War Story

The game started out as a casual islands game: both players going for a galley rush. If it wasn’t for the Korean civilisations the game may have ended in a predictable islands game too, but luckily it didn’t went that way! Avril clearly won the grushfest but Alive managed to keep his fleet alive. He refused to fight and kept Avril’s fleet busy. Trying to raid his coast in the meanwhile, but his intentions lay elsewhere. Alive sent his whole fleet to the back of Avril’s island. Avril took his chance and cornered Alive’s fleet (who gladly let that happen). In the meanwhile Alive made a transport to Avril’s island and there he started to put down some towers. It seemed that Avril wasn’t really familiar with the strength of late castle Korean towers because his reaction was a bit lax. Instead of just sending out his villagers to outnumber Alive’s villagers, he decided to play defensive. He made a siegeshop and prepared to make archers. At this point the Korean towers first showed their strength. He made an onager to beat down the tower, but it went the other way. With 5 villagers inside, a huge range and all extra upgrades the tower beat the onager before he could even come into range. Avril then made a defensive tower too and he won the mini tower fight by a landslide. Alive pulled back a little and made a TC so he could make more tower builders. In the meanwhile Avril layed siege on Alive’s island, but Alive had a very good island and could keep all his economy safely in the center. Back on Avril’s island, Alive started to build a castle. He already hit the imperial age button so he could deploy trebuchets very soon. Avril was obviously not prepared to this kind of fighting and still was making the traditional archers+rams army to defend. But Vikings and Koreans are too different! A few onagers kept Alive’s base safe and once he imped he could deploy his trebuchets and more onagers to fight back Avril’s base. In the meanwhile Alive also put up towers on his own coast. It was hard but with some tower pushing he finally secured a bit of coast on which he started to build docks and consequently: a navy. Avril now lost the fight on two fronts and to make it even worse he ran into the worse possible thing anyone could face on an island map: he was out of wood. There was still plenty on the island, but Alive’s towers covered most of it. Having lost both fronts and having no outlook on wood to cut, Avril resigned.
