Thanks! Those Swiss Mercs are gonna be tough, not to mention that every city is...a city. But that's why I brought all those trebuchets.

Thanks for the replies, guys! It's great to know somebody's reading this drivel, even if it's only four or five. Prepare for violence!
Updaten!
All right...as if sent by God to give me the OK for my invasion, I complete Nic Copernicus' Observatory in Beijing one turn before I land my invasion force. I'm tellin' ya, that's a divine sign (rhyme!) if I ever saw one.
Now it's 940 A.D., and the time has come. I've already landed all my troops, 20 riders and 14 trebuchets, directly north of Rotterdamn. I cross my fingers and begin the bombardment of Rotterdamn. It goes badly at first, but all of the last ten trebs hit their mark, yellowlining many of the defenders. I assault the city with my beloved Riders...I lose one right off the bat...another Rider kills a Swiss Merc, promoting to elite...I lose another...I kill another...I kill two more in a row and take the city.
This is really, really good. Rotterdamn is the city the Dutch were building STAW in, and they got it. That means that I now have a perfect beachhead situation; a barracks city where I can heal my wounded and pick off the attacks the Dutch send at my new city. I should have no problem wearing down their forces, then pushing to the next city. Now THAT is the kind of war I like to fight!
Surpisingly, no counterattack comes. I move my trebuchets and some riders out into the hills to conduct bombardment on the roads into Amsterdam and The Hague to prevent a single-turn counterattack. My plan at this time: declare peace, build up a massive force in my beachhead city, and strike with overwhelming power. The bombing of the roads is crucial to building a force in safety until I can get a peace treaty.
More to come.

Great story! But I never seen in Monarch a civ wanting peace after 1 taken city, unless you have a lot of units in their territory (except the units you took the city with).
Edit: I just started reading your story, so sorry for posting about something you wrote so long time ago: the piano was invented more than 1000 years after 300 Ad. In fact, J.S.Bach (1685-1750) had a work called "Well Tempered Clavier" (clavier? is this the english name for that instrument with keyboard?). And this "clavier" was the ancestor of the piano.
Edit 2: Shady, can you tell me what makes your stories so attractive? I tried to post a story and I had 1 reader (DVD-It).
