FoG:Emp team multiplayer ALPINE WALL vers 3: running!

Jason, how did you get yourself into a war with Rome already?

JasonPratt · December 17, 2019, 11:39:20 AM

I allied with the Semneons or whatever they're called.

MetalDog · December 20, 2019, 12:02:55 AM

I am good, JP. I don't have any hope of holding out if Arverni comes across my borders. Same goes for Belgae. Given 20 or so turns, I should be in a much better position.

Okay. (I was asking MD if he wanted me to shift over to his area to help protect against his enemies.)

I'll hang out in the Marco capital then, as a rapid-response team in case the Cheruscs go to war: his capital is more exposed and fiscally important to a combined war effort than mine, and far more developed so they can easily feed us. ^-^

I can reach your nearest region in probably three turns if necessary, but that may be too long. I'm slowly building up a border guard at the Germania Superior territory I took recently, in case the Cherusks go for me first, and they might be some help in case your neighbors get frisky: at least they can be on your territory in one turn!

The Celts took the other Super-Germy alpine area I had my eye on for later, but I'm not at all sure I want to go to war with them right now over that mess of a land; I'd be better off integrating my final two (alpine) Rhaeti regions, for which purpose I need more support infrastructure in the lowlands so that'll be a while anyway.

What?! This thread hasn't been updated since December 20th?! INCONCEIVABLE!

I mean, we're chatting quite a bit between turns, but with things happening so quickly in our neck of the woods, we might need this for speedier comms. O:-)

I was gonna sign up for this game as well wish I did :'(

JasonPratt · February 03, 2020, 05:26:07 PM

It's pretty frantic. We're not as far along as the Barbarians Arising game, but a lot of craziness north of the alps (and south of them, too). Not nearly as neat as the situation carved by Team North in the BarbyRise game. ;) -- but they've had more time in that one.

Rome has crapped down its leg in the Alpine Wall game. The barbarians will be at each others throats before long ;)

JasonPratt · February 03, 2020, 08:58:52 PM

Man, if you say so. Last I saw in the Alpine Wall, Rome had mostly consolidated the boot aside from the Samnites (client state of our Dalmatia player), and had just started wiping out the Semons. They're on the way to the wall. I sure can't stop them! The only question is whether they take a few years to whack the Bois and the Celts first before or after they finish off the Semones (or whatever they're called) -- they're one space away from being on my borders in any case!

MetalDog · February 03, 2020, 11:16:48 PM

The last time I looked, Rome was a handful of disparate Regions. Not anymore. That's alright though. We got this.

Yskonyn · February 04, 2020, 08:32:38 AM

We got this!

Oh. :-"

JasonPratt · February 07, 2020, 08:38:43 PM

Dang, that was a clutch win for Ysk and I in defending Marcoman against the Cherusks. The good news from that side is, at least they're also at war with the Helvetiis!

Speaking of, glad to see you take the Helv capital, MD! I'm still hanging in with defending your Beronian region, but if the Cherusks come for me they have enough military power now to make me just a speed bump. I'll stay camped as long as I can!

Meanwhile, Rome just went to war with Dalmatia and thus with the rest of us.

MetalDog · February 08, 2020, 12:00:28 AM

I am not recalling where exactly you are talking about, JP. Beronia? One way or another, I should be ok for the moment. Defend where it suits you best.

Yskonyn · February 08, 2020, 04:43:51 AM

Its great to see the Helvs being under threat from almost all sides! We should be able to wipe them out if we keep the pressure up.
Meanwhile the Cherusks are pretty angry! They have raided along my border . I am super glad Jason's army is still around while my spearhead went for Helv's provinces. Thanks buddy!

I am a little worried about the Rome situation, however. I don't think we can use an enemy in our backside at this time...

No, sorry, that was an editing glitch on my part, accidentally combining congratulations to you for hitting the Helv capital, with a continuation of discussion about defending Marco territory.
