Re: Marignon has fallen
Heh. Hey Caelum, regretting the invasion yet?
I offered you a chance to back off, when you ended the NAP, and to take what you had originally asked for before declaring war. (I didn't know it was do-this-or-war, btw; would have helped if I had.) Then I warned you, when you attacked me while I was occupied in a war with Agartha, that you would regret that decision.
When I couldn't fend off your highly-mobile armies, and you kept Seeker-Arrowing my leaders off, I knew I had lost the game. So I switched gears, and decided to make sure I brought *you* down with me.
I have been besieging your home capital, while you beseige my two castles. I assume you sent 22 of your leaders out to attack me because I had almost brought your walls down, in a last desperate attempt to save your home province--and now they're all dead. 22 strong researchers and spellcasters, gone. That must hurt.
You may be rebuilding your walls now by weakening my army, but defeating your castle was never my true goal (though it would have been nice to tear down your castle and lab, I must admit). Shutting your production down was. And at 132 unrest and climbing, with my army still occupying, you aren't going to be using that province again any time soon.
And you aren't going to break down my own walls anytime soon, either. I can summon defenders at will, and have effectively infinite supplies. All you're doing is keeping your armies occupied. Fine by me!
Next game, you might want to pick your wars a...bit more wisely.
To the others, Caelum only has two castles free atm, with low production values. Their armies are currently locked in sieges with me. The provinces they conquered have been at 200 taxation for a long time now. They are ripe for the plucking.
To Agartha: I'm sorry. I attacked you because you were the only nation I never spoke with, and you *looked* the weakest. Yet you turned out to be the most honourable and good-natured of my neighbours. I only wish I knew that before I chose my target.
Lesson learned. Sound out your neighbours' nature before attacking. If I had done that, I would have offered to *ally* with Agartha *against* Caelum. Ah well, lesson learned. : )
For my very first MP game, I didn't do *too* badly--though I did not do very well, I must admit. At least I have learned from a *lot* of mistakes.
I will stay in play until I know for sure Caelum's going down, then set myself to A.I. There is an in-game message along these lines coming, for those that may not read the forums.
Have fun, the rest of you!
