Damn you Frenchies, I was building the doomsday book :mad:

Why are many German troops at our borders? Just cos a few boats are away on exercise don't think there's nobody at home. :rolleyes:

on the border of their OWN territory... what, we cannot exercise our troops??

danes never cease to amaze...

Maybe we should exercise our troops on your border then. Trouble is they may get carried away, well you know how unpredictable beserkers can be. If not I'm sure they could demonstrate :D

You are more than welcome to try!
@Franks your taunts have grown too much, our blood brothers the Cordovans have asked us to help in their defence, we have accepted due to the untoward aggression of the Frankish nation on a peace loving friend of Daneland. We have agreed to punish you. We are also displeased that you have stolen the wonders that rightfully belong to our nation.
Bayonne - garison killed city taken
Rouen - garrison destroyed city taken
Ampurias - undefended city taken. MI killed outside and 6 workers captured
Hulva - City garison of 2 pikes and 2 MI killed and city taken.
I lost 1 beserker in this action :)

@ Germans
You have too long pushed at our borders, have you forgotten the punishment you last recieved for spurning our friendship? We shall remind you.
German city of ..... destroyed west of new Hjortspring (Forgot name)
Many other German troops ammassing on our borders killed.
No troops lost in this action :D

@ all christiam nations
It is apparent thet there is a christian conspiracy to remove the Danes from the role call of history. We will fight back. Turn from your false gods and follow Odin the strongest of gods. :viking:
 
The Danes are too strong in this scenario. We could either:
1 reduce the strength of the beserker
2 increase the english strength by giving them city walls and spears everywhere
or
3 set up a game where all of us play every civ but the winner is the best combined VP score. Like a set of four games where you are all of the civs in one of the games. Then we could see who is the best (or luckiest) strategist :)
Anybody got any ideas? What do you reckon would be the best way forward.
@Dufoi and KS ( with reference to the 2nd and 4th Crusades) it's hard to survive as England if the Danes attack you :) as I have found out. Too many English cities next to the sea.
I like the idea of seeing who can use the Danes strengths to the best advantage.
What do you reckon would make the best game?
 
You have too long pushed at our borders

what? i can't have my troops in my territory? lame excuse for some action..agreed it was getting a little to boring just building.

may the christians have their god to bless them in their holy crusade to rid the earth of the evil danes and their leader, the one who loves the hawks!

beserk who pillaged the city met his maker..

game on!
 
So, managing our resources well and building wonders earns us a sneak attack on some lightly defended, low value towns. The French people will not take this laying down! We dispatched a horsemen and we will see the battle another day.

Regarding the game - it seems dumb that the best defender is no better defender than the offensive pieces. Spears are almost worthless. Maybe bump them to a 3 defense. The cords have a similar advantage to the Danes with the Ansars. I cannot even protect or sacrifice with spears for the offensive pieces. Still blowing throught those pikes does not bode well for later game either. Maybe they need to be a 5 instead of a 4.
 
Heidelberg MI killed

Bordeux walls destroyed and city captured

Outside Bayonne Horseman and pike killed

Workers captured in Northern France

The Non christian league has been formed and arrangements made with the Keivan Rus and the Cordovans.

The game needs balancing better for pbem play. We'll see what suggestions we come up with once these 4 are finished. It is a good idea to upgrade spears as they are a bit useless. Plus downgrade berserkers a little.

Well it was boring building stuff and we got a bit p'ed that you built both wonders before we finisheds :mad: The last time the Germans massed on our borders they made a sneak invasion so I preempted it :)
