Arse. Let me try that again.

that's really quite sad, we ought to 'explore' that area to be certain.. it would suck if it weren't New York but rather just some roads

[atawa]

Yup voted clads off course.

Sheakespeare's theatre is in Phyladelphia right?

We should take it asap, maybe before we attack Thebes.
Once we rehome our army there we can go demo, with Thebes taken out by 1 or 2 clads we should have enough money to bribe the remaining Egyptian city's.
This way we can focus our army and navy on taking out the americans.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Great Library in NY, Shakespeare lives in Washington. This is unfortunate as it reduces Philly's desirability. And it means that the rehoming thing is difficult - taking Washington and defending it without Philly first requires more defense, IMO.

I still think Thebes should be first. Then the diplos can swarm to bribe their cities whilst we attack America.

Note to cityplanner: Can we build a city on the island east of light asap?

[Space05us]

the decrease in productivity in other cities wouldn't be worth going demo yet, not to mention the Ironclads, crusaders, and musketeers most likely far out number the amount of shields available in Philly. at last count the unit number was 16-17?

I almost forgot the most important thing. reinforcements have to cross the sea or ocean (whatever) meaning that they would have to be away from thier home city for extended periods of time. And besides who wants an army that's stuck at home because the wife says so?

[Hydey]

Don't be too worried about the walls, they are only defended with phlanxes (men with pointed stick) vet crusaders will crush through them , better if we take them out with ironclads first so crusaders can walk in without damage

[atawa]

If Skeakespearelives in washington yes, go for Thebes first.
I would suggest that if we begin our attack on the Americans we take both Philly and Washington in our opening round, this should make the americans reconsidder counterattacking us

[MrWhereItsAt]

I refer the honourable member (of the PDRA, of course) to my monster post on page 2 for where our units are and how many we have.

MrWIA.

[Space05us]

9 crusaders on the battle land, 2 musketeers ready for use , and 6 ironclads in production= 17 units max

[civman2000]

How is the ironclad 7 attack? 4+50% vet bonus=6 .

On the other hand, they have 3 times as many hp as the defenders so that'll help a ton too

[MrWhereItsAt]

Well spotted civman - thanks. It has been corrected. I was gettting a bit bug-eyed after typing all of that.

This is what I envisage in VP - check on everyone else.

Keep on correcting me where it is needed.

[Space05us]

Wow! Civman is VP MrWIA is SMC, and I'm....NOT the leader of the intellegence for AAAC.... which is, of course, just a group of communist friends who hold meetings and have secret handshakes and are gaurded 24/7 by top trained as... gaurds...

oops, I said too much... shame on me

[Space05us]

it's kinda funny how as you slowly get tired the seriousness of everything sort of slips away.

[MrWhereItsAt]

/me uses his strange psychic powers

Look into my eyes, space....



Now SLEEP!

/me relaxes, hoping space will now cease giving away secrets.
