If you're not Chris or me...then BUGGER OFF! LOL jokes. Look around if you want, i dont care. But dont delete this thread! Its spam and this is where it belongs!
OK to begin with. (to those who dont know wtf is going on)
Me and Chris are 'showing off' or Age of Empires 2 screenshots we've taken. That is all.
Now Chris. These screenshots have been taken from the current skirmish I'm involved in. My name in the game is Commander Loony.
First up: The Eastern defences of my city. They've taken a four hour beating, but have managed to hold.
This is a few minutes after the above shot...
The attacks intensify.
The enemy breaches the Eastern defences for the first time.
And because of that, the castles were badly damaged and my resources exhausted. The enemy kept coming. So in order to gather up enough resources to build back what i had lost, i had to dispatch a task force to secure and hold the hill outside the shield wall. They held their position for 30 minutes until the walls and castles were built back, then they retreated back inside before the might of the Teuton army arrived.
During another attack, i had to move a couple of trebuchets to plug the gaps in the walls - and to engage the enemy artillery units.
During my valiant defence, my ally, the Aztecs, were engaged in fierce open fighting with the Teal army. I had to send troops to assist many times otherwise Blue would find themselves running low on reinforcements...
At that time, the trade route between my city and my allys city was under threat and i had to dispatch some platoons of Chu Ko Nu to protect the trade carts.
During the mission to hold onto the trade route, Commander Chong came to save teh day (lol) He's leading the archers into the fray in his specially commissioned Battering Ram. He destroyed a number of trebuchets whiel commanding the ram.
A few battles later and he now gets his very own horse
A small counter attack against Teal. The attack ultimately supported Blue's eventual capture of Teal's city.
And finally, the results of the skirmish thus far. The war isn't over, we (my ally and me) still have two more empires to bring down before victory. So far, 12,000 units have been killed all up in like 5 hours or so. Count 'em.
TADA! Lets see how you go, Chris...
