No : the fortress will be probably manned when we'll go nearer. If it is empty, OK for debarking ground troops, to test cartaginians defense.
Oea has propably many units, and a ground attack will destroy the city by decreasing population by each blow !

Then, next week, we can consider using the Ironclads to kill off the defenders in the coastal cities, forcing the Babs and Carths to move defenders from inland to defend the coastal cities. That should make the later ground assaults that much easier. We won't be taking the coastal cities, just keeping them defenseless and using up the enemies military assets (poor as they may be).

We can easily carry on a coastal war against the Babs and Carths while making a ground/Diplomat assualt against India. Just not this upcoming session, I guess.

We can send most our fleet to chartage emptying out city's, as AI runs out of them it will start buying them, this making bribing cheaper

I suggest we just bombard the coastline untill they run out of money to buy units or a palace.

Then send in a wave of Cavalry witch will take most city's, with their cap gone its easy to bribe the remaining city's the next turn
