Rob, can you repost the link to your game map? I got a new computer and haven't imported my bookmarks file and I'm being lazy and don't care to go back and look it up 🙂

Thanks

Which nation has it the crappiest from the beginning do you think? Which the best? Byzantium seems clearly the best, or maybe one of the nations with top notch land units. Morocco is last on no1's list (in the beginning), but is it really the worst taking into account geography, troop types, etc?

Ouch. Most of the English navy's been captured.

EDIT: And Poland has a new player.

I think me and the Teutons are taking a tumble down the Power Ratings list. the Knights chose to invade Polotsk, causing a heavy battle which he barely managed to win.

Maps are updated.

Not looking good for Arles, I must say. Could they be the first ones out? That's a mighty big army next door to Savoy.

This week's Power Ratings:

1. Saxony 1
2. Golden Horde 7
3. Hungary 4
4. Sicily 6
5. Bavaria 8
6. France 5
7. Roum 9
8. Aragon 15
9. Castile 12
10. Venice 16
11. Mamulukes 11
12. Morocco 2
13. Byzantine 22
14. Poland 14
15. Lithuania 3
16. Norway 18
17. Denmark 19
18. England 17
19. Novgorod 20
20. Acquitaine 21
21. Hafsids 10
22. Teutonic Knights 13
23. Arles 23

No moves for Poland and the Mamulukes (must not have seen a resend e-mail). There were two bloodbaths in Polotsk and El-Dhazar; no country involved in either of these dropped less than 9 places. The new ByzantineBot built 23 Heavy Cavalry but didn't try to retake his prior lost provinces. Arles is last or tied for last (0 fleet) in every category, the first time any realm has done that. Saxony still has a healthy lead, but it narrowed a bit.

As Byzantium just became a bot last turn, I'm hoping that he has no recollection of having previously owned those provinces. Except Achaia, of course, which I just took last turn. But as it's not adjacent to Byzantium, he can't get to it.
