Err... have you looked at the save recently? Asgard and Trondheim both have one (plus Bergen and Warrior's Luck after the recent turnchat), and our major cities are building them first thing after founding now.

archers , okay , but the are an offensive unit , .... what to do about defense , .....
We're definitely skimping on spears right now. That's because Uber requested 6 archers for the first stack, and the Ottoman peace treaty is coming up for renegotiation soon, so we can attack basically at our leisure (unless the Ottos want to renegotiate the peace treaty for some reason, in which case we'll have to attack early, even earlier than we'll want). Once we have 6 or 7 Archers produced, there'll be some more spears, don't worry.

We already have 3 spears, and so I felt we should go pure Archer for this chat. As I said, there should be some spears in the next set of turns.

just a suggestion....is it possible mount a diversion that would lure the computer's forces to another city before we strike our first target?
...such as threatening one of their newer cities with a unit or two and hope they respond??
Might work if it was several turns before the main force. However, I'm not sure we'd want to start the war early for a ruse like that; the sooner we do, the sooner the AI switches to military production and starts poprushing. But this is the SMC's field, not mine; I'm not a very good general.

hi ,
, could work , it would ( if i succeeds ) put us at better seat at the negociations , .....
aften it does help to retreat your troops from tour main cities and do a classical pincer movement , ...

have a nice day
I agree on the diversion, my vote is 2 archers if we can put 6-8 on the main attack, but a pincer movement? By that do you mean we split our forces on 2 cities, and have the survivors of the two attacks go after a major city? We don't have the troops. There's nothing wrong with giving them a black eye, then 20 turns later having a major war. We have 300-400 turns left.

hi ,
pincer is one solution , going two ways can also create some havock , the AI does count a classical military move , just go around and knock on the backdoor , ....
those two archers should have a spear with them , why , well to hold grounds as long as possible , .....
well, the diversion doesn't really have to hold ground for very long. If it does succeed in drawing enemy units away from our real target, or if the comp simply ignores them and heads for our cities, they can run back to our cities as garrisons.
Or perhaps we can even send an archer or two early to their cities in the back (and hold them in position outside the border while our main force assembles before declaring war) to either distract or cut roads, etc...
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.

hi ,
normally the AI goes for a diversion , he has to react , .....
on deity the ai send for example 20 troops to get rid of one simple foot unit , .....
why , because the AI tend to get all its units at a couple places when in war and use them at only a couple places , .....
this results in a great force at the battlefield , but the cities behind are often guarded by draftees or a couple units , ...... a deadly mistake in anyone who takes this to his or her advantage , ....
, ..... a barracks would be nice , ....
