it's 5:30am : I would sleep but it would be pointless, Im trying to get back into my old sleep cycle so I decided to stay up the entire night and go to bed at a decent hour tomorrow, er tonight rather . hopefully I'll be able to wake up tomorrow morning.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Ha! Sounds like my life for the last two months.... Honours is hard. What worked for me was just sleeping when I could - even 2 hours in the morning made a helluva difference. If you don't need to be productive then your plan is fine - but with a tiny bit of sleep you can be reasonably productive (even if still ready to kill everyone at a moment's notice). 5:30, 4 hours ahead of me. So you're East USA?

Early evening naps are good too - 5-7 pm is perfect, then you don't have problems sleeping again after about midnight.

[Space05us]

Alaska, and yeah I can be as lazy as I want to be for another week or so. why I even bother with trying to sleep right I don't know...

[MrWhereItsAt]

Whoops, I meant WEST US...

I guess we're all young and fit enough to have weird hours for a few months at a time. Or at least I hope we can all take it...

Imagine a sleep-deprived, insane Minister of WAR.

And there goes the planet...

[Space05us]

poor MrWIA you'd go from minister of war:

to your worst nightmare, minister of peace:

[Kuciwalker]

Philly vs. Thebes... why not take both? Here's why:

We have 6 Ironclads in production. We assign 3 of them to Philly and 3 to Thebes. We have 6 free Crusaders. We assign 3 of them to Philly and 3 of them to Thebes. Still with me ? The Ironclads kill everything in the cities. The Crusaders walk in unopposed. See? Good.

[MrWhereItsAt]

The specifics of the attacks will be dealt with once the poll is done, skywalker, but that plan is a simple, good one.

Just like the one I was thinking of.



Minister of WAR, not peace.
MrWIA.

[H Tower]

i like skywalker's plan to attack both simultaneoulsy

[Kuciwalker]

It's just that to do them one at a time is overkill and wastes time.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Provided we can get the 'Clads, I have no issue with that idea. I'm going to see if I can bring in a couple more Musketeers too, to reinforce the cities once we take them.

The main debate I'd like to see here is how fast do we go? If we take Philly and Thebes quickly, should we roll on towards New York and Washington? And I think once Thebes is gone we can probably incite the workers of the rest of the Egyptian cities (AFAIK only Alexandria) to join us, so we need only diplomats there.

i'd like to see us move quickly on the next cities if we suffer no/light casulties in the battles for philly and thebes. lets not prolong the war any longer than we have to.

The workers demand we free the slaves of Egypt and America as fast as possible!

[Zedd]

I lnow i am a bit behind here but how many cites do the egyptions have? I know we have yet to discover all the american cities so is it certain that egypt consists of only three cities? Also they seem well connected by roads so we could let the 'clads take out the city Thebes and move in some troops for defence, while using the good old blitz manouver on the remaining three cities. That would give us lots of cities with which we could mass produce units needed to kick some american tail.

I thought that this may be a possibility but i acctually like the idea of hitting philadelphia and Thebes at the same time much more.

[H Tower]

i thought egypt was down to two cities now.

[cavebear]

According to our Embassy, they have 5 cities. We can see 3, but do not know where Pi-Ramesses or Giza are.

[atawa]

Taking out the whole of Egypt takes too long, send 2 clads down to Thebes and the remaining forces for a simultanious attack on Whashington and Philly.
6 clads total should do the trick.
