Our glorious leader, Ifra, goes to bed with a heavy heart. Are the Persian cannibals hungry enough to feast on the Babylonians? Or would their carcasses simply rot on the ground and go to waste? Ifra was always taught to not throw away food - waste not, want not. What followed, she could not be sure if it was a dream or reality.
It's feast time!
One turn of attacks didn't do a huge amount of damage. Hopefully we have a few turns of pathetic counter attacks.
Tough tech choice. I normally like border boost, but we really need roads for the increased movement and slavery for more orders. Going with labor force.
No real counter attack on first turn of war. Some real troops arrive on the second turn and massacre our palaton calvalry
. I decide to keep focusing on the city and ignore the troops. Hopefully not too huge of a mistake.
Third turn counter attacks are starting to pick up. We're going to start to lose a lot of units soon. Thankfully, some good news - we capture the city! Took every single attacking unit, including spending 14 orders to move an archer into position. And a few undos to get the order of attacks right to time our critical. But we took the city!
The counter attacks this turn were brutal. We lose 4 units, and have several others heavily damaged. We are heavily outnumbered. Things are going to get interesting.
The war has really aged our leader:
Babylon has moved from Stronger to Much Stronger than us. We need to get this war ended sooner than later.
Brutal massacre - we lose
6 units inbetween turns. We only have 5 units left. Not looking so hot.
We apparently have enough resources to start a wonder? Color me surprised.
The cooldown timer ended and I sent a peace request to Babylon. However, I don't think it's going to arrive in time before they curb stomp our offensive...
There's unexplored ruins this late in the game? Surprising.
