Originally posted by nook7My intentions with that fleet was to head off any shenanigans from Castile, Aragon or you coming out of the Mediterranean. Of course, I had intended to pack that fleet with marines, but I screwed that up. All in all, it is just as well, as the rumor that the three of you might be coming was a total falsehood. The fleet has returned to take up stations again in the English Channel.
btw, interesting little fleet you are sending into the Med Gottschalk, care to shed any light on your intentions?
Originally posted by GottschalkDon't bowmen have a -10% naval combat penalty? So the Xbows would lose about 10 CS at sea.
Three Light Dromonds would cost the same as two Medium Galleys. The combined combat value for the Light Dromonds would be 126 (42*3) as opposed to the 112 for the Medium Galleys (56*2). The Light Dromonds flotilla would have 3 hit points, the Medium Galleys would have 4. Speeds would be equal, as would the upkeep costs.
The Medium Galleys could ca ...[text shortened]... uld fit the bill.
EDIT: Consider Dromonds really fast archers that can walk (only) on water.

Originally posted by GottschalkIt still takes all that to finish off Italy, so you needn't worry for now.

Originally posted by no1marauderI don't remember anything inappropriate in the Duke's post you responded to, but if he used a forbidden word, that's probably the reason why both his and your post were removed, as you quoted his. Your post still remains as a quote.
Your, and everbody else's Bestest Ally in the Whole Wide World, responded to my post on top of page 249 in an inappropriate manner. My post in response was moderated though it seems pretty inoffensive; it is given in full above.
Originally posted by no1marauderDoge, Garibaldi fought back ferociously! I do believe he was up on the battlements deflecting rocks from the Bavarian siege engines with his hands. Either that or he crept into the camp at night and drugged them, so poor was their performance. By the time Savoy falls, hardly anyone will be left alive!
Thanks for sharing, Noodles.

There is a party on in the Med at the moment!

Originally posted by AThousandYoungGood point. I had forgotten that.

EDIT: So the final tallies would be 210/5hp for the Light Dromonds, 197/6hp for the Medium Galleys.
With Elite Marines instead of crossbowmen, you could get 172/8.6hp, but the additional cost would allow you to buy a sixth Light Dromond (252/6hp) for cost parity.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageAll I have to say is that the probabilities really played in Venice's favor in that battle. I lost 23 peasants and 10 IGs and Aragon lost his whole army from Rhaetia in that fight. I looked over the battle data and our damage ratios were horrible compared to average and the Venetian force's damage ratios were great compared to normal. The combination of the two got the collective Aragonese and Bavarian backsides kicked.

Luck was with you that time no1....
Originally posted by KnightWulfe"Luck" in the sense that I was in a battle with an incompetent commander on the other side since you screwed up AGAIN. Your army of Knights and Siege machines retreated after phase one leaving my defending forces (in a 12 Fort remember) with a large advantage. You really should check your retreat levels and rank placements, oh Great Duke.

I don't know why you guys screw around with retreat levels. They're a waste of time.
I'm getting married tomorrow, so I'm submitting my orders for the week today. Don't bother sending me any messages as I won't be here to answer them. Not unless the rooms in the Grand Hotel, on Mackinac Island, have internet connection.
I might get the new MD map up today, or I might not. As I'm not as fond of the NE map anymore, it's doubtful I'll find time for that one.
Edit: maps are done (MD map, that is)
