We are halfway through the Bactrian Empire Campaign, 250 BC (three turns left), and we need a replacement Saka player. Horse archer armies are a challenge to play, and here is a great opportunity for conquest and glory. Here is the campaign map at the start of the Turn 3. Here is the Gameplay topic: http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 94&t=80043

Would it be possible for me to switch to Saka?

The Armenians are so bad that I am getting quite despondent.

On the other hand, it probably would not be fair to give the Armenians to a new player, so forget I spoke. (Unless nobody new wants the Saka).

If you have no one else lined up I am happy to jump in.

If I need (or am able) to pick a target for Saka following the palace coup I will try and take out Bactria

That is great. Are you at all interested in relieving RBS and taking over Armenia? If not, then I will put you down to play Saka.

If any other campaign player is tired of winning, and would like to swap empires with RBS starting Turn 4 then please speak up.

Make Armenia Great Again!

If you think it would be better for the balance of the Campaign as a whole I am happy to relieve RBS of Armenia (though if he is struggling at least there won't be any weight of expectation on me )

Alternatively I will happily stay with Saka.

Your call.

You have the Saka. I will continue to suffer in (relative) silence.

By gum you were lucky lad. Try fightin' with t' Parthia army. Three games of nowt but light horse. Medium foot? We dream of medium foot. And you try and tell the young people of today with their fancy-dan elephants and bowmen and pike? They don't know they were born.

I can take Armenia.

Thanks RBS...I am sure your sacrifice will be rewarded in the hereafter if not on the bloodsoaked fields of Armenia....

So can everyone else. That's the problem.

I feel your pain...I went through a tortuous tournament as Bythinia.....still having counselling......

As in, I would be willing to switch places with you, Richard. In case you weren't just being witty; it can be hard to tell on the internet. The Mountain Indians are effective, but kinda boring to play.

Thanks, but I will stick with it. I am surprised to hear that the Mountain indians are effective.

Well I've been too busy getting attacked to leave my homeland. Massed Archers + difficult terrain = easy mode.

OK, it sounds like the music has stopped and everyone is sitting in a chair.
