Originally posted by AThousandYoungI was indeed hungover and failed to check my orders correctly. The Doge also neglected to inform me that he was diverting some of his fleet, so he can't blame me entirely for the naval fiasco that ensued. I have made a few mistakes like that, most recently in Austria, where I would have crushed a Horde army had my foot joined my cavalry as I thought I had ordered it to. Instead a large Spanish army was destroyed.
Oh, right, you still think Bosse betrayed you. I think he really was just drunk.
A massive battle in Novgorod last turn. Aquitaine loses about 440 GP worth of units to the Mongol's 340. The cream of German Knighthood is exterminated. Gromov's armies re-enter Novgorod in truimph. Despite facing overwhelming odds against numerous opponents for several turns, the Great Khan's empire still sprawls across Eastern Europe.
But the time for battlefield triumphs is at an end. Following this season, the Great Khan will turn power over to a constitutionally elected parliament and retire to his yurt in the country to write his memoirs. You may go through the pointless exercise of grinding down the Mongol armies, but you will never defeat the Great Khan.

l have attempted to be incompetent but l kept failing.
I have learned something new about the game, lads. If you set your cavalry to retreat level 1, they will not retreat if defending a garrison, or at least not Novgorod. The plan was for my 25 Crusader Knights to hit for two rounds and retreat somewhere, but they blithely stuck around and took it on the chin.
Not according to plan. Ahh well. This just means a second Liberator's Day Parade.
EDIT: Oh, good gosh. Why is Riga is STILL mine? Castile, do you have "accept gifts" blocked?

Originally posted by GottschalkNope, still accepting them as I was in Norway. I've no idea why that didn't work. Perhaps there's a programming bug in the Baltic...
