  • A Question of Separate Ground and Naval Actions

    We have gotten so efficient at this polling business that it doesn't take a week to decide what to do each time. It is obvious that we have agreed to attack the Indians next and leave the Babs and Carths for last.

    Yet many comments have also recognized that we can can begin to reduce the defenders in some Bab and Carth coastal cities because our Ironclads are just sitting around with nothing to do while we attack the Indian non-coastal cities.

    It will take some moves to get our Ironclad fleet in position to attack the Bab and Carth coastal cities, but I am asking for permission to begin the assault on them before the assault on the inland Indian cities is completed.

    My idea is to empty the Bab/Carth coastal cities of defenders and force them to send inland units to the defense of those cities, where we will kill them as well.

    This will not be to take the coastal cities of the Babs/Carths immediately, just to drain those civs of as many defenders as possible while we attack the Indians on the ground.

    May I do that during the next session? And may I conduct the next session Thursday?

            We are only killing land units by sea, not occupying the cities. So there is nothing to defend.

                  OK with coastal bombing.

                    If we have the units, why not use them

                    It might also make bribing cheaper if the AI has to start buying units

                      While I'm all for some random terrorizing of our enemies I do think there's no point in risking units when we can't exploit any successes. I think we should only attack units we are sure woun't destroy the 'clads until we have time and army-units to exploit the navys hard work.

                        Random terrorizing of enemies is a goal in itself. Go for it!
                        Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

                            Empty the Babylonian cities! They will rush build new defenders. This will sap their treasury, causing them to raise the tax rate - which in turn delays their discovery of gunpowder.

                            The Carthaginians are still in the stone age. We should also empty their coastal cities of oppressors, but the majority of our ironclads should busy themselves with the Babylonians.

                            intelligence to few.

                              Let's continue the ground offensive against the Indians, hit the Carthaginians and maybe the Babylonians with Ironclads, and take no cities EXCEPT Carthage.
