MP: Power Beyond Comprehension aka "My power is still raising!" newbie game - Running

[Rejakor]

A province that said 'slingers and elephants' turned out to have 13 elephants and 50 heavy infantry.

Which was too much for my poor old celestial general.

Oh man, this map has produced some of the funniest results ever in a single game.

We are shoulder to shoulder, no room to even change our minds, and swapping war stories that seems like fiction.

Am I playing the same game as y'all? I haven't come across any other nations yet and the indies have been pretty much straightforward (with 1 or 2 tough groups. Only problem is I'm on a peninsula so haven't been able to expand real quick.
Oh well, sounds like I'll run into someone soon and when I do it'll probably be 5 nations at once!!

I was interested because your "150 strong chariot army" pushed next to my capital...

[Rejakor]

Marverni gets chariots? Since when.

It is probably time to confess that you aren't, in truth. As part of an elaborate practical joke, we stuck you in a separate game on your own, just to see how long it would take you to notice. It seemed like a good idea at the time?

But seriously, I expect when you do start bumping into people, it will be a LOT of people rather than just one.

Sauromatia is gonna stale second in a row.

[jimbojones1971]

Are there any indy chariots you can recruit? I can't think of any off the top of my head, but that doesn't mean much.

I'll PM him to see if he is still interested, and if he isn't or he doesn't get back to us we'll need to work out what to do with Sauro (AI or sub).

[jimbojones1971]

Wow. When you attack a province with overwhelming odds, and they kill ONLY your well armoured commander on the very first turn with fairly pathetic archery fire - things clearly aren't meant to be, eh? Still, at least it wasn't my pretender, so I'm still ahead of Rej :-)
