I have MTW2 and at present playing the English,i control the whole of Gt Britain,most of France(they are about to be removed),I have landed in North Africa with a few thousand troops and attendant Priests!Spain looks a likely candidate for invasion as they refused my Diplomatic Mission!
You're right that arrogance should be punished, but I would focus all my energy against the Turks and Egyptians or maybe the Pope because they are the greater evils.
In my game, the happy happy times of the Mayans are coming to an end as Spanish armies mass on our border.
The weather is often rainy in the rain forest (wow huh) so here are my jaguars scrapping on a very wet hillside, wet with both rain and blood, maybe even some sweat.
I managed to cobble together 3 armies to have a staredown with the Spaniards before the inevitable war but the backstabbing English came out of the south in a suprise attack on my one and only village which had almost no defense cause I was juggling units around to make armies. The English did a 2 pronged attack with massed musketeers, pikemen, armored swordsmen and lancers which only attacked after a long cannon barrage taking down our palisade and setting the town on fire to soften up our few defenders. They attacked in a heavy downpour at night to maximize the atmosphere of gloom and doom. Here is the aftermath with the English next to our pyramid and standing on the carnage of the final scene of fighting.
I moved an army out from the eastern coast to counterattack. It is lead by the emperor's son and has all the hardened veterans from the happy happy conquering army but it is a little depleted from the many fights and the teenager leader has no experience in combat. My troops will be outnumbered by the English and shredded by their firepower. But we must put in an attack.
