France is a bit of an oddity; it didn't move for two turns and was replaced by a bot. It had obviously built up a big gold reserve and has built a HUGE army; about 750 combat strength points higher than any other realm! But they're pretty much sitting there. The Byzantines and Poles didn't move again which was no surprise; but Roum didn't either. Their Queen was pretty chatty last week; I wonder what happened?
Originally posted by Bosse de NageYou have to be Royalty. If you are, they're an order for it in the Garrison cities. They apparently raise the combat strength of your units a bit, depending on a random rating assigned to them beforehand. Plus their rating goes up if they're in successful battles (I think).
Well...not much to report...How does one go about successfully recruiting a commander? What to do with him once he's hired?
Retreat levels: Bavaria has apparently repeated a mistake I made in storming a fortress: neglecting to change siege engine retreat levels and probably forgetting to tell them not to enter fortifications either.
For argument's sake, if I set an attacking unit's retreat level to 1, will they flee after a round of combat & where will they flee to?

Originally posted by Bosse de NageI attacked him, he didn't attack me. Apparently he thought I'd just let him start massing an army in Istria to take Venice. A little combined land-amphibious operation wiped out yet ANOTHER Bavarian force. He might wind up on the winning side, but certainly not for his military prowess.

I would be remiss to not mention that the Sicilians made their first entry into the war with their force consisting of about 20-25% of the combined operational group and inflicting and sustaining an proportional amount of the losses. It has become clear to good King Phil that the territorial ambitions of the Heathers will not be satisfied in Northern Italy and his realm would have been a certain target for German aggression. I would call on all the realms in Europe to join us in our fight to stop the domination of the continent by these ruthless, treacherous, cowardly tyrants.

Originally posted by nook7Their land forces grew by 425 combat strength and 26 hit points, I suspect because they hadn't moved or built in a few turns and had large reserves. These two factors offset the loss of two 12 gold provinces in the ratings which are, of course, only a rough guide.

Originally posted by no1marauderMust say that it is an interesting development.

The only question I have is this:
I thought you were going to defeat me alone, no1? What happened? Hmmm... I thought so.
Phlab.... well played sneak attack - did not see it until your last PM to me. Speaking of - I thought that you were not going to be involved in sneak attack, no1? What happened there? And you claim I am deceitful - Have not been once in this game. Hmmm....Should make for an interesting war - but I am curious - You mention how Norway is getting the short end of the stick in the war up north - it seems that Sicily is already getting the short end in ours....
Anyway - I will be quiet here for a little bit - work has gotten rather busy this week.

Originally posted by KnightWulfeI want my troops to attack but not get themselves killed attacking a fort. Would ordering them not to enter garrisons achieve this? Effectively, I want to lay siege.
As I understand the rules - you attack the troops occupying the province, but then remain outside the fort, should you win the battle.
