Adventure 53: Stack overflow?

[fluffyflyingpig]

Declare war on Justinian again in 1957. Nicaea has just 3 infantry and can be one-turned by fast movers. Trebizond is better defended but is right up against the border. Bring out the chariots!





Even after bombarding away the defenses chariots get >.01% attack odds... Will it be enough?

The game may be trying to tell me something.



I'll keep that in mind.



The victorious [strike]cavalry[/strike] chariots charge forward to Adrianople. Situation in 1959:





A few hundred attacks later: Victory!




This seems to upset people for some reason. Maybe the impending financial collapse is getting them down? Don't they understand that we won?





With that taken care of, let's check on the finances.





Hmm, not so hot.

A last look at the world and some graphs:

Final Unit Count




Thanks for the game T-Hawk! I had a lot of fun.

Thanks for the reports. The ultimate zerg triumph

Great report! Clever thread title.

Yes, nice report, thanks for sharing. Although I'm still confused as to why micromanaging 10,000 unit builds was more fun than playing for a normal victory.

Granted losing one or two units to strike per turn isn't that big of a deal

Strikes escalate. The game keeps a count of how many turns you've ever been on strike, and the per-turn penalty escalates by one unit for every second strike. After 10 turns of strike, you lose 5 units per turn. Eventually that would have overwhelmed even you here.
