Sending more troops to my eastern borders to face the rising ottoman threat ...

The oceans are large, couldnt you just go around those castles? They'll surely vanish if you take their home city

I dislike it as much as you, but unfortunatly I cannot find a good alternative

Having Castles to be imovable (Domain 3) was what I did first, but I discovered that comes with a gigantic defence penalty and I didnt want that so I had to make them land units after all

conmcb25 · May 14, 2003, 11:58

Henrikov, sounds like you should post in Scen League thread and see if anyone has any ideas.

Just a thought.

Dr. Nick · May 14, 2003, 13:00

It's not just the castles, its every other unit on board ships, that if they are sunk, they become fervorous Christians and manage to walk on water.

Not really 'walk' as they can't move, but they stay afloat by divine intervention.

Henrik · May 14, 2003, 13:14

Units apart from castles should be easy to kill with most ships though.
Or atleast that's my experience and the reason why I set the stats the way I did

Stackable combat adds so much to the game imho, the trade-off is worth it imho...

Henrik · May 14, 2003, 13:23

Didn't notice your post there steve

Well basicly this is what you get when wanting stackable sea combat.
The best thing one can do is to make sure the ships are capable of killing of units at sea. The problem being those castles, however I think a ship will have a pretty good chance even against those. Did you try Martin?

Darius871 · May 14, 2003, 13:59

Wait a sec, isn't it a house rule that any units left over after their transport is sunk must be disbanded by their owner? If not that's how it ought to be.

Henrik · May 14, 2003, 14:03

That is indeed a house rule but we where talking about SP

The AI has a tendency not to follow house rules...

Darius871 · May 14, 2003, 14:21

Meh, I thought he was talking about this game all along.

Dr. Nick · May 14, 2003, 14:36

Nope, I haven't tried killing castles with my ships.

conmcb25 · May 14, 2003, 14:55

Heck if its an SP game just go to cheat mode and disband them. You are playing the game for yourself. So what difference does it make?

And if your playing to practice for this PBEM, thats what we would do just disband the units.

jim panse · May 14, 2003, 16:49

come on folks, let´s play ....

Henrik · May 15, 2003, 01:25

FiGu's turn I think.

Yep he's in the hot seat.

French Turn..

Henrik · May 16, 2003, 17:26

Spain continues the gathering of ships to it's Armada, once enough has joined it will be sent straight to Denmark...

This year no ships where lost to Muslim raiders.

Cannon production experts as well as cartographers with the knowladge of Spain's new World colonies sent to the English king. The King of England is said to prepare a colonial expidition of his own...

The seige of Rome is going well and the city is expected to fall soon...

The Spanish mocks the Ottomans who hasn't yet been able to seize Belgrade despite beseiging it for two years allready

Dr. Nick · May 16, 2003, 17:55

The Siege was lifted. Ottoman forces have moved away from Belgrade to regroup.

conmcb25 · May 16, 2003, 20:39

Whose turn?

conmcb25 · May 17, 2003, 00:06

Continue building Empire.

Spainish Cannon experts dont seem to know how to build cannons?????

No tech for Cannons Henrik?

The English remain nuetral in any upcoming possibility of war.

Henrik · May 17, 2003, 01:24

Sure I gifted you the tech for cannnons, as well as new world voyage...

Might've figured what's amiss, I reloaded my turn as I accidently hit end turn when I was first done. Perhaps I forgot to gift you the techs the second time

I'll make sure you get them next turn.

Actually what I heard was your Cannon and Cartography experts were stuck in Soho for some reason. Is there something the matter with the fairer sex in Spain?

Please make sure they get the word to get back to work.

Your gratefull friend, the English King

Henrik · May 17, 2003, 08:50

Nothing wrong with the Spanish women, the Cartographers and Cannon moulders where probably just very lonely after the long sea voyage

The King of Sweden wants to make public:

"We reject the Turkish efforts to expand into Europe. We're not going to allow further Turkish expansion in Europe. We ask all Christian kingdoms to don't sign alliances with the Turkish Empire..."

Darius871 · May 17, 2003, 17:11

- The king has instituted numerous reforms of the Danish government, giving more weight to Protestantism and setting up an independent legislative body.

- Danish envoys bribe Spanish officials experienced in the production of cannon.

Atleast I now know you've allready wasted your starting envoy

Darius871 · May 18, 2003, 06:24

Wasted? What better could I have done with it? What more extremely important tech could I have gotten with it?

You should just accept that you no longer have superior weaponry and should make peace. I don't even want any Spanish territory.

The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and Archduke of Austria supports the position of the swedish King.

Henrik · May 18, 2003, 12:18

Well Darius, I usually save mine for barbarian unit bribing, it's up to you though

And Spain is quite sure that she has some sort of other millitary advantage apart from the cannon tech

Dr. Nick · May 18, 2003, 12:57

As a show of Ottoman power in the view of Spanish decline, Parma was razed to the ground.
