I'd say that's a fair handicap.

I've been trying to provoke the Scythians into attacking me but they won't go for it. They aren't stupid, I suppose.
Funny, in most games you can't stop everyone from ganging up on you.

[Paddy]

Well attack them

[marcuspeddle]

But, but, that would be wrong.

[Paddy]

oh, but you want them to attack you - amazing...

[Paddy]

did you send the save to me?

[marcuspeddle]

My trusted advisors assure me that the Scythians are hiding weapons of mass destruction in their hovels. The world won't be safe until they are found!

In other news, I saw Hannibal's army take Heliopolis and then he got killed in Egyptian counter attacks. Now who will have tea with me?

your circle of friends is shrinking...

maybe you should go north with your armies of enlightenment

Now I have more action than I want. The Scythians and Macedonians signed a military alliance against me. Macedonia then sank a number of ships and wiped out a small army I had stationed in their lands. I have a very large army that was on their way to Scythia through Macedonia. I hope they can fight their way out . . . .

ahhh from one extreme to another

My lads in Macedonian lands are spreading destruction left and right but I'm not sure they will make it all the way through. They will be remembered as heroes if they can distract the Macedonians long enough for my eastern army to reach the western border and make a good defence.

well done Great Lord
