War Academy: Case Blue

[Kuciwalker]

Should we target America instead of France?

Case Blue is almost identical to Case Pink, except that America is the target. There are pluses and minuses to this:

+ Access to dyes
- Dyes are unconnected

+ Conquest may be easier, if they're in the Jungle too.
- We would gain Jungle cities

+ We might get good terrain beyond the Jungle
- Conquest would be harder, if they're not stuck in the Jungle

Discuss!

I though that case pink was more of a production and city placement plan to gain an army, whatever the target. Bottom line, though is we need more info to determine our target.

[Harovan]

As I already said elsewhere, I vote for attacking both, one after the other. However, to decide, who gets the first beating, we need to know more of the map. If America has no good land and is also stuck in the jungle, it's probably better to attack the French first.

+ french cities near montain range possible strategic resources

Q will we have discovered iron working by proposed d-day?

if yes and those mountains contain iron, i would say attack french.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

As we're researching it now, I think we'll discover it. (D-day is over 50 turns away. Currently, IW time is 40 turns.)

As it's a production plan, we could easily modify Case Pink to use against the Yankees. The problem is, what would we gain (dyes aside)?

Really, we would need to explore some more to make a better decision.

[GodKing]

Explore. Need info to make the decision. Once we have one beaten, we probably will have several good offensive units with little to do but kill the other one.

[beno]

Just to stick in the oar on behalf of myself and the other relatively uninformed 'men in the jungle', I say "The French must die ... err ....first."

[Switch]

I say the French, because Iron is much more important than Dyes. Plus, once we get6 Iron, we would then be able to more easily attack the Yankees.

[Sheik]

We should go after the French then the Americans. SwitchMoO is right, which would you rather have, iron or dyes?

[OPD]

who would you rather fight people with Iron swords or people with colourful clothing.

[beno]

doesn't matter if they've got swords if you stick enough arrows in 'em

[OPD]

Frenchies first
Hippies second

all shall perish

OPD: you sound perfect for the hawk party have u heard about it?

our immediate goal in case blue is to have a spearman in banana hq, should the worst come...

[Panag]

hi ,

we could wait , sooner then later they are going to go to war , and then step in to finish it , ...

we could work with one of those species , and then turn on the other , when our goals are met , ....

we could look for an other species , and work with that one to "civilize" those others , ....

have a nice day

[Theseus]

Didn't Trade point out that the French have connected wine?

So, iron and wine vs dye... not much to think about there.
