I have actually heard from the elusive dave:

Here is an excerpt....


"....as my navy held both flanks, i created a mighty army
of elephants and horse archers. i crossed the red,
landed in saudi, and drove deep, deep, deep into enemy
territory. my mission, simple. my elephants would
attack the goth king in oman. when his castle begins
to fall, send in the horse archers and kill him with a
shower of flaming arrows....VICTORY! he fell like a
bitch."
