Japper leads the Imperium of Man to death or glory

[Emperor K]

Thanks for your reports.

Ya the timing of RNG with the battles can be annoying, I always try to have an extra guy around to finish something off.

Yeah no... pindicator has knights on the field now, unless Alhambram jumps on him I'm torched. Oh well let's see if the third time is the charm in pbem8

Slow dying continues, I'll have walls in my capital in 2 turns. Hopefully enough to halt the advance. 

Met Krill this turn, he has 200 gold saved up and makes 78 a turn. I think this is one of the issues with this map, it's past turn 115 and yet I hadn't met half the players in the game up to this point.

Turn 116:

Macragge, the glorious jewel of my empire falls to pindicators knights, along with its crossbow garrison :



That all but halved my science rate and puts even my capital at risk

Situation in East is equally bad:



Well at least not all my cities will fall to pindicator

I used the discovery of Civil Service to swap into Feudal Contract for quicker Xbow production (down to 5 turning them in the capital, which could be quite the nuisance as well now that it has walls)

"I'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hacked!"

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM



Well Alhambram did the smart thing and attacked me. I attacked out with a chopped legion at Fenris but it only did 26 damage, so barely enough to overcome Mamluk healing... I expect to be out of the game in 20 or fewer turns, oh well it was already unwinnable anyways...

I was wondering in my thread what happened with Japper whose strength was #1 around turn 100 and suddenly in handful turns war against Pindicator lost whole army.

Now I did quick check at your screenshots and Pindicator's screenshots of Roman-American war, I can't help but be baffled:

-No battering ram, then you can basically forget taking encampment and cities. You did build one with 3 turns before completion when you DoW'ed.
-Willing to attack against army of equal size with Dotf/Home continent bonuses at other side? It basically ended in slaughter.
-Not waiting for me, I really intended to help you at turn 115 with my GG powered Mamluk army. Till turn 115 you could have built more units and reinforced your two new cities, now they did fall fairly quickly without walls.

To be fair I did consider to backstab you, but I truly only committed it when you was upon verge of collapse to prevent Pindicator from taking all Roman cities.
