Thank y'all for the analysis. The total results righted themselves somewhat before tech improvements came around, but I was still on the short end. Right now I'm stewing more about watching a stack of 6 of my cannon EACH losing against a monster pile of knights. Success chance: 63.7%. 0-6...

Supposedly, a ship of the line has "+50% vs. Frigate." Is this really the case? Does a SOL get the +50% while defending against a frigate as well? I'm asking because over the years, I've noticed that the AI's frigates seem to have a remarkable success rate against my SOLs. With the same...

Thank you, I'll keep all this in mind. Does it matter that the colony vassal is restricted to an island?

Usually I can figure out why an AI won't capitulate to me, but this one has me stumped. My enemy is Joao II. We are on the same land mass. I've taken 13 of his 21 cities, including two different capitals; my total land is at least 3 if not 4 times his. I'm not at war with anyone else except his...

I wondered if that was the case. Geez, he typically waits until he has some reason. :D

My civ occupies a large island/small continent with one other civ. Within galley reach is a somewhat larger land mass with three civs. We're at 620 AD. One of the neighboring landmass civs, Shaka, just declared war on me. The only item on our diplomatic list had been +4 for brothers and...

Thai is exactly what I did. :D Counted turns and everything.

I see. My point was that I've always been able to select to decline giving aid. In the above instance, I was not allowed to select that option. No other option was selectable except the Horses option.

I did not say that. The only option that could be selected was the one lit in the image above. I've never encountered this without being able to decline giving aid. I clicked repeatedly on that option and it would not select.

MY point is that I've never encountered this without the decline option being available.

No. The only option that would light up is the one lit in the image above.

Maybe this happens with some frequency, but I don't remember this ever being the case. I got the random event about potentially helping out my "brothers in faith" who are at war. Usually there's one or more giving options lit up, plus an option to not provide anything. On this occasion, the...

Geez. I thought it was a crossbow unit. Apologies for posting a time-waster.

Why isn't the swordsman's Cover promotion bonus included in the combat calculation here?

Almost. I lost four consecutive 90.9% battles just today...
