05 Mar 19 UTC | Spring, 1065: Info: This is a choose your country game. |
06 Mar 19 UTC | Autumn, 1066: Getting on my nerves England... |
06 Mar 19 UTC | Autumn, 1066: The Strait of Dover belongs to me. It has Dover in the name — and Dover is an English town and this is therefore an English strait. Stay on your side of the *English* Channel, Duke of Norman. |
06 Mar 19 UTC | Autumn, 1066: Oh, hey, what's going on over there? |
06 Mar 19 UTC | Spring, 1067: England is begging to be invaded since they're blocking my attempts to expand in my own territory. |
06 Mar 19 UTC | Spring, 1068: Norway. If you can get any ships down to Normandy, I'll give you all my territory. |
06 Mar 19 UTC | Autumn, 1068: Nah, imma do my own thing. I'm actually making my way into the Germanic lands right now. Hope all is well in the British Isles! |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Autumn, 1071: Thoroughly unpleasant. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Good game guys. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Funny that history has reversed itself: The Anglo-Saxon Conquest of Normandy. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Well I wasn't even able to expand into all of France. I was blocked and unable to expand beyond basically what I started the game with. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Luck favored me a bit in that I was able to block your moves and the Norwegians marched on Rouen instead of Winchester first. Not a bad strategy on his part, I think. it could have worked if I hadn't overrun you from the west/Brittany. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Wow! The fog of war really messed me up. I didn't know how close Andrew was to winning. I guess I should have been more aggressive. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Like the last time we played this map, I should have taken a two front approach, coming down from Scotland and across from Denmark at the same time. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Yeah, I was really nervous you might do that. But you're approach wasn't bad. If you had moved quicker and more aggressively against Normandy you could have prevented me from winning. You need 2 capitals afterall. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | I really enjoy this map. Want to play one more time? I'd like to try Norway. |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Sure |
07 Mar 19 UTC | Yeah, I'm in. Dibs on Normandy. |
