1615 AD (6)
We kill: 1 crossbow and 29 pikes. (135-28)
We lost: 9 knights, 1 MDI and 1 knight of the realm. (135-39)
Ultimate Knight of the Realm arrives. Satsuma gets a rushed bank. I can't wait to the city gains some pop.
I ran out of troops before the stack died. The initial rush is still insane.
I find a sliver of new land above Spain. So far no borders can be spotted.
(IT) We lost our supply of spices. We get them back, but instead of Arabia paying us 1/T, we pay 6/T.
Over stacking the volcano paid off. We killed 2 crossbows, 3 knights, and 2 elephants losing just 1 musket. (142-40)
1620 AD (7)
We kill: 2 elephants and 11 pikes. (155-40)
I am happy to have excess troops, and fortifying some. The stack coming next turn is again large.
Sadly, it is a 2 tile island above Spain. We really need more contacts. Is the rest of the map a bunch of wimps like Italy, or more Arabian monsters?
(IT) We take a lot of damage, but hold. We kill 3 knights and 6 elephants. (164-40)
1625 AD (8)
We kill: 1 siege crossbow, 3 knights, 1 crossbow and 16 pikes. We gain a worker. (185-40)
We lost: 3 knights. (185-43)
Amazing Knight of the Realm arrives and Satsuma gets a rushed coliseum.
Holy, Holy, Holy Missionary arrives. Nagasaki gets a rushed coliseum.
Another island is spotted right next to the 2 tile island. There is still no sign of borders.
