Although I still want to look at some maps, it seems that America is presently is our best targe to go after first. I was wondering though if a war on France immediately after war on America. I'm not sure if this has already been discussed or not, but here is my idea:
Plan Jackal:
Yes another one of those names, and here it is in primitive form. It is my understanding that plan eagle follows a pan of attacking New York and Washington, then moving up afterwards to sweep Boston and then Philadelphia (location as of yet unknown). All the while I believe our cities will be building reinforcements.
If this is correct, and it goes well, here is my idea for Plan Jackal. First off America is completely annhilated within their valley (I don't consider pursuing them any father should they escape to be worthwhile). Now, France is to to the southwest of America and to the Northwest of Apolytonia, so I suggest leaving a small defensive occupying force in America and moving one large army to France's Northeastern border.
Now heres the part which I need to look at maps for: While the northern army is regrouping for the invasion, we declare war on them and move a small army of spearmen (mabee 3-4) and a catapault if possible into France and occupya mountain next too (if they have one) one of their southern cities.
Now, if my knowledge of AI tactics is correct France will send all of its offensive units to attack this army and will pop rush to make new units to attack them.
After France has wasted most of its offensive capabilites we send in the large Northern army and just mop them up as they travel south.
Now as of now there are three issues that need looking at as I see it:
1) I need to see the maps to see if the geography supports it, but if my memory is correct I think it shoud be fine. Minor point.
2) The French might have swordsmen by then, and I don't know if we will. If they do and we don't this plan in all probability cannot be carried out.
3) Plan Eagle is a good success and we annhiliate America with casualities. I have confidense Plan Eagle will work out fine, but there is a possiblitly of many casualties that cannot be replaced.
An alternative target could be Persia if they don't have iron or immortals. It would be tempting to knock them out early if this is the case (though I doubt it and think France is a better target at this time).
