Caliph at the Gates

[Flax]

It seems as though the great and peaceful Caliph has decided upon another calling.



I figure he's not here for a social visit and I expect to be attacked next turn. I'll try to muster enough force to repel him, but any help from my western allies would be much appreciated.

You know I never really check these boards... You have to remind me at the org or on MSN if you want help. Otherwise... shucks

Wow, if he hits the Coalition he is in for a world of hurt. There are members on virtually every side of him.

Ramses, we in the west have come to suspect the Caliph has at least one ally. His move would leave him very exposed.

We did have a problem of a known spy in the Coalition before. Perhaps now that person is trying to undermine us further.

Unfortunately, because of this, I'm not much help to the East. However, you guys seem to be doing alright and you have your new Commander to guide you. I must help Georgia because it seems no one else will.

edit: nah, thats not fair. Rome seems willing to help, too.

[ramsesiicp]

A known spy? Since only one person has left, I presume that was Tristan?

Who could be his ally then, if the KoJ is down for the count and the Ayyubids still in build-up mode? Aren't the Kypchaks purely AI?

Georgia has some incredibly choke points to defend. Spend a litte cash on forts and spies and you'll hold for a long, long time.

This hotseat is very confusing.

I agreed a peace settlement with the Caliph early on in the game, and my borders with him are therefor under-manned for a war. Plus, most of my troops are still in Khwarezm. I'll see what I can do to help though.

[tristan]

Though it's been a long time since I've been here (and I'm dead although...), I was never, at no time, a spy for anybody

[askthepizzaguy]

Nah I doubt it was tristan. The Caliph seems to have backed off. Seems our spy has tipped him off about our defensive plans.

Don't worry, I know who you are...
