Then again, and >..well, you get the idea. How do you reliably "take" a town? I have gone into some towns with 200 men, killed everyone in the town, and not capture it. I turn around, come back to it and somehow they found 20 more men for me to slaughter. At other times, I have gone in with 50 men (against forces of up to 150), killed a few, and the govener handed the keys over in nothing flat. I have managed to score enough points to get within two grades of King's Advisor, but I have never been able to reliably take a town (or beat the soldiers on foot either, they always wipe me out ;-( ). -- Skipper Smith | skipper@motaus.sps.mot.com Motorola Technical Training | 8945 Guilford Rd Ste 145 All opinions are my own, not my employers | Columbia, MD 21046
