[Tamerlin]

Years of sorrow

The reign of Tamerlinus the Second will be remembered as a time of plague and sadness.

4780 BC 100 Gold given to Carthage

4720 BC A three units big Barbarian army defeated by our soldiers near Hippidoublioupolis

4660 BC EPW-opolis taken by a 12 units huge Barbarian horde

4620 BC Cease Fire refused by the Greeks

4580 BC Dynasty enacted
One of our scouting warriors killed by a mighty Barbarian army of nine units West of Hippidoublioupolis

4560 BC Shrine started in Apolytonia *

4520 BC Our small army crossing the Greek territory on its way back home beats a Greek Warrior

4500 BC To HuangShang...

* Maximum army size in Apolytonia and area crowded with Barbarians

[Tamerlin]

I am sorry for the delay guys but I am very, very busy these days, I am even struggling to find the time to keep up with the CtP2 threads, I think that I have more or less three weeks to catch up with. I think that it would be wiser to resign as I won't be available for almost two months. Beside this I must also admit The Cradle is far too militaristic in nature for my taste...

NP Tamerlin

Huang Shang your up next... lets see if we can at least be the first team to complete a CtP2 Succession game ..........

[EPW]

I hate barbarians

[Tamerlin]

The said Barbarians are about to conquer our fledgling nation, this is the first time I see such a well planned attack by the AI on a nation and especially the human player. The Barbarians seem to be able to build huge armies and to use them efficiently...

I think the Barbarians will make sure we finish a CtP2 Succession game rather quickly.

[Maquiladora]

A good advert for CtP2 mods then.

But not a good advert for us

[hexagonian]

That's why I always play on lower Barb settings, especially when playing Cradle on the toughest levels

...and continually crank out military units (and walls) until I can safeguard my borders. Even then, it might not be enough.

[HuangShang]

alright, i'll be sure to watch out for those barbs

[HuangShang]

4500- the people place a new Emporor on the throne, hoping his dynasty will bring reunification and prosperity

4440- Greek soldiers turn up in the homeland and hapiness plumits
Government Official hand out public ration, people re-entrusting the new dynasty

4420- sail around the world feat, but the crew of the ship ask to return to visit their families, captain heading back
second ship headed for lost city

4400- Mongol (the rebel nation) nomad spoted along coast

4380- Hippidoublioupolis garrison take revenge on group of 4 barbs

4340- distant news from friendly Bazatine tells of barbarian capture of an western city
barb stack of 11 at the doorstep of 8man garrison of Hippidoublioupolis

4320- top general commits suicide at emperor's court upon reporting loss of the city of Hippidoublioupolis
the Emperor promote his young friend to top general and vow to take back Hippidoublioupolis first

4260- Barb calvary group got owned by outnumbered scouts, but the enraged enemy took revenge

turn 140 (sorry forgot the year) HuangShang Dynasty assassinated w/o a trace... the assassins were executed by loyal generals, who claim the assassins had connections w/ barbs

[HuangShang]

for the next leader ( sorry i forgot who and im too lazy to check):

the lost city of Hippidoublioupolis should be lightly defended, as the barb party that took the city were almost wiped out in their initial attack, and also, the roaming stack have not grown fewer, thus once you have a sizable stack, one good enough for pure defence, go straight for it, and if you get past the roaming barbs, the city is yours


BTW forgot to say i finished the reseach on slavery and started trade on the last turn
