I was gifted a cavalry unit so I thought I'd use it to explore an uncharted continent. I saw a barb archer sat on some ruins, so predictably I went and killed him.
Ho hum. The ruins told me about the four nearby barb camps and my unit was immediately surrounded. For the next few turns he did his best to fight through them, but there were just too many and more kept appearing. I had no support units anywhere near. Eventually he succumbed, but "he sure took a few with him"! 'The green berets' sprung to mind more than the little Bighorn.
Anyway, I'm back now with some real fire power (and a settler), to kick some barb ass!
Any good tales of heroic last stands?
