Ouch! Three towns in one turn. It seems Tubby and Graham beat us to MT. We had some fortunate RNG here but it still hurts.

For the lurkers....

WTF...
Battle log to Rik.
Vet Sam loses to vet conquistadror 1/4
Vet Sam 3/4 takes 3/4 conquistador

That 1/4 conquistador can reach Mardonna's Hand and some workers so be careful. I've got two of Tubby's knights at my city near the dyes but it's well covered. I've brought the army back to the capital to heal and see if I can back Rik off a bit.

Graham kept Tyred of Samurais and Tubby is building a city on the spot I razed up north. He has 3 muskets there so I'll hassle him there with some units.

MT will be in next turn so be ready for your upgrades. I'm average to everyone except Graham and you.

It's been way too long on this game. I miss this one but it's hard to get some continuity after so long.

OK...I sent MT this turn and on another offer I sent 150g in case you need it for upgrades to cavs. I turned off research and my GA is over. All the sudden I'm weak to everyone except Mistfit so the counters have taken their toll on me.

Here's Rik (in a GA) with his conquistadors. They have 6 tile movement so I'm being cautious on my borders.
