| Annals of Queen Tonabella; 1625ADSpoiler Text Below - Highlight to See Hidden Text
"Good news, my Queen!" "Then thou shalt keep thy nuts, herald. Pray what is this news?" "The vile Aztecs, having kicked ye crappe out of Louis and made threatening demands of your Majesty have recently declared war on the slime-filled Hammurabi. I dare'st say this maybe has something to do with your Majesty's emergency musketmen-building scheme that dissuaded him from becoming nasty. Montezuma and his vassal Louis attacked the Native Americans instead, tee hee. Looks like we're saved for the time being. He had a stack of cataphracts as tall as, erm, well, a really very tall thing, my Queen. Our spy near shat hissel', he did." "Hmmm, we are not out of ye woods yet methinks. The Aztecs do leadeth the scoreboard above us. I trust them not. What news from the New World?" "Our gallant pilgrims do spread as fast as their little feet can trot, Ladyship, though it costs our treasury sore. If only they could send back gold and silver like they did in the real world. Barbarians there are, but no sign yet of our true enemies. Seems your imperial insight was inspired and we hath gained a mastery of the seas. In but a few years our privateers shall be sinking any enemy galleons they spy and disappearing like ghosts. Whahoo-eth! Um, there is, however, one small bit of bad news, for Montezuma shalt soon discover the secrets of gunpowder, and if he succeeds against Hammurabi...." *gulps* "I careth not for this news herald!" "Ahh, gotta run, your Majesty. Important, erm, heralding to do elsewhere." |

| | I *almost* had a similar thing happen in mine. Year 1660AD, I'm coasting toward what I hope will be a win, and then this happens:
 
Pretty impressive stack of units he brought. I was kind of afraid for a moment that he might take that city. As you can see, I had a decent defense there and had walls and a citadel, which means I only lost a few units, though pretty much all of the remaining were pretty badly hurt. Walls and a citadel were enough to crush most of those units he brought. Still, it scared me. |
