Well he didn't attack us so I attacked, our stack is destroyed. Here's the combat
Hwacha vs longbow, 1.8% LOSS
Hwacha vs longbow, 1.4% LOSS (at that point I decided, which was a poor judgment in hindsight, that collateral was better than city attack, because I wanted to collateral the knights hard so the other units could have a chance, all it did was keep the longbows alive for much longer)

Note that the HAs all had 20 or 30% odds of retreating (I gave some of them flanking) and NOT ONE retreated. I expected to do some damage to his stack with this attack, delay his counterattack for a few turns. Now here's the state of things, with most of his units awaiting a promotion I suppose (some of them at least). I didn't mention all the hwachas that did absolutely no damage at low odds because well, the odds were low on them anyway. I'm certain that what I did was not optimal, you're much better when it comes to military, I probably gave some units the wrong promos and stuff.
He doesn't even have a unit in some of his cities...
Good news (I guess) is that I captured the barb city in the north, now in 3 turns of rebellion. The main problem with our attack was the lack of pikes and knights, with more pikes we'd have destroyed most of his 1-movers and with more knights we'd have gotten some of his C3 knights. Also both sides got a GG in the process, ours spawned at MCG (convenient) and I put him on a pike with healer promos (all the way to healer 3). He's in GJ's borders already. Next turn I suppose we fall back.
