Role Play Challenge: Hannibal's Deal with the Devil!

[CHEESE!]

Oh, well, old fellow, you must do what you must do. However, old boy, please be more discreet in the future, that's a good fellow.

 

[gfm]

Arrrrr, they deserved 't, them christian heathens ! Ye don't be wantin' t' end up in Davy Jones' Locker, do you matey ? Then ye best be razing dem cities, holy or not !

Now stop wastin' captain Hannibal's time ye scurvy dogs !

By the way, ti's mighy fun talkin' like a buccaneer ! Arrrrr !

 

[CHEESE!]

Quite. Now, on to more serious matters. What is to be old Hannibal's next move, good sirs?

 

[Ranfal Spectrum]

Burnin' and pillagin' and capturin', of course. x3

 

[apenpaap]

ARR! This probably be the most interesting war in all yer ARRPCs, admiral. Ye and Khan seem to be quite evenly matched. I be confident ye'll win, though, as yer a pirate, while Khan isn't.

 

[CHEESE!]

I say, fellows, why are you all speaking in that strange tongue of yours? I must say, I find myself extremely confused by the street-talk to-day in our great Republic.

Hannibal's Deal with the Devil: Finale

Aye Maites, we be a done with this here RPC type game! Let's see what has happened.

WE continued the war, focusing on the weaker leaders, such as

Taking Old Chuckie a littel down there!

And we finally got's our main army off to Gondor to finish that Crusading Quest.

Giving us alot of breathing room now!

And that there city nabbed us quite a few nice items.

Judaist shrine and the AP. Too bad that SoZ wonder was not there!.

So what did that crusader quest get us?

We opted for 4 free infantry to defend the city.

Now Mr. Khan continued to assault our two captured Ethiopian cities which we repeled, destroying ALOT of Mongols.

We played a defensive game against Mr. Khan while we focused on the weaker nations, and bringing fresh troops across that Devil's Bridge

Now take a peep at ****ies Capital

Aye, alot fo nice wonder be there, but too bad it's a coastal city.

And here we have two armies setup

One to finish off the northern Ethiopian lands and the other to start hitting Chuck's core cities.

We took the second to last Ethiopian city.

Essentially removing any military from Zara.

The last city for Zara is

Which can wait.

Polly, here Polly

Once again Polly is friendly with us.

So now we get serious against Chuckie

I should comment that we are still using a few war elephants and a few Numidian Cavalry units! Classi Hannibal still bringing the Jumbos!

And the AP vote comes up

Ha, just me and Polly. We easily won the vote and did nothing with it!

Bearing down on Chuckie's capital

Which we razed.

At this point we checked domination requirements

I be a thinkin' that Mr. Khan's lands needs to be attacked.

Also once we get demcoracy and adopted emancipation, we ran the slider at 50% cultue and 50% gold. Research just aint worth it right now.

Still Chuck has not realized we are much better to live with than Mr. Khan, so we continue the assault

You all get the idea. Perhaps it's time to start considering Mr. Khan's lands.

While our main stack is rampaging across this fine land, we are constructing another to the eastern region. Sort of a 2 prong Mongolia attack.

But the greatest battle of the entire segment was a massive clash of Carthaginian and Mongolian cavalry, with dozens on each side! Eventually we prevailed

A cruching defeat on Mr. Khan as a very large part of Mr. Khan's war machine dies defending that city.

To Be Continued

Hannibal's Deal with the Devil: Finale


At this here point we decided to finally clear out all of the rubish, starting with That Ethiopian Guy

Zara is no more!

Polly!

Dane Polly, do the dance I loves to see you doing.

After the great Cavalry Battle, Chuckie denounced Mr. Khan's overlordship and wanted to talk peace.

And then there was one Mr. Khan, come, let's discuss your inevitable end.

Aye Mates, we needs some more land for a domination.

So we pounded

Pounded

And pounded

And still Mr. Khan stubbornly refused to capitulate.

Bit teh next city we captured on the coast we were given the option to gift it to Chuckie

And after tediously taking many more Mongol cities Mr. Khan was willing to talk the talk we was looking for.

Ah, not that's what we were a seekin'!

And the next turn

DOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aye, we be the best Land Pirates this side of a Pangea map!.

Let's take a peak at some numers

Power!

Deaths on some Mongol units

Demographics

Our grand Pirates picture

And at last, a full view of the world showing that lovely Devils Bridge.

Hope you all enjoyed this fine Land-Lover's Pirate tale. Twas alot of fun. Da' recap will be afollowing in a wee bit!

 

[cripp7]

Another game well played Mad

 

[apenpaap]

ARR, gettin' Chinghis to capitulate. I've found that that be extremely hard to do, as he often simply refuses until the end. Great game!

 

[huerfanista]

A cruching defeat on Mr. Khan as a very large part of Mr. Khan's war machine dies defending that city.

What are you, the NY Times? "Mr. Khan", indeed.

Great job as always, Mad. You be da king!

 

[dirtyparrot]

Congrats on the win. Mad Scientist, are we allowed to suggest ideas for RPC?

 

[gfm]

Arrr ! Shiver me timbers, the de'il held his share o' th' bargain, an' yer buccaneers pro'ed more than enough for Mr Khan ! The scurvy dog fell to his knees like a Bilge rat ! Well done captain Hannibal, t'is a great victory for a land-lubber admiral !

 

[Matthew5117]

^You don't know?? Mad's not planning of playing any more games after the ones he's scheduled... remind us what those are please Mad!

Great game! I doubted you'd win at first (well not really, you ALMOST always win!).

 

[madscientist]

Congrats on the win. Mad Scientist, are we allowed to suggest ideas for RPC?

Aye me friend, you can always suggest but old Mad Scientist is gonna be packing up his RPC shoes and doing a littel fishin'!

The final four be

Happy Hatty
Degaulle's League
Abe Loves NY
The Return of the Khan

That would be an RPC tale for everyone of our fine leaders!

Descriptions of the last 4 can be found in me summary in the signature!

 

[Killroyan]

Great game Mad, as always. About the return of Khan, there should be at least one picture in it of William Shatner shouting "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"

 

[CHEESE!]

A smashing win, sir, as I find myself thinking that Genghis Khan is often very hard to capitulate, which magnifies your win all the more! Cracking!


May it please you, sir, if I could suggest that the final game should be with Sid Meier himself?

Nope, I am sticking with the 52 leaders.

 

[huerfanista]

Mad, will the Khan game be Kublai on a large/huge pangea map going for conquest (like the Genghis game)? That one was great fun. I suggest that you include all of your nemeses (Shaka, Surya, etc).
