turn 13
Success! my forces swept aside the pitiful defence the Caelian militia put up without losing a single man (or monkey). I immediately raised their taxes to 200% and sent Devasura on a blood hunt. That should make the people so angry that they won't be of much use to the Caelians even if they shouldbe able to kick us out. It looks like they only have one other province left. If I can manage to take that, then I'll be in good shape.
Unfortunately I couldn't send Anuprabha up north this month, because T'ien Ch'i once again has a large force on my border - one that is in fact much larger than previous times - the reports of the scared citizens who live along the border suggest an army 120 strong. So I diverted Anuprabha south instead, to make sure that should T'ien Ch'i be foolish enough to attack they will be taught a sharp lesson. Even though I have less troops than T'ien Ch'i, I am confident my Yavanas will scythe through them like wheat.
Research is finally beginning to look almost respectable, with 5 Yogis working round the clock. Hopefully they will get somewhere soon.
