I'm in city states of Shang (yep, early on..what can I say, buying Emperor is near to impossible if your outside of the US!), in the rice valley episode, and since they warned me in the opening that there may be requests for troops, I built one fort as soon as I could afford the bronze for my weaponsmiths and labourers. The request took a while, but since I found the map to be a good one (easy for layout practice, not too many requests etc.) I happened to be hanging around for it anyway. I sent my only fort of troops (only one allowed, to build another it tells me I need a palace..not an option in this city), it had the full 16 fully trained troops in it, and also sent..oh shoot. forgot his name, the one Hero/God who does military stuff and will even go and fight for you. Kept him happy the entire time (exalted) and still the request from Yin failed.
Usual messages after..city destroyed, I'm a sucky city leader and I dress funny etc.
I'm only playing on normal level difficulty! This is crazy. The most troops I can have, plus a god and still no victory in battle? What was the point of even asking me?
Unless I'm doing something wrong, is this just silly city event planning or what? It has to be me. Very seldom did events happen that were impossible to fulfill in any other city games.
