An Ansar warrior keeps watch over his charges and spies a Viking warship too close for comfort. The Abbasid army is place on high alert! :eek:
The Caliph vows to remain in Jerusalem :mischief:

We killedd 1 Horseman and one archer anc captured city of Boulogne. The two bersekers lost each 1 hp.


King Harald ordered his troops to invade germans... but is wiling to negotiate with Germany. We want the city of Hildesteim and promise of not expanding throught us.

EDIT:
@ Blaze
I now remarked that you placed a longer black line on the health bar of your units. This means there are kinda many of them (hope workers) or you placed it speacially. I should have read this posts before playing :D
 
Because the vikings destoryed a christian nation in a game called Crusade.
Not Viking quest. I wander if that could be it. :rolleyes: :huh:?



They never started diplomacy with me. :cry: That is just a excuse. Did the Danes try dipolamacy? No. You never tried diplomacy with Germany. Reading through the posts it seems to me that the Danes' plan all along was to destory the christian nations. We were all at Peace with you. You started the wars. Why in the world would I offer you Bremen. Germany will settle were it benefits Germany. Tar is only one place in the north & is need for ships. That is why Germany settled Hamburg.

Well tar is only for byzantines ships that germany will never have. They can be used to build one wonder... The Krack of Cavlieurs (i belvie). This is a good excise :lol:
You can get ports south.
Was not our interest to start diplomacy.

Doesn't everyone read the thread before you play. :)

I need to know how many you lost.... and i cant belive you didnt lost anything. Bersekers from back act the same as catapults with bombard of 6.

I may place it on a tiny island and you will never get it :lol:

Sorry I did lose 1 reg German Swordsman. But other then what I reported I didn't lose a thing. Your swinging axers couldn't hit the side of a tree in a forest. I got hit by bombardment twice. The 1st swordsman against your elite & the 2nd swordsman.

Be sure that my failure to report the loss of the Swordsman was a mistake.
It would be unsportsman like to do something like that and would hurt ones PBEM reputation. Not a good thing!!

But as I stated no information if the unit is in a city.

You unbeliever!!! :lol:

Edited my post to show loss.

Well... you got luck this time... you cant get this luck always.
4 bersekers and a sword in the forest got killed by 6 swords. Its like you killed 5 spears in a forest with 2 trebuchets behind.
I thought you low in defence, but you did played better than other players. I was hoping that i will took 2 cities easely with them. I will prepare better my attack against you.
It's just a tiny victory :lol: Do not get enthuziastic.

Not lucky. God is on the side of the righteous. You'll be amazed at the miracles God will show you heathens.

Combat in Civ can be wildly unpredictable, as the stories of spearmen or warriors killing tanks tell you.
Very much like the 30 years war. I think you posted you did better than expected against the English.
:spear:
Whilst the Beserkers are very powerful they can be defeated by the correct tactics. That is the beauty of the combat system there is no guarantee to victory :D
 
Go Home Viking King, you have no business in my waters, you have navigated to a Byzantine city, my ships are in stricking distance next day, this is not a warning, You have broken Byzantine Law, you will be sunk on sight, run longship run.:mad:

Germany, Germany, Germany, Hmmm?:scan:

I did not enter byzantines territory. If they want war they may have. I dont think you want attack from vikings. We are there in order to atempt a trade route by exploring our way to your harbour... but this only if you are interested.

I know a lot about civ and the wining mechanism. Yes berseker can be defeated easely when it is attacked.
And spermen killing tanks is realy rare thing and is not a relevant thing. It can kill once ... not twice in same game.

I planned a lot the attack against English. I wanted in first instance to get Germany first then England if they do not accept a fair trade.
But ... their refuse + saw their ships that was exploring North and was going thorught Ireland and decided to get there a loghship to sunk it (i've calculated the number of turns it needs for it to travel from Orkney to near Dublin). This could mean one ship neutralized. Also spoted low defence on the shore and realized that a surprise attack will be great. Germany could wait a bit. I also have the luck to meet the other ship exploring while my long ship was heading from Heredeby to England.
In the case of England their low defence and no defence in some cases was the cause of our success. Could a berseker not win to a reg warrior? We were superior on all plans.

I do not question your understanding of the game mechanics, however probability is not effected by the number of times an event occured. If for example a spearman might have a less than a 1% chance of killing a tank that doesn't mean it can't happen more than once in a game. It is the same chance each time you attack not 1 once per game.

Diplomacy is quite a large part of the PBEM games that I have played with many of the players in this game. Read my sig. It means that war is a political/economic weapon and knowing when not to attack because of how it is viewed by the other nations (players) may result in more loss than gain, phyrric victory(?)
wikipedia link to phyrric victory
The cost can be diplomatic as opposed to material. You had planned a war with Germany and Britain but the diplomatic cost of eliminating those nations is high. Your swift elimination of Britain has led to other civs (players) viewing the Danes as a big threat. Don't get me wrong I think your conquest of Britain was a fine move militarily, however it has led to the others seeing the Danes as the biggest threat.
I have lost many battles where I had superior forces :cry: , and won improbable victories too :D

Ok... i understood.
But...
If there are 2 events with same probability, the probabilty that both happens it will be lower.

Vet Horse killed a reg frakish sword.

@Byzantines. Danes ship is empty and is outside of your territory. We retired it far away from your border.
We request permission to sail throught Byzantium if you have trade interests with vikings.
Attacking that ship will cause:
1. War with Vikings that are much stronger now. Watch the military advisor.
2. You get an unwanted GA.
