T98:
Napoleon arises to another weary day. Frantic pleas to neighbours for hard copper and harsh conscription will be enough to survive the first wave of chariots, and maybe the second, but that will not be enough.

But mayhap Alhazard will stay his hand and he can achieve a final act of defiance in maintaining the state of war, causing unhappiness in the lands of the conqueror from across the seas.

metra got circumnavigation last turn. Bollocks.
Interturn, my 2 spearmen in ritardando defeated [slash]4[/slash] 5 chariots, with 1 chariot retreating (the city ruins are 6N of alla marcia).

So that's 6 out of the 11 chariots from the first wave taken out. And for some reason metra landed his second boatload of chariots on the southern half of the
channel Mediterranean instead of going for my capital. He is welcome to my gold mines while I get more spears and 6 exp archers from alla marcia. I position troops to corral the northern chariots so:
But all is still doomed...
