Minister of War Election Poll and Campaigning Area

[Ben Kenobi]

Right now we're in trouble with the Celts, threatening an outpost that we don't have sufficient defence.

I say we should bribe one of the calvary threatening, which we should be able to do if we retreat from Kazan.

This will give us 2 calvary defending our outpost which should be sufficient until we can rebuild the riflemen defenses.

As for later game, concerning the space ship, we'll have to see how far along they are, and how close they are to us.

I would approve a 'pre-emptive' strike if favoured by the people, as I am quite good with howitzer assaults combined with diplo guiding.

why not build alpine troops?

[CannonFodder]

Good question. Alpine troops would probably be a better choice, but I have yet to see the save so I can't say for sure. I wouldn't mind mech. infantry, but we aren't there yet. Alpine troops might be the way to go, since we seem in need of better defense, and cavalry tends to wipe out riflemen pretty easily.

[Ben Kenobi]

The difference is the expense.
10 shields can be critical when we need defense now. When we get some more breathing room, then is the time to upgrade our defense in our vunerable cities.

For now, the riflemen behind city walls in Naples should be sufficient.

2 good candidates, 1 tight race (tie at the time of this post)
