I've been a bit busy lately with ... Oblivion. The thing was sitting in the shelves for a year and I just happened to try it last week and got hooked immediately, forgetting completely about wrapping up a report for adv 22 this week end finding myself with two SGs to play and an undone report. Parnthesis closed, let's get back to business.
Monty won't adopt paganism along the other trades so I just sign peace
I see Charlemagne signed peace with Genghis so I gifted metal casting to ease relations a bit. He's still annoyed so I'm selling him pigs for some coins.
Alex adopted police state and theocracy. He's quite serious about this war. We are investing EPs in Monty so I switch that back to Alex.
I started whipping around maces and trebs. I dialed down research to 0% on my third round. I should have thought about that earlier since the scientist from Babylon still gave more beakers than needed for education.
Brennus asked us again to join him in his war against GK. Can't you see WHEOOH ?
Someone poisoned our water supply in Dur
Not the best choice, we'll be whipping that treb, thank you.
Alex was amassing units in Mycenae but he finally decided to bring his stack for attack
You can see we're not really in danger. I wiped the stack with a loss of one axe at 75% odds. I was trying to keep the better units for attack duty. It's quite good that we killed those units in our culture. A great general is born from those battles.
I started an irrigation chain for our future city. I didn't settle though, maybe once the war is over or after liberalism. It would probably be a production city anyway.
I went after Ondini first. That stack was enough to take the city.
Alex won the apostolic palace election. That could mean trouble. At least we have the option to defy the resolution since we have a hindu city. This should give us time till we force him to peace. Still, he could make our life quite a nightmare.
Our army gets Mycenae next
It had only two longbows inside. I did kill some units in the open though.
Alex researched military tradition. We should upgrade the impis we have, raze Corinth settle a city to secure our new cities and get rid of the culture and try to get peace. Alex is still refusing to talk but he would probably change his mind once we raze Corinth. He lost quite a number of units and our losses were minimal. Greek culture is quite annoying
I hate razing a greek city since we get another negative modifier but we can't help it. Thinking about the AP trouble, we may even keep the fight till his capital is down. Monty is backwards so we should be able to delay killing him off a bit longer.
Tenochtitlan would be out of revolt soon so don't forget to whip longbows there. There is no road access so it is on its own. I set Mycenae on a galley but I realized later there aztec culture is blockin that route too. So feel free to change that.
Anyone feeling like playing a AW game ?

. I'd take the peace deal, make the swap to Theocracy and No State Religion, and hit Alex until he cries uncle. We are probably close enough to wait for Nationalism/Gunpowerd before finishing off Monty.
. Yes, the diplo modifiers are going to stay for the w hole game.
