This is the root of your problem, Grandpa. I see you have a bit of the Birdman and Ice disease where you "dismiss" high population growth as a "rabbit strategy". Until you realize that initial high population with many cities is CRUCIAL then you will continue to get your butt kicked. QUIT CALLING IT RABBIT AND GET WITH THE PROGRAM JACK!

I see, thanks for the answer.

[Dimytes]

Ohh dear, what was THAT?

Are the rumors really correct?

Is it true that.... Birdmans capitol just revolted to barbarians?

How could that be possible?

Let me tell ya a story
about a man named Jed
Poor Mountainman
barely kept his family fed

Then one day he was
shooting at some food
and up from the ground
came some bubbling crude

Oil that is
Black Gold
Texas Tea

Well the first thing ya know
Old Jeds a Millionaire
Kin folks said
"Jed move away from thar"
Said Californias
place you oughta be
so he loaded up the truck
and moved to Beverly


~whew~

Ok..I know that Jed was hunting Rabbits!

I also know while doing so he struck GOLD!

So..I am now learning through a ~ahem~ private instructor

How to win Big by striking gold and striking at the heart of Wabbit Ville!!





Peace

Humm I'm confused Quinn, I do not recall "dismissing" "rabbit strategy". I call it that but dismiss it? A nice balance is critical, I also know Birdy expands fast too, but in an island game he has not quite got the growth bit down he will. The formula is sound, you just need to know when and how to grow too. The "rabbit strategy" good name self descriptive too. Troll will catch on he just needs to work out a flexable formula.

Just a minor set back - but I am going to X-ify those three munks when I catch them

[TheBirdMan]

The babarian garrison just left the city - it's now back where it belongs.

And Scottich government has just moved to another city - NP.

As for the little Viking raid...... you will se, that this small problem has been solved too. And certain ajustments in the defense are ordered to avoid future "accidents" based on Viking aggression

It does not "count", that the Scottich first "skinned" a Viking slaver, who was spotted on a local inn, where he was that unlucky to meet one from my diplomatic staff. It was too easy to spot him out due to the chains he "played" with .

You started the war, you had other options but now you will have to pay the price for it.

2nd scottish city liberated from dictatorship.

[Mathemagician]

i thought this spy action (causing a revolt) had a very low success rate ?

[Dimytes]

Not really, same successrate as most other "undercover" actions.

[Dimytes]

Ohh right, and it wasn't a spy that I used because it is a bit difficult i think. There are better and MUCH cheaper ways, at least when you have Theocraz(c)y.

Btw, obviously Birdnams people do not like their rulers religion, 5 of his cities just converted to the true and only religion in the world...

It should give me some good for a while I still haven't managed to catch up with Birdnams kick ass sience

3rd scottish city liberated. I wonder where that defence is hiding that the pathetic scottish ruler is talking about.
