The first war in our new homeland

Last night Stephen50 of Pompey1 (38,48) attacked Sala, twice. I wrote to him and to his alliance leader but it did not help. I sent out calls for any and all to attack that city, even our allies. As of yet nobody else has arrived. I knew my men would arrive first, with the mission of doing all the damage they could do against his walls defenses. They gave their lives doing just that and died honorably. The following is the report:

06:00 my first wave arrived at pompey1 (38,48) i sent what I had available and they travelled all night. Knowing they were surely going to their death they marched bravely on. In hopes that at some point others would join into the mission but knowing at that hour of the night the chances were slim. 196 workers (to carry the food) and 300 pikeman died after 16 rounds of attack..

No damage was done to the enemy's 200 archery towers, but 246 of his 320 traps was destroyed. No damage to the 266 Abatis.

At 6:39 the next wave arrived and 250 workers and 463 archers fought bravely. 41 of his 200 archery towers were taken out and 76 of his remaining 86 traps were destroyed and none of the 266 Abatis (but I used no cavalry) The fight lasted 16 rounds before the last man died.

It was impossible to send more because I was out of workers and it is too far for the soldiers to carry their own food. So I will continue to build and at some point in the near future return with siege weapons and plenty of soldiers and help and we will leave those coordinates as they were before such a dishonorable speck as stephen50 built his first cottage.

  1. Here's his report that I got 10 mins ago:

    Forticfication:
    Archer's Tower 267
    Trap 75
    Abatis 266

    Troops:
    Warrior 1351
    Scout 17
    Pikeman 49
    Swordsman 208
    Archer 487
    Cavalry 60

    I guess he was able to rebuild those towers, I'm so pissed that I don't have the siege gear to take him down easily but well in 30 min I'll have enough food to send my troops and I'm sending absolutely everything I've got in my main city Pliska(he's close like 1h30 from there) namely:

    Warriors 1318
    Pikeman 398
    Swordsman 1001
    Archers 1105
    Cavalry 495
    Cataphracts 110

    According to the exercice my whole cavalry and 50% of my infantry gets slaughtered and I win but it doesn't take into account the fortifications.

    I don't know even if I lose, that's not the point, the point is that this guy has to know that this is an alliance which he shouldn't be messing with :)

  2. Ok so I sent my troops there but it's not that close actually - it's going to take them 2h30min to get there I'll keep you posted about the outcome.

  3. Hi everybody,

    Well I hit him pretty hard I guess...destroyed all his 75 traps, out of 288 he's got 17 left and out of 266 abatis he has 104 left. I had sent transport and was able to take all his ressources so it will be harder for him to rebuild quickly.

    The problem is that I didn't touch his troops, I fought only with the fortifications after I scouted him here's his report:

    Forticfication:
    Archer's Tower 25
    Abatis 113

    Troops:
    Workers 762
    Warriors 1551
    Scout 14
    Pikeman 825
    Swordsman 308
    Archer 487
    Cavalry 54


    Here's his report that I got 10 mins ago:

    Forticfication:
    Archer's Tower 267
    Trap 75
    Abatis 266

    Troops:
    Warrior 1351
    Scout 17
    Pikeman 49
    Swordsman 208
    Archer 487
    Cavalry 60

    I think that he did not open the gates to fight, they open automatically at Loyalty 0 but after we fought he's left with 51 (-3 from my attack). I don't know how it works first you have to destroy the walls? And then he would have no choice but to fight...

    I'll see if I can send my troops again later,firs I need 35000 gold to cure them, fortunately he had 24000 which I'm getting in 2h, all my cavalry died along with 8 warriors, 328 pikeman, 7 swordsman and 698 archers.

  5. Appreciate the help Bai...I'm thinking first..we need to all make sure we have an embassy and hopefully upgraded to a 2 or 3 in our secondary cities so that we can reinforce from within the attacked city...and 2cnd...even though he is rebuilding as we speak, if we all work out a way to hit this guy at 8pm Thursday evening..like for me I'd have to launch at about 1pm to arrive there at 8pm..but we could all arrive united?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Ok ALL...PLEASE enter your embassies and check the box to allow allied troops to garrison or we can't reinforce you in battle...we have to attack the attacking city and that is giving them the high ground

  7. Cir here...Ok all I have upgraded my city hall and got a teleport. I have relocated to Friesland and sent Injun Joe my new coords in the mail. I am working on rebuilding my stockpile of resources so that I can send troops for Friday. I will also upgrade my embassy from 2 to 3.

  8. Hey Cir, welcome to Friesland! Hope it works out well here...oh it will if everybody's around.

    About this stephen50 guy, here's the last scout report you were waiting on Injun:

    Forticfication:
    Abatis 156

    Troops:None - I wonder if he has finally decided to relocate to his 2nd city?I don't see any of his troops coming my way (of course I've stashed some rollinglogs especially for their heads:P)

    So that's it in 2h I'm paying him a visit as I will do also by 8h30am central time:)

  9. Hey everyone, still working towards rebuilding my city and working on expanding as well. While I'm waiting on construction and research, I am starting a blog as well (inspiration from Injun Joe :] ) although it is a work in progress.

  10. Hi,

    I just sent my troops again to stephen50 he has rebuilt a bit - still no troops but 20 archer's towers, 100 traps and 156 abatis. I sent some cavalry on this suicide mission so he should have less abatis and as for the rest I should take it out.

    My troops will be there by 8h50 central time and then Injun's will follow shortly after, he's going to love it :)

  11. 0458 am looks like he looted damen again...
    I'm making cataphracts now. Narvarchus of the Myrmidons sent me a letter gloating that some member of my tribe gave him my coordinates. I invited his royal self to come alone if he was brave enough and enjoy a fine dinner.

    I find it curious that both he and the head of the undead both refer to "someone" in our group.
    Either it is a common strategy to instigate distrust, or we do have a spy amongst us, or we have someone who innocently communicating with people in other tribes, shares information. No matter, but interesting.
