CSK: We checked for you on rehosts and you were never there, and then we played nonstop for a few hours, I guess those were the ones you were waiting.
Sabaron: I can now tell the plan behind Nubia and once you read it, you'll see how your fast thrust towards Jerusalem doomed me.
I tested Nubia several times in SP and the tactic was:
- wait till Fatimids start disintegrating and crusade starts
- immediately eat enough muslims you become on par with Fatimids, or you're dead
What happened ingame surprised me as Fatimids stayed almost intact.
The guy had a good chancellor and a good spymaster - extreme luck, that saved him from being assasinated along with spymaster and chancellor.
Next, crusades started and it was my time - I moved in to pick up the only rebellious count and was waiting for you to decimate their armies. What you did however, was ensured the crusade will stop, which I noticed and decided 'alea iacta est', because if crusade would end, I would be doomed as Fatimids had claim on me (recently taken province).
Unfortunately for me, the armies still hadn't got to you and been slaughtered.
I held of 6k troops with my 2.5k brave men due to proper teching and army composition, but lost some 500 to attrition and 8k more came in.
In short - first crusade was Nubia's first and only shot at survival..
While Im pretty sad about it and would like a Nubia game, I will continue playing as Bohemia - a strategically important position.
