	Our Government is Drunk Suffering from ads?

I just witnessed in the turnchat:

Attack on the Ottoman city of Iznik:

• Veteran Archer attacks Spearman and wins (promotion to Elite, 1 hp left)
  
• Regular Archer attacks Spearman and looses (no hp damage to Spear)
  
• Regular Warrior attacks Spearman (!!) and WINS (?!)

Mead. Here in Viking land we drink Mead. And we like it!

Yes, a large gamble, but it paid off.

the warrior wasn't doing anything else anyway. i figured we'd at least hurt him.

i didnt know we'd kill the poor bastard

In future, I guess we shouldn't be so...bold. But, hell, we're berserks! If we were sissified Ottomans, maybe we'd be a bit more flappy and gentile when we attack. But, look, we're only slightly-civilized after all, and what we really want to do is kill everybody, or at least get killed and go to Valhalla. So, right now, a little mead before the battle doesn't hurt.

But in future, yeah, maybe a little bit more planning would work just as well.

Actually, I think sending those warriors to attack the city was a good idea; seeing huge hulking warriors wielding masive stone axes slaughtering their garrison probably terrified the Ottomans into surrendering the city.

the problem is the plans take too long. i was given a miniarmy, and one of the archers didn't do his job. the warrior stepped up and won somehow

Well, this is much better,
ju see, I heard that those people were going to ask for , argh, peace with yem arabs ...
We arrr berserkrs! We kill their sons and kittens for fun! ARrr!
Never liked ´em AAArrrchers... did anyone took notes of the name of this brave viking? We need to make an Obelisk of his braveries [ooc] Oh, wait, this is not the ´´Double your pleasure´´civ3 mod[occ] Never mind, building things is too booring...
BTW, planning is no good for morale... it is boring, so I say we just go and kill them all...
good night

Aye, true, true. It is a good thing to go in and kill everyone without really thinking about it. If one goes around pondering the deeper meaning of life, it takes all the fun out of sticking an axe into someone's back, doesn't it? In that case, I guess going in madly really isn't such a bad idea after all.

Nukklearikken, my old walrus brother! I haven't seen you in Thor's time! Have some mead, old chap! Wanna wrassle?

I enjoy killing kittens. Ottoman kittens, that is. A good, swift whack of the old battleaxe does the trick. Have to stock up on the old flugsvamp, though, otherwise I might actually want to pet the things before I chop them in two.

Yo-ho for the life of a Viking!

That warrior was born 1000 years too soon. And it will never be upgraded into a berserk.

Ottomans make peace for Iznik and add 40 gold to it. Fortunately, the Ottoman defense general wasn't sober, either.

hi ,

a clear sign that offense is still the best defense , .....

actually there is almost no way of calculating it , ......

, one can wonder if we keep them at bay a bit longer for what they would settle , ......

Yep, they're special longbows.

Someone might want to double-check this, but if I remember correctly, archers can't upgrade to berserks since they're unique units. Or was it berserks can't upgrade to gurrillas? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it interupts the upgrade path somewhere...
