4, 2 = 5/5)
SW Mnt Stack = 3 pikes
NE Mnt Stack = 2 pikes, 1 inf

GoW has 2 captured GS slaves.


military:
Order of the Holy Spirit attacks Alamo... CATAPULT (stolen from GS) fires and damages him. he does 1 damage to a Vet Rider, then dies. Another Vet Rider appears on top of the city at full health.

ATTACK CALLED OFF.

GS lost 4-8 Catapults and they are now in that city. Our Inf did only 1 damage to the Rider. Sending any further Inf would be suicide.

Templars (Inf) SW, W
Inquisition of the Faithful (Inf) SW, W
Holy Martyrs (Inf) SW, W
Brothers of Christ (pike) SW, W

Mountain forces: 5 Inf, 5 Pikes.
Pamplona Defenses: 8 pikes, 1 inf, 4 knights, 8 cats. (in 2 turns we will have 3 additional Pikes in Pamplona)

Madrid Volunteers NW

Pinta SE, SE, S

workers:
El Nino & Aidun Serfs SW, SW, SW (will build road there)

cities: no changes




My plans (until someone gives me some other plans)

1) Our Group of 5 & 5 is now strong enough to treaten Alamo, and the ND roads to the south that provide them with Ivory. We can either jointly attack ND or GoW (coordinate so that we hit first, GS hits 2nd) or we can go after the roads, then follow the mountains towards Vigo and force ND to pull back units to deal with us before we cut off their Gems as well.

2) Having our troops there forces GoW and ND to keep units there to block us or protect against us. It makes it harder for them to focus all of their power against GS. It should give GS a little breathing room to continue their advance. They also allow us to spy on ND/GoW movements.

3) We need our workers to build military roads AND we need another mine by Pamplona. Another mine + growth of Pamplona = 15spt!

4) Eventually we will also build more Inf but none of our cities are at that ideal point. Toledo is a long way off from being productive. Barcelona never was.

Well done Togas, but I warn you to the fact that the cats in El Alamo will bombard our mountain units and damage them before we could strike our attack. I think that all our workers should come immediately to that mountain to do the vital road for our own cats. Otherwise our attack will be worthless.

I am a bit worried by not to have our General giving orders.

I am sorry, I had an unforseen travel this weekend and I´ve just arrived. I had hopes that I´d be able to play this save, and I am sorry I wasn´t . I am going to be available the whole month most of the times of the day, though.

Your Majesty, the way you give guidance to our army is magnificent, you are a real supreme commander, but Astrologix is right, those catapults in Salamanca have already cost us an entire regiment of mace-infantry and I hope for them that their souls are now with the Holy Spirit. We have to finish that road asap and I request you to think about sending some additional troops to defend them. It is unlikely that Pamplona will soon be under attack now that we are besieging Salamanca, so we can perhaps move some more forces from Pamplona to the mountain.

I also would like to adress the idea of building a permanent fortification on the mountain after we have build that road. That depends however on the term of the attack. If we are planning to attack just after the road is completed, it will be of much less use then if we plan to stay longer on the mountain. It is then, however, still very useful to defend the city against stacks that gather in the mountains.
