what is your milleage

[Saber Cherry]

Ok, I wondered what "independants at 4, 6" meant. I though you just couldn't remember=)

I also play with all nations, because I wanted to encounter everyone and see what the new units are like. In that case, though, the game becomes VERY hard. It's difficult to control more than just the provinces adjacent to your capitol, let alone march on an offensive, for fear that you'll be cut off.

While we were talking, I bumped on a Tien Chi army, which was - you wont believe me - full of Tien Chi (and not of woodmen and tribal archers, this is what Ulm sports against me, rat!).
So I encountered the infamous Celestial Soldiers. Wow. Respect...

Hahahaa I just had an incredible game.

I played with Ulm. Indie str was on 9. I don't like when you can expand too fast.

So..I had huge luck and found The Underworld in the 4th conquered province.
When I reached turn 20, I had like 50 Ulm Heavy Infantry [Ulm Plate - more than 30 resource per unit], 150! Troglodytes, and some minor units [priests, smits etc.]
Troglodytes can be recruited from the Underworld. They cost 50 gold/1 resource, so them and my Ulm Heavy Infantry were a perfect combination.

This is an uber force at turn 20.
You know, we need an AI, what can do insane stuff like this. I mean if hes got luck with a site, like I had with the Underworld, he should pump out as much Troglodytes, as much he can! That would kick some ***.

Heh, nice, so did they take a chunk of your pride? Or did you defeat them anyway

When Marg sent those 8 Summer Lions at me I was impressed, for turn 15 or whatever it was... I beat them back, but they did take a chunk of my army down with them... If he'd had better mages with them it could have been a problem...

150????????!!!!!!! No freaking way! Thats 150x50=7500 GOLD!!!! ALL THIS IN TURN 20?

Oooops. I meant 50 Troglodytes. not 150 lol. Grrrr, sorry.
I have huge luck in this game. I had found lot of cool sites. I am at turn 30 now, my Troglodyte army is getting bigger and bigger.
[Conquering indies very easily with this army.]

Hehe it's ok.
Btw these magic sites can unbalance the game, especially the early game. I mean Ulm Heavy Inf (resources) + Troglodytes (Gold) is an unbeatable combo in the early game. If someone is near you without any luck, he is toast.
