Our catapult destroys the temple of Cologne
Vet. Knight dies against reg. knight
Vet. Knight retreats against reg spear

I leave the rest of the stack there for now pending the other attack.

Vet knight kills a German knight

I'm thinking of a FP in Cumae, or something to that effect. I'll let you all chime in before I finish my turns.

Well, I waited for a couple days with no response, so Im going to just continue forth.

Tugela-courthouse-knight

Turn 6

War weariness begins to hit a bit

I move troops towards Hannover
IT- Ulundi-knight-knight

Turn 10
A knight kills a mounted warrior.
Not much else
Afterthoughts
Well, just as the German war became manageable, we have another to contend with. We can get the Greeks in on our side against the Iroquois fairly cheaply if we need the help. Id seriously consider that, so we can push the Germans a bit further so we can get as much as possible from them for peace.
Have fun!

ok 800AD, take a look around,
we are strong against all except the Greeks and the Iroquois
take Navigation from China for WM, 586 gold and 12gpt
take Invention from the Russians for Navigation, spices and horses
basicaly give Japan Astronomy for furs and a little cash
cash rush a few knights
IT
Iroquois burn Izipedi to the ground
2 civil disorders in lowly cities
810AD
move knights towards Brundisium
expensive trade available, gunpowder from the Greeks and then banking from another AI, but i'll wait
almost certain to lose another city before peace
rush 2 more knights, switch Swazi from aqueduct to knight (still only size 5)
switch Amatikulu from aqueduct to barracks (size 4)
the grassland near Isandhlwana,Ngoma, Cologne and Mpondo needs irrigating now not mining, the shields are available from the many hills
there are an abnormal amount of Iroquois troops around so i feel i have little choice but to take peace from the Germans, they even pay 26 and 12gpt for it
turn lux down to 10% from 40% (ww?)
IT
2 knights and a swordsman lost interturn, no more losses
820AD
4 elite knights take Brondisium for no losses, gain 6 workers
move some troops, discover that we are not in such a bad position and could take out the remaining Iroquois cities in out territory
840AD
Knights take Pisae
860AD
The remaining Iroquois cities fall, they now take peace and donate 20 gold to the cause
870AD
We love the Days dur to ww gone
Eventually do some trading, gaining Banking, Gunpowder and Economics
The Greeks are still at least Democracy and Chemistry ahead, we can afford either but i'll wait
880AD
Loads of Greek troops enter our territory, surely they're not stupid enough to attack and lose 120gpt
890AD
Doh, the Greeks declare war. we are in serious trouble now
900AD
The Greeks burn Isandhlwana to the ground
OK, the greeks are the leaders in just about all areas and we are their next victim, we have a fair amount of troops but they are miles away, i think we have only a small chance to win the game in
the way that Hmmm wanted, it may be even a struggle to win it normally, we had an awful start and are now beginning to recover, however if the troops reach the battlezone before too much damage is done and the other AI leave us alone, then we may have a chance
