@Manoir@Si1 Cree has a huge military with 4 promoted tank armies and other units.
He took my Medina city in one turn. I expect him to do the same with all of my other cities unless you intervene.
Plus, I had some bad luck that has never happened to me before. When Medina was taken, I lost 3 trade routes that originated there (only for one turn). But, it turned my gold balance to 0 and my cash flow negative, and the game disbanded 2 of my tanks, basically my strongest units. Now that I have repositioned them and selected the routes, my cash flow is is +60 again.
Put another way, @Manoir@Si1, if you do not wage immediate and effective way against Cree, Cree wins.
Iâm okay with losing. I felt that my spawn position was weak. I am proud that I was able to kill Babylon early make a good go of it. But it was not to be.
I think Si still has a pretty good shot to match me. But damn, terrible luck for Arabia that all the traders were passing through Medina⌠plus there also was an Inquisitor in there, so capturing the city did the same as if I was Condemning it - which is not exactly what I want right now, quite the other way around!
