Progress review of Medieval, Total War
It's been an action-packed couple of days. The Sicilians rose from the ashes and I had to retreat to the castle and muster some more forces. The whole thing ended in a massive battle between my spearmen and archers and their heavily armoured knights. I had to keep my distance and pepper them with arrows to get the numbers down. I've also discovered that my King is a coward and runs away at the first sight of trouble.
I've finally gotten rid of the French, though, and the alliance with the English is holding. Although they have a chunk of France that I really have my eye on so I can't see that lasting too long... The problem is that attacking the English might provoke the Danes, but they don't look very strong. I think a few more turns of consolidating troops and making sure there aren't going to be any more provincial rebellions (I'm still watching out for the Papacy again) and then I'll have another war on my hands.
