Succession Game VIII: Alexander's dead.

[EPW]

3400 BC - 3200 BC Reign of Emperor Nortan Antivirus II

3320 BC- the capitol city of hexagonia, there only city, Adrianople is either producing a heck of alot of settlers, or starving.

An army is sent out to destroy 2 barb warriors, then proceed to take Vandals.

3300 BC- Our army is completely destroyed while attacking vandals-it is heavily defended.

3280 BC-Plague strikes our empire, thousands die accross the empire, a group of 4 barbs appears outside the lightly defended Maqualdoria.

3260 BC- the barbs leave but Maquildoria and New Larissa riots. Entertainers are added to nearly evey city.

More barbs show up during their turn and take Maquildoria.

3240 BC- Apolytonia is caputered by barbarians.

3200 BC - Nortan is burnt at the stake for being compltetely incompetent.

Norton Antivirus II its not going too well is it...

[EPW]

I shouldn't have tryed to take Vandals, but I figured it was going to be lightly defended like the others.

[Maquiladora]

whats left in Vandals then?

Also what is the plan now? I suggest we keep building largely defensive units and kill off any barbs we see in weak stacks, then possibly retake and take some new cities of theirs. Then we can start spamming Javelin Cavalry maybe.

Speaman militia, some spearman, javelin cavelry, 4 slavemasters, maybe a slinger. They are injured though.

I agree, just keep pumping out units, the lack of a capitol has hurt though making us use entertainers.

only 3 of us for now... and i'm retiring for 3 weeks in two weeks

i'll just aim for our own cities... first

[HuangShang]

3200- Kingsoft AntiVirus III steps up the the throne after his distant relative was removed by the force of the people

3180- Embassy in Hexagonia... trades ceremonial burial advance for brick making (what was our current research)
research started on applied math... neither the Mongol or the Hex have it, so it will help us for trading

3140- something happened in Carthage... it shows people dying as well as an earthquake like sound... any explination?

3120- retakes both Apoytonia and Maq... neither city is defended at all however
good news is that there is no huge barb stack and Kingsoft AntiVirus is picking off all their little barbs

3100- 4 stack of barbs murdered... and that thing happened in Carthage again... now their city has the "watchful" eye sign on it

3040- Tragedy! the Bazyntine jump the city of Alexandria w/ a stack of five... now only a single warrior guards Alexandria...

3060- got the Bazyntine into a cease fire... but no peace treaty in sight

3040- despite the people's anger over how Kingsoft AntiVirus III destroyed relations w/ the Bazyntine over some wives, the now cheer his name in the streets as the empire sits on FOUR new advances, and now, we are at the same tech as them Hex... research is now started on the fasted tech... Jupridence

3020- Mongol calvary w/ a stealth unit... presumably a slaver approaches the almost unguarded Alexandria

3000- suspicions were correct, the Mongol attacked, but the stealth unit was a normal slaver and didnt have any combat exprience... that was the deciding factor of the battle!
peace treaty signed w/ Bazyntine, but Kingsoft AntiVirus III never made it home... it appears his assassin was a rogue member of the Bazyntine royal family... not to mention that a Bazyntine stack still hangs w/in our borders


P.S. where is the trust!?!

[EPW]

Good job at reclaiming our cities and Great job at getting the techs Four new techs in ten turns

[HuangShang]

the tech i researched, + 2 for trading this tech + 1 more for trading the Mongol's tech = 4 techs in ONE turn
five in ten

the problem now is that we have four fronts of war, and our only friend is a speck b/w two of them
also, there are like three cities that desperately need better defence

[EPW]

Erm..Its your turn Maq, its been 4 days....

[Maquiladora]

Happy birthday Maq.

No hangover?

Happy birthday Maq.

No hangover?

Thanks

Slightly but no permanent injuries

3000 BC Set goal to Architechture seeing as that leads to Capitol, but not sure what should be our next tech on this massive tree?

Mongols offer cease-fire and i accept.

Barbs attack 2 loosely defended cities but we survive somehow.

2880 BC The Carthaginian's convert Alexandria to their religeon (i think) I started a Prophet building in New Larissa seeing as that city has full garrison.

2840 BC Byzantines offer to exchange maps, i accept perhaps foolishly.
Carthaginian's try to convert EPW-opolis and fail.

2820 BC Carthaginian's convert Hippo

These 10 turns were mostly spent reenforcing cities with a few more spearmen. I sent some units out to find the Carthaginian cleric? But its hard to find without right-click. I moved our diplomat towards the Byzantines for an embassy too. Also we have a Javelin Cavalry inside Greek borders to use to destroy their roads and whatever else. But our easiest goal is still to capture those 2 barbarian cities closest to us.

[EPW]

2740 BC- Our diplomat sees the evil prophet...heading for the Mongols
2760 BC- Our diplomat asstablishes an embassy with the treacherous Mongols.
Military Pact with the Byzantines agreed to. I then ask them to honor the agreement and attack Greece, and to my surprise they accept. They also agree to go to war with the Carthaginians. I hope I havn't condemned them to a premature death.
I then make a peace treaty with the Mongols, they are about ten advances ahead.

During their turn the Byzantines demand that I declare war on the Mongols, I guess I didn't think it through very well. I accepted because the Byzantnes are more powerful, and in the distant future the Mongals should be assimilated into our Empire.

Our Javelin cavalry is attacked by a Greek Horseman, survives, and then is killed by a barb stack. Apolytonia is attacked by two barb chariots which are repeeled easily.

2740 BC-I stop production of the prophet because I don't see the point in building one. The Carthaginian Prophet apparently was killed(or at least failed) when it tryed to convert Perinthus.

2720 BC- Sirus the Great completes the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Ashen.
The Barbs kill one of our warriors who was making its way to Maqualadonia

2700 BC- Barb killed, embassey established in Byzantine.

2680 BC- Mongolian hopilite and slaver killed outside Alexandria, we suffer the loss of a warrior.

2620 BC- New Larissa falls to the Greeks. Theres also some Greeks hanging around our other cities...

I hope the incursions of the Greeks don't stop my succesor from continueing my effort to take Vandals.....

[HuangShang]

HappyBirthday Maq

how'd the fully garrisoned New Larissa get captured?
i thought the Greeks just had a 7stack around to annoy us
