So much depends on the health of those units now, but I think the axes took almost every hit there, so the spear and at least 1 chariots are untouched...so if the axes promote, I think dtay might actually be able to take and hold 2 cities.

Christ, he'd basically win the war just off that suicidal battle.

dtay doesn't seem to understand the magnitude of the opportunity he has here... he can keep the Capital (!) if he wants now. before decidong he needs to put a unit on the plhill to see the forces in the cap. gotta gotta get vision in enemy land.

It'll take a while to integrate, but if he takes and keeps those cities Jowy and TBS have developed for him, he's suddenly in a VERY strong position.

Archers were terribly unlucky, one already injured axe took out 3 more before I got another hit in. I probably should have stopped at some stage, but I wanted to kill something. Eventually all the archers have been suicided and the chariot is up and of course our axe loses.

I re-offered peace, maybe he'll accept without looking at the situation, even if he does, we're probably screwed when he comes back in 10 turns.

eek

This is one of the better examples I've seen lately of not thinking things through before acting. Archers... attacking...out....repeatedly.... My brain just a'sploded.... duh

I say fail: he clearly could have also attacked with two chariots and a warrior, why didn't he do that? cool

Because ALT+Q is the faster way to quit?

From what I know of Scootinator, this is not the right thing to offer. They should straight-up ask for copper, and it might be granted. Or it might prompt scootinator to make a counteroffer (my guess is, ivory).
