From Round 7 onwards, the HIGHER SCORING of the two battle winners from the previous round gets awarded INITIATIVE.
This gives him three battle options:
1. Go with the usual random province & Pot Luck battle selection.
2. Attack an empty province (he picks an appropriate army for the location and the game will pick a Pot Luck opponent) -- his opponent for this round will defend (Winner of the battle wins the province)
3. Attack any province held by his opponent for this round (he picks an appropriate army for the location and the game will pick a Pot Luck opponent) -- his opponent for this round will defend (Winner of the battle wins or retains control of the province)
The other battle remains a normal POT LUCK random draw battle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So @Nelson1812 gets to pick one of the three options above -- @Rico will defend as his opponent for this round.
@Nelson1812 's RED Empire captures LOWER EGYPT from YELLOW with a +29% Victory -- good game, sir -- couldn't come back after that first thrashing victory over my Nomads.
The RED Empire is now starting to dominate the Bronze Age Near East.
