Well, ok, there was a bit more than just a few arrows, I admit. Times flies when you're having fun. Hard-fought battles for the homeland, built and chopped a few units and was able to fight off the english invaders! In contrast to the first war we didnt lose a single unit! (Which is most...

We exchange a little more arrows than pleasantries. And then this! Wha? You already got enough? Nothing happened yet! Did she check the science race she was losing?

OK, forget about Barbs for a bit, we have to churn out some units now to fight for our survival! Feudal contract it is!

And here it is! Liz is claiming she protested and we didnt listen ;) All we have are the three Crossbowmen in between our cities, and five WC roaming around hunting Barbs and scouting the continent. Maybe I was a bit too over-confident that I can hold off England with only three crossbows?

Oh boy, the suspense is killing me! What is England doing? When and where do they attack? It seems they are moving up north, possibly heading straight for my capitol. No fartsing around with little Kish there, eh?

Teddy's people were maybe a little to eager to put down farms everywhere. Now I am contemplating re-using one of those spots in Philly to get an Industrial District up. Is the extra +1 worth dropping a farm? I think so, yes.

The Catapult has moved and so has at least one Horseman. Liz wants revenge for Teddy, and very soon.

I decide to upgrade my three Archer to Crossbows now, 300g perfectly fitting the bill. No money left for the WC->Knight move. That would've been epic.

We have been able to work at least a little bit on science and commerce. Some of it due to some strategic chops. I hope I wont miss those forests later. Passed England in Science! This is big! It gives me hope that she isnt going to run me over with Redcoats any minute.

I better get my ducks in a row, really, really fast. Liz didnt send those units to bring me flowers. I can plop down Professional Army in anticipation of my hopeful upgrades! Apart from that I am not sure any other civic could really help me now. Who knows how much time we have until Liz...

As I am carefully scouting my immediate vicinity for possible barb outpost, I run into this little herd of mustangs... What do we have here? Looking for something?

This was certainly the toughest conquest of the first opponent in Civ6 I had so far. Archer rush, then upgrade to Crossbowmen worked out like a charm on Emperor level. I feel I was close to failure a few times there. Maybe I did wait too long for the first assault. That gave Teddy time to build...

Again, I throw everything I got towards the city. Attack after attack, moving heavily wounded units back into safety, pulling freshly healed units back to the front... Brutal. Having the freshly-conquered cities right next to Charleston helps a LOT, as I can move them there fast, and get them...

How I wished I could upgrade my Archers now! 200g is way too much for me at this point. Those Crossbowmen would be so sweet right about now. Upgrading the WC to Knights sounds also like a distant dream. Note the english Catapult parked right outside of Philly! Liz is having a front row seat...

Quick check on how far behind on science I have fallen. And to my surprise it isnt too far. Making more per turn than Teddy and Liz! This is fantastic news, so I can press on towards Charleston!
