The game attracted a total of four players, Tony was also expected to join, but missed the game due to an unfortunate lapse of memory and our failed attempts at communication. Nevertheless, Oliver, Simon, Pysethus and myself had a great game.
The game started with the usual frantic economic buildup. Relatively early in the game Pysethus made a landing in south turkey, below Simons city in the north. Meanwhile, Saitou was busy prepearing a large army and navy which he was able to do relatively early due to a new technology policy where only researchers vital to the attack are research. The target of the attack was Seleukos, rather than Pysethus, who was a neighbour but also a trading partner. Before attacking, Saitou made pact of peace with Simon, due to fears he was allied with Seleukos and that Seleukos would thus be able to use Simon's line of sight to spot the incoming navy.
Saitou split his navy into two attack groups consisting of 20 fast fireships and 10 cannon galleons each and sent them to secure either side of the landing zone, the easter are of Seleukos' city. The navy was far more powerful than needed, and little opposition was met, nevertheless the cannon galleons proved to be as useful as always against land targets. The landing force consisted of Paladins, Elite Throwing Axemen and Halberdiers, aswell as several ongaers and rams. Once again little opposition was met and defenses were quickly overwhelmed. Perhaps a combined effect from Seleukos' inexperience with the Goth's, their lack of substantial defences and the earliness of the attack.
Saitou was now left with the ruins of Seleuko's city, and an ever formidable, yet idle army. He gathered his forces and struck forward at Pysethus, who was also overwhelmed suprisingly quickly, possibly due to the fact that he was preoccupied in Turkey.
Pysethus had established himself well in Turkey, and with his main city gone, was already rebuilding his economy at alarming speed. Upon the completion of Pysethus' conquest of Turkey, he and Saitou formed an alliance and declared allied victory, neither having the energy to face each other.
Thus, the two civilisations lived happily ever after in perfect harmony, and so modern greece and turkey was formed. And thanks to the gallant efforts of these founding fathers, Greece and Turkey continue to live in bliss, with absolutely no squabbles whatsoever with each other... ever.

Age of Empires II - Sunday 13/05/07 results
The game started with a swift economic build-up by all teams. Seleukos and Hajime formed an alliance and conducted destructive raiding parties against lakupotko and Päränoid. As the game progressed the alliance advanced on two fronts, first destroy the kingdom of lakupotko and then that of paranoid.
Meanwhile the as of yet peaceful empire of Queen Harpus attacked the Empire of Pysethus with a mighty army of war elephants, and achieved unprecedented success, breaking through the defences and ravaging the countryside. The success of Harpus brought an end to her trading alliance with Seleukos and Hajime, and the suggestions of friendship shown between these factions in naval battles against Pysethus were forgotten as the alliance proceeded to obtain naval supremacy.
As Harpus withdrew from the lands of Pysethus, the ever persistent empire began to rebuild at an alarming speed but eventually destroyed despite resistance as the battle hardened armies of Hajime advanced from the west.
The Empire of Harpus sensed doom was nigh, and launched a surprise attack at Seleukos' garrison in the lands of lakupotko, and continued to stampede into Seleukos' mainland achieving
some success, but was defeated as Hajime's reinforcements arrived and as Seleukos mobilised his forces.
Meanwhile Hajime attacked Harpus from the north, meeting little resistance. The game ended with the destruction of Harpus' last elephant and cavalry brigade and the fall of their castles.
