Spare the Lash, Spoil the Horse

[Jeffrey H.]

My ill advised bet is the only downnote to a fine 3rd place finish.

[Jeffrey H.]

I go into the team maintenance panel, I've got roughly 1300 quatloos to help keep the team in fit racing form.

I decide to buy a horse for my 3 horse team. That cost me 1000 quatloos. Sheesh. The price of horseflesh has

really spiked in old Hispania.

I then swith the newly fixed up team with the battered and tired beasts of my best driver. Voila ! We are ready for the

next race.

[Jeffrey H.]

Hrrm, I get a hall pass for the first turn. Maybe it's time to make the poor beasts suffer.

[Jeffrey H.]

Wow, whipped is not really descriptive enough. Killed by the lash. Sniff. Goodbye to my most experienced rider.

Reduced to a grease spot on the track. Wow.....

Time for a change. Lets see if we can get out of this bad luck berg.

[Jeffrey H.]

Rats, I can't race and I can't move. I skip a race, which costs me 300 quatloos.

Yet my team is still not ready !

Que Jim Morrison....This is the end....my only friend...the end.

But wait ! I can still sell stuff.

[Jeffrey H.]

Bwahaha...... ! I can't make it work ! El_Grunteros disband !

Sounds like my first spin with the game, to be honest. I find being aggressive not overly rewarding, especially early in a race.

Well, and that northwestern part of Iberia still has to be pacified. Maybe you can find some job in that enterprise? [;)]

Yeah, I was too aggressive. Too many flipped chariots. I am running another one in Syria right now and the chariots and horses are

a lot heavier. I'm finding that there is some subtlety to racing with the different factions. I am becoming addicted to the first place

trumpet tribute. I find myself walking around the house swinging my arms to the tune. My wife is beginning to give

me curious looks.
