Madrid Expedition should go West to fight the evil big cat!

Yes, that cat is even more frightening than the stack of swordsmen. Notice that is it Arab yellow. What if it should wake up? It could just bound across the country and stomp on our cities and use Madrid as a litter box Especially with all the fish in Barcelona to attract it this way. HistoryGuy, did you notice any sorcery when you in NeuTheben?

Orders: Wander around Barcelona, protecting it from barbarians and the Furry Norman, the giant cat. If Lord Togas wants to them to go northwards to the border, than northwards they shall go, but quietly so as not to wake up the giant cat

So ND didn't go straight to the iron...

I know they have one iron source already. Thus having a stack of swordsmen fencing their way up Trip's sore @ss. They are probably planning the conquest of Santiago by now, so they can cut us off from the iron and wreak havoc in the Saragossa area. Yeah, that's what I would do if I was the ND-boss.
Or perhaps not, if they are afraid of an alliance forging against them if they do so? Do Saragossa need to build horsemen now, or am I just being PARANOID ???

That's the first I've heard of this. I didn't know we were lagging culturally. Has GoW been "building" temples? What a bunch of sissies...

[OliverFA]

Building temples is a good way to grab land. Specially if that land has some resource that you need. That's the only reason I can think of for all that civs building temples.

By the way, we are the ones suposed to be religious It seems that we got the wrong civ!

wow... I never figured that GoW would use the same strategy as China that I've recently embarked upon in internal pbem game #2

Hell, Glory of War's China in the inter-team game apparently started building temples long before I started building them as China in Game #2!!! and I call myself a "builder" and they call themselves the "warriors"

Interesting...
