Rowain, Frederick and the Hansa

[Rowain]

Considering to make my list look like:

1 Germany / Frederick Barbarossa
2 Kongo / Mvemba a Nzinga
3 Egypt / Cleopatra
4 Aztec / Montezuma
5 France / Catherine de Medici

[Rowain]

First battle already won as I get to play as Frederick

Lets see Bacchus as Rome, Ichabod as Russia and Emperor as Arabia have a strong military UU.

If he stays focused and reaches Cossacks Ichabod will win this game.

I hope Rome as not my neighbour but I bet everyone else hopes that too. Maybe the Mapmaker can place Rome on some far away Island please?

Here is your start...




Good luck!

[Rowain]

Thanks Woden (and BRick) for your work

[Rowain]

And so it begins




Work the rice to grow ASAP. See already 2 future city-sites and 1 Hansa-site.

[Rowain]

For reasons unknown to me Ichabod declared war. Does he really need my worker so badly?

But ok for now until I'm dead or he coughs up enough compensation we are at war.

[Rowain]

I understand Ichabods gameplan less and less. He has now declared war on his western neighbour Rome too.

Turn 60: Ichabod conquers carthage and I get:

Overview:

Kagran is the former Jerusalem.

[Rowain]

So far I had a very good relationship with Bacchus (Rome) I hope this doesn't change when Archduke takes over.

Concerning the game: Ichabod captured a city from Rome and if Krill or Arabia don't attack Ichabod soon he will conquer Rome then me and win the Game.

[Rowain]

Ichabod came asking for peace.

Since he didn't offer anything at all I declined.

Krill is now at 5 cities and has the strongest military (~3 Horseman more than me)

Thanks to a deal I made with Bacchus (Iron for Rome Horses for me) I can make my own Horseman and hope to close the gap a bit.
