MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)

Check this one out for a neutral in my territory:
"The province contains about 100 hostile units. The army consists mainly of Heavy Infantries, Knights, and Eternal Knights."

Any guesses on just how darn long this place will remain independant? And this is with indy set at 6!!!

NP it's probably only scouting inaccuracies and there are only 50 knights (cough).
hhm - any idea what an eternal knight is? Sounds bad but you may get to recruit it.

Some of those reports can be misleading - hoburg with a devil - means 1 devil per turn. Druids can mean Darkvines which are really bad news.

ouch those hoburgs with devils are so scary
any blood mages in indi provinces are evil because they often summon hordes of imps so always the option for a lucky magekill

some indeps are really evil .
between me and pickles in newbie game 1 is an indy province with a golem leading living statues + gargoyles .
also we are at about turn 35 the province is still independent . neither pickles nor i have dared to attack it still

i guess your province is a good candidate for a similiar destiny panther

well it has got your dominion at 7 now so it looks like a big waste of time to me now.

Hey All, This is your server host Klatu.

Please note: T'ien Ch'i is now AI controlled.

Hopefully thing will now speed up. lol

I think an enternal knight is those flying power dudes who come with the mercenary Orion. I believe they cannot be recruited, but at least I will get ordinary knights there if needed.

I may attack with a scout and see exactly what they are. If he is unable to retreat because they do fly, then it is not a big loss that way. And if I do this, I will post the stats of those guys in here for all us newbies.

But yes, it is a candidate for staying neutral a long time. Unfortunate for me because I plan to put a castle in the adjacent province at some future point.

And it was 70 the first time I could see it, so there ought to be less than 100.

Eternal Knights don't fly - and they aren't really knights either, having neither horses nor lances. They are just very powerful infantry with flambeaus and (IIRC) they are ethereal.
