pbem 'Kappa' proposed v1.61

[bathsheba666]

Paris is but a few days' march away.

 

[bathsheba666]

The game has now been 'upgraded' for dlls from BTS 3.13 patch

Our macemen, horse archers, catapults, spears, and archers gaze upon our soon-to-be largest city

Who said the stack was dead?

 

[bathsheba666]

Rocks pound the will of the French defenders...

 

[bathsheba666]

The walls crumble, and four defending archers are no more.

 

[bathsheba666]

We have a new jewel in the east.

 

[bathsheba666]

Our new territories are lit from end to end with an eerie blue glow.

 

[bathsheba666]

We stand poised over the last French town.

 

[bathsheba666]

Healing up in our new towns,
our troops are looking forward to a Chinese takeaway.

Longbowmen head for our border towns.

 

[bathsheba666]

Paris comes out of revolt,
and the horrendous costs of our far flung towns start to bite.

 

[bathsheba666]

Poised on borders with China...

 

[bathsheba666]

We are outside our first Chinese town.

 

[bathsheba666]

The Chinese acquire longbowmen, and our triple city raider promoted maceman is reduced to 0.2 after leading the assault on the first Chinese town.

 

[bathsheba666]

Motto of the newly formed genteel Indian guild:

'Once a knight, always a knight..

..twice a knight, you're doing all right'

 

[bathsheba666]

A rather dull desert side Chinese town is no more.

We pocket the cash and move on.

Our pikemen are in intensive care after besting the local spearmen.

We are down to the last one of our long planned - but never used in battle - horse archers.

Culture slowly builds in our French acquisitions.

 

[bathsheba666]

We raze another Chinese town, intending to construct a hilltop retreat next to its ruins.

Two more Chinese towns left to capture and hold, the last one being a plum.

 

[bathsheba666]

Our congratulations to the Incans.

Our kitty surges in compensation for broken dreams.

 

[bathsheba666]

A wounded Indian rifleman struggles to a hilltop overlooking Tenochtitlan.

Apart from a stoutly defended city, he espies an array of Incan grenadiers to its immediate south.

 

[bathsheba666]

Tenochtitlan falls, it's defenders somewhat depleted by the Incans,
and no match for our forces.

Thespis, suitably impressed, composed an ode.

West Point starts to churn...
