Foreign Ministers report on the Indians 1778

The Indians are a Monarchy with 1081 gold in their treasury, they have 5 cities with Delhi the capital.

They are allied to the Babylonians and at war with us.

they have no techs that we do not have and are researching Metallurgy.

I have attached a map of India with suggested spot for the other city circled.

I recommend we crush these evil dogs once and for all.

[atawa]

Finish them off but we might want to wait untill we have railroads so we can attack with our cannons.

[cavebear]

It's safer to eliminate them first, so we don't have to defend our cities there so heavily. We can then use the freed-up units to join in the next assault (Carthage or Babylon).

[Kropotkin]

They are weak. I can't really see the point of not eliminating them. It will probably be quicker and with less cost than some poxy peace.

Why is an unguarded diplomat standing in a war zone!? Send him somewhere safe!

It's time to curry their entrails!

I'm sure the president has it all under control.

[Mr. President]

India looks like a beautiful country, nice green fields, lots of rivers. Once our brave soldier comrades liberate it, I might look into buying a summer dacha there.

The War Office suggests a wait until Cavalry (2 turns away), until we build a few more of them and diplos to take down some walls.

Minister of WAR, not peace.

Their Capital seems to be unwalled : let's attack here first, and if the capital is not changed for a walled town, let's bribe other non-coastal cities !
If they haven't gunpower, no need to wait for cavalry.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Actually the city is walled. Compare the unwalled (left) with the walled (right) in my picture.

[JCP]

From the screenshot, I saw Madras as walled, and Calcutta and Bangalore as unwalled. If Delhi is walled, the approach must be more careful :
- sabotage of the citywalls before invasion,
- or waiting for cavalry and cannons protected by a rifleman and a fortress,
- or begining with other cities...

[MrWhereItsAt]

Remember, it may have been some turns since we saw those cities last - they may all have walls.

[cavebear]

I am expecting to discover that all the Indian cities are walled by now.

That Diplomat outside Bombay is there because he can reach Madras in one turn from that spot.

I expect to hold off any attacks until our Dragoons are upgraded to Cavalry.
