I haven't touched
Mafia.
Inherited Turn- 850 AD
Notice the large Arabian army outside of Cadiz. In the interturn, Cleopatra tries to cancel our spices, so I renegotiate. We'll play 3 GPT more, but they're still ours. Osaka flips.
Turn 1- 860 AD:
We capture Leptis Magna and Nora. I move the northern Army unit into the undefended city the Arabians are surrounding.
Turn 2- 870 AD
Hannibal requests a peace treaty. I assume the goal of this war is to obliterate the Carthaginians, so I deny his request. The Arabian army moves. Most of it is concentrated at Leptis Minor- either these guys are on their way to someone, or they're moving to less-defended targets- such as Satsuma and Rusicade. Also, one crusader and two longbowmen are heading in the gneral direction of Hadrumetum. A Carthaginian MDI/settler pair is near Leptis Magna, so we kill them and gain two slaves.
Turn 3- 880 AD
Arabians and Egyptians continue to move past our cities. It'd be funny if they were moving to attack each other. Carthage has a lot of cities left, and he's not aware of his inevitable defeat. While one of our beserks kills an MDI guarding the Carthaginian border, we discover the great city of Carthage. I'm
guessing it has four-eight defenders.
Turn 4- 890
Ah, the Egpytians were heading for the Aztecs, as we see them engage several Aztec settler pairs. But the Arabian objective is still in doubt.
Turn 5- 900 AD
The Arabian army is turning back toward the north. I think this may be due to me weakening the garrisons of Cadiz and Theveste due to my plans for Oea, which will grant us the mighty gift of Saltpeter.
Turn 6- 910 AD
Raze a barbarian encampment, gain 25 gold. We capture Oea.
Turn 7- 920 AD
Approach Utica and Carthage.
Turn 8- 930 AD
Carthage captured. One loss. Utica captured. No losses.
Turn 9- 940 AD
The Treaty of Thebes is signed, ending the Egyptian-Aztec war. We lose a Beserker probe near Cirta. Arabs complete Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Turn 10 - 950 AD
Arabians and Egyptians heading for home. We've got troops heading for Carthage. A four-man scouting party discovers Hippo, the new Carthaginian capitol. Next player will probably be able to take it; not much those four Beserkers can't handle.
I apologize for the long delay; once I get into a new game I REALLY get into it.
Cathargo delende est! (or something to that effect).
