Chapter 11: World War!
Knossos is surprisingly easy to take. It's not on a hill and there's a hill where my trebuchet can safely fire from its location in the screenshot. My heavy skirmisher is also getting some nice experience in the process by doing hit and run. That's two cities gone for Greece so I'm making steady progress. There's one more city that's relatively easy to take but then it will get more difficult with their more defensive cities.
We have completed the Authority policy tree. Got some extra combat strength and now have access to mercenaries. The irony here is that, if I forget to use my gold as seen here in this screenshot, I can use them to purchase some units with full experience if I need some units quickly. I still don't know why I forgot to use the gold when it's definitely stocking up and wasted.
Sparta is the other city I said would be easy to take. It's on flat terrain while there's another hill my trebuchet, the same one as earlier, can fire at will. I don't even know if losing Sparta really hurts Greece given their number of cities but I like the fact that I can finally strike back, though the war is going very slowly as I don't want to lose any units in the process.
I definitely had the option to keep warring with Alexander but I decided to end the war. I don't know if it was a good idea or not. If I keep conquering, I'll be seen as a warmonger and probably make more enemies. I also want to be on good terms with America since they are the best ally to fight against the Celts as America is quite powerful. I still have a hard time determining when to end wars and when to continue. For this decision, I still don't know while writing this update and playing further along.
The Celts have made many enemies and currently in two undecided wars. However, they are holding their own and I'm worried if the Celts can be stopped. For me, I need to use the peace to build up my infrastructure more. I also need to plan for a future war with Greece. I have defeated them but Alexander still has his capital. Something tells me that he won't be happy with his losses recently.
And that's it for this chapter. Next chapter, we will see if another war is around the corner.
Spoiler I. Enemy Worker Shot and Knossos Captured! :
