Originally posted by no1marauderIn a move of unprovoked savagery, the Byzantine pirate fleet ruthlessly attacked the Horde fleet while it was conducting humanitarian operations in the West Black Sea. In an act of pure self defense, the Byzantines were obliterated with all their ships being either sunk or captured. Now the peacable peoples of the Golden Horde can rest without having to worry about Byzantine raiding parties storming the beaches of the Crimea.
The Horde looks like it destroyed the Byzantine fleet.
Morocco took Mousakar from the Hafsids.

The AGE basically destroyed the larger Bavarian army in Carinthia leaving it with only 3 archers and 3 siege machines. Considering it had nothing heavier than mercenaries against a force with over 130 more combat strength, I'd say it did as well as could be expected. The battle would have broke any chance of the Bavarians holding any part of the Republic r swearing they wouldn't. Let all realms know; the Goat Fornicator's word is worth nothing.
That is 124 combat strength in my favor, but I see you forgot to mention that you had 7 more HPs than my troops.
I would have a few suggestions for you, but you would ignore them...
EDIT: It is really too bad that Arles did not have orders go through....

I'm on a historical kick with the proclamations as you are probably aware: I used Abe Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation first, then FDR's Pearl Harbor speech and then a combination of excerpts from Churchill's "Blood, sweat and tears" and " Finest hour" speeches. I might use a Joe Stalin one next as I have been sneak attacked by Germans, too (Hungarians, Germans, same thing).
Here is a place for ya to start.

Originally posted by buffalobillNo, France will be a computer controlled realm for the duration of the game. It will sit there, build as many troops as it can, and then do nothing with them. Bots are of little concern, but are notoriously difficult to get rid of.
Great. So next turn it will be another non-RHP player.
Originally posted by rwingettFor those who are looking for a faster pace, I recommend evernight, which has a lot of similarities. It also doesn't require any download as its all accessible through your web browser. (usefull if you play from work)
A wee bit, yes. But it's addictive. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself cursing the one turn per week limit and wishing they could do two, or three turns per week. But alas...
However the reason it's faster is because there isn't as much co-ordination possible and thus less (in-depth) diplomacy/communication is needed.
Unfortunately they've just ended their 1 free game offer... 🙁 but I believe the bi-hourly frenzy game (10 minute turns) can still be played without subscribing.

Originally posted by KnightWulfeThe point is that you would be in full retreat with what few troops you have left if you hadn't begged and/or bribed two more countries to war on the Republic (of course, you wouldn't have had the guts to attack if they hadn't). So far, the force of Bavarian arms has managed to get an entire fleet and an entire army effectively destroyed in two battles with Venice. I suggest you get a few more countries on your side as the buffoons you have in uniform obviously ain't up to the job.

I dont know who is a bigger blowhole, you or George W.
Originally posted by no1marauderForgive me the dumb question, but you lost the battle, didn't you? And there are now three siege machines aimed at your city gates?

Originally posted by KnightWulfeYou're as big as a liar as Bush; on turn 1 Arles runs an army next to my capital city, then breaks an agreement to withdraw it on Turn 2. On that turn, you run a fleet right up in my coastal waters. So both of you made aggressive moves against the Republic as soon as you could. Unfortunately, the two of you combined still couldn't avoid losing the war you started.
Welcome to think what you will. Your own efforts are what brought war to you on so many fronts.

Hungary makes an agreement on turn 2, that Ragusa will be in Venice's sphere of influence on the condition that the Republic allow Hungarian troops passage to attack the Byzantine territories to the south. On turn 3, after Ragusa is taken pursuant to that agreement, Hungary starts demanding that it be ceded to them! After some negotiations, Hungary then agrees to go back to the original agreement. On turn 4, Hungary sneak attacks.
I've had no dealings with the Turks whatsoever.
So, in reality, nothing I could do, besides ceding territories and allowing fleets to enter my sea zones could have avoided war with these particular 4 countries (and even that might not have done so). I've kept agreements with those I have entered into them with; they've broken them. Bavaria still can't defeat the Republic without massive aid from other countries and maybe not even then. We both know it; why not admit it?
