Spoiler T171 :
I declare on Napoleon and cause an absolute bloodbath. Don't think I lost a single unit.
I try to bypass that city because it's hilled, cultured and he is filling it up with nastiness, wish I had a HA available to do a vision guy with but I do it with this cuir.
Toku is making progress.
My old units are running around, saving the captures from Hannibal from starving too much. I cold-whip a theatre in them because I think it's handy to have the culture slider as a panic measure, then it's forge, barracks and then just cuirs. If the city is filled with cottages I make a try for forge->bank instead.
Toku took Tours and I'm moving back and forth alot, looking for opportunities. Capital looks weak now.
T170 I move all units into this spot, threatening both cities.
He choose to defend Lyons, and I take Paris, this was the result of that fight, pretty lucky rolls on my part, winning a bunch of 70-80% fights.
Here I'm very careful looking how many xp each fight gives, trying to maximize the chance of leveling units up.
Napoleon thinks that we would make a great team, and I agree completely.
A meat shield that have a tendancy to build a ton of units between me and WvO who thinks I'm the devil himself is a great relief!
He gets Paris back right away.
Toku should learn to defend his captures better.
He has 440g on hand so I sell him Education, then I DoW and take this, Napoleon gets it back right away.
I think the best is to just try to roll over Toku now. Don't think I need to stop and build economy and tech yet. Napoleon does some teching and should be able to defend me if WvO goes redfist.
Hinduism has spread to Zara, and he is spreading it around. He will super easy to have friendly. His huge number of cities is worrysome though.
