First time playing where an AI actually builds walls. One of the first times playing where I sack two towns without either player being totally eliminated so I was fighting them
both with my ally the whole time.

Ideal formula for a skirmish.

Didn’t make that mistake again. Next time, I stayed entrenched and move the front gradually towards the 2nd enemy base. Both enemies still alive and sending waves of soldiers taken down by ribalds and French knights.

Finally I hit the town centre and level Player 2’s three monuments. Boom.

That's very well done! I've darned socks but the lines look way messier.

There are fossils in some of the old limestone buildings here in Montreal. Really cool.
