story of the round:
what happened? did tycoonist:
a) decide to waste his first great general medic by trowing him against a wall of pikemen?
b) accidentally kill him off in a battle to save the realm?
c) fall completely in love with the whole medic bit and decide that one was not enough?
d) get hit so hard by a club that a large chunk of his brain fell out, therefore deciding randomly that 2
is better than one and when it came to medics, the more the merrier?
e) eat a pizza?
well i guess we will find out later...
attacked sparta after reducing defenses. razed with the loss of one cataphract. stack heads back to hurrian to regroup and gather new GG medic (Ollie Cromwell that is)
but before we got back, we encountered this stack:
Alex had been hard at work creating a stack even monty would be proud of. the next turn he attacked in a very futile attempt to restore some pride into his empire. he killed one cataphract and one mace in the entire stack and lost all of his men. just our luck that the cataphract killed was ollie cromwell.
that's right the correct answer was b): accidentally kill him off in a battle to save the realm.
ah well these things happen. i suppose yu guys will berate me for not attaching him to a worthless unit like a chariot that wouldn't fight a battle in a million years. i am prone to these mistakes...
on the other side of this black and menacing cloud there was in fact not one but two silver linings: firstly, alexander had killed off aout half his military, and second we popped another GG, Cao Cao.
we captured and kept knosses:
this was a no losses battle.
we got a great scientist, he popped philo which allowed me to make this trade:
