Spain kills two of the rats and keeps the other THREE.

A perfect man would enjoy the taste of beans.

They can also get themselves through tiny holes, and boats would still come to Italy.

Lol, so many impractical plague precautions.

Soldier class, obviously. And best place to go would be Alaska. All the zombies would just freeze to death, since when have you seen a zombie movie where they take care to put on proper clothing for cold temperatures?

->BORAT -- And v nice Nex. Swing that Grand Army around and smash them apart Dungeonal!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?defid=293347&term=Moop There is this wonderful website I found that you can find links to information of pretty much anything you desire. In case you were wondering, that website is called google. Odd name, I know, but it works! You should try it.

What! You idiot. I read that as 'Listen you moops, if the plague reaches Poland then it'll get into the HRE, so stop it! Meanwhile, I'll be eating grapes.' -- Horse breeding; 1/20 tempered steel; 1/20

Dungeonal can do whatever he wishes with my troops. If they catch the plague don't send them back though, just march them off into Mongolia.

Canada doesn't have a culture; we're the country that just accepts everyone and doesn't try to impose some sort of weird cultural identity on them. That being said, I still think of myself as British even though I was born in Canada.

I see you've played knoifey-ratty before, mate.

I made it, in paint. It's two colours. Lol. And my rats are better than yours Archi:

It also killed 1/3rd of the population of Europe...

They already kept cats as rat catchers during this time period aboard ships and warehouses and whatnot. Though tbh I'm not entirely sure if the cats wouldn't just catch it from the damn rats anyways.

I don't think you quite understand what the medieval ages were. They didn't have pristine cruise ships sailing around the Mediterranean crewed by impeccably well dressed and groomed sailors. They had dirty, rusty, ugly wooden ships crammed with crap and crewed by slaves, slave masters, and [bleep]in' pirates. This wasn't exactly the Age of Sanitation.

I think you guys have more fun planning than you do actually playing.

Oi, what did he say? :( I missed teh funnies

Ok then, I'll trade with south Africa then proceed to Asia once the plague aproaches it, if Asia is not finished yet by then I go for the Phillipines and Malaysia, and Japan if it was unafected. "We shall advance into Plagueolia!" "Don't you think that's a bad idea, sir?" "What? Nonsense! The Plague will have killed them all off my good adviser!" "Errr, and what if it hasn't, sir?" "Well that's impossible! It's the plague, it kills everything! That's why we are going to march in there and take that land, because everything is dead!" "And if we catch the plague?" "Pshaw! How would that be possible! We have crossbows my good lad, and the plague is deadly afraid of crossbows!" "...." "Just trust me on this one! I know what I'm doing; tally ho lads! Onwards to Plagueolia!" Game message: Your adviser has resigned.

I'm sure Mather can answer that one!

2500 Kievian MAA 100 Leon knights 3100 Leon swordsmen 200 Welsh swordsmen 2200 Peasants 6000 Leon crossbows 2000 Welsh longbowmen 500 Welsh cavalry -- Forgot about the surviving Welsh longbowmen. So it's 12,000 longbowmen that are under your command Dungeonal, rather than 10,000. Try not to get them all killed, but they're Welsh so I doubt anyone would really care much. ZING.

10,000 Welsh longbowmen - 6m 10,000 Spanish Jennites - 7m 10,000 Spanish pikemen (+tower shields) - 4.2m 1,000 Galician Cavalry - 70k All the others are leftovers from the first crusade, so they're already paid for. So I have 2.6m left or so. It's these ones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinete

Np. My treasury is now at...2 or 3m. Ah well.

Spain closes its ports to foreign ships entering. Oh, and Spain's army has landed in the Baltic, to be placed under Kiev's command. General Gregorio is with them (veteran of the Welsh war and the Crusade, and well as General Amancio (new general) Total forces: 10,000 Welsh longbowmen 10,000 Spanish Jennites (Basically they're lightly armoured cavalry mounted on fast horses that should be able to catch up to the Mongol horse archers/lancers; they're equipped with round shields, javelins, and swords) 10,000 Spanish pikemen (w/ tower shields) 3100 Spanish swordsmen (w/ tower shields) 6000 crossbowmen (veterans of the First Crusade) 1000 Galician cavalry (Their job is to ride around behind the battle and harass any attempt to bring up siege weapons to the battle) Basically the infantry can form squares and have the longbowmen/crossbowmen in the middle relatively protected to pour fire into the Mongols. The Welsh longbowmen can definitely out range the Mongolian horse archers, so it's very unlikely they'll get close enough to throw Naptha into the squares. One could just place barrels of water inside the squares to be safe, or just kick the people flaming out, whatever. Reserve forces: 2200 Peasants (equipped with shortswords, towershields, and spears) 500 Welsh cavalry 500 Knights of Santiago 100 Spanish Knights 200 Welsh swordsmen (all of these are leftovers from the First Crusade against Cordoba, so they know how to fight.) So in total, 43,100 men. 43,102 if you count the generals lol. All under Kiev's command (to fight the Mongols)

WHAT. How did you jump from .6 infra to 8.3 in 1 year?
