Tien Chi (Drool) staled the past two nights. Drool I am just inquiring if everything is ok because it would be unfortunate to see you stale more. Just let us know if everything is ok or maybe you perhaps just forgot.

AHHHH

my stupid SC got killed because my cheap army retreated into the water rather then get back on the boat that brough them there!

I originally thought grabing a costal province that didn't connected to my other provinces except by boat would be a good idea, cos if it got taken my an enemy, they wouldn't normally be able to continue their raid on my other provinces. But without knowing what I was fighting, I didn't script my pretender's spells properly, and he kept casting Blade Wind instead of Thunder Strike.. when my troops finally got charged by the heavy cavalry, they all rooted and everyone died in a horrible death as they tried to swim home.

But they had a boat to carry them all home! Why didn't they sail? (its not like the enemy burnt my boats before the battle, or does losing as battle mean they no longer have access to their boats?!!)

mind you, that was my Pretender

ah man thats a real bad start

the only thing i guess is to hope for no close neighbors and if you run into someone hopefully they are peaceful

plus he was flying too.. just doesn't make any sense, he should have made it back to a friendly provence even if the troops wheren't able too.

i guess the lesson here is just simply NOT to lose any battles, cos retreating is obviously not always predictable. What was the line from the Art of War: 'only fight when the battle is already won'?.. yeah..

anyways, Panther's my closest neighbour.. you won't hit a cripple would you? that's like hitting someone in a wheelchair! its just meeean!

Hmmmm.... maybe it's time for the Panther to pounce.

very funny.. but my Pretender's to busy being dead to laugh.

has anyone ever tried playing WITHOUT their Pretender? or is that just crazy? If the idiot thought it better to drown with his troops rather then fly to safety, then why should I waste so many months calling his dumbass back?
