The Flight of the Pheonix

[Paddy]

gone for steam power

although war looks to be quite close

860ad

[marcuspeddle]

I think I'm 5 turns from Nationalism so try to hold on for a bit.

[Paddy]

wow - 5 turns

your science types are amazing

[marcuspeddle]

But the Greeks, Arabs, and Byzantines have Nationalism, Steam Power, and Medicine. We're getting further behind, mate.

[Paddy]

opuch


well I have 21 knights, 4 armies and 96 medieval infantry gathering to smash the byzantine

[marcuspeddle]

The Byzantines have riflemen. I checked when I built an embassy. I wouldn't recommend attacking until we're more equal in tech. I can give you horses again soon, by the way.

[Paddy]

ouch Riflemen

this is very very bad news indeed

880ad

[Paddy]

890ad

well I have a massive obselete army then

[marcuspeddle]

Nationalism next turn. But for some reason I can't send you horses. I'll try again next turn.

[Paddy]

ahhh well you either have sent them or I have hooked them up my self some where

last turn I started training a few knights units

as too all of my medievil infantry, well as far as I understand they only update to guerillas - which we do not see for a few more techs

the bloody byzantynes

I may just have to sweep through them with what I have

sad but possibly true

[marcuspeddle]

Why are you going to war with them? Did they threaten you? Can you build cavalry?

[Paddy]

ahh Cavalry will be good

war - well I built this massive army, and I need to use it after all

and it will be good to smack another ai down in size quite a bit

[marcuspeddle]

Well, I'm quite proud of having good relationships with all my neighbours (even though most of them won't trade any more ) and not once exchanging blows with any of them. Still, different strokes for different folks.

[Paddy]

yes your strategy is a wonder to my court

we are quite proud to have such esteemed neighbours

how do you feel I should utilize the forces that stand ready to crush Japan and Byzantine?

[marcuspeddle]

I don't think they should be utilised at all. That's my strategy.
