War Academy:English objectives

[roadcage]

What is our real goal with England. Once again (like Germany) our objectives are best dscribed in terms of economic warfare.

We want: To expand the enlightenment of the banana to a wider sphere around our FP in contaginon.

We want: The LAND

I believe that these objectives require liberating Oxford, liberating the first layer of the English onion, and sacking the next layer including London.

The City Planning department should advise as to which cities are kept, and which ones are razed.

comments appreciated

I think our objective in an English war should be to annex all of the main English land.

Leave them with that one city in the general area near one or two Persian cities intermingled near the German Aztec border in exchange for all her techs and as much GPT as possible for 20 turns.

True, joncnunn, that is our ultimate position, but I am deliberately stating what I believe to be the minimum objectives that we need before a brokered peace treaty could be considered.

I agree that we should take the southern extent of there nation, similar to plan "TOBE". However staking and perhaps razing london would be a good place to stop. Also I know this might sound weird but I want the island to the ne too. Why you ask?. Well because that island could be a base for our bombers and other forces in the future. also roadcage you should apply to the SMC for a deputy job. I think you could be deputy of war plans.

Thanks aggie, I know that I have been active here lately, but that will not be the case for most of the next term due to RL. And I kinda like being a Gadfly!

I don't see the point of attacking England without taking annexing of the main land of England.

But perhaps if the war starts for that limited purpose, people will see the light once that portion is reached and we can finish the job and take all of mainland England.

Also, do the English have an unexpired Great Wonder? If so, we should capture the city for the wonder instead of razing. (Implement the ARE's program of starving that city down to size 1 or 2 if bombardment doesn't do it first.)

For Banana's sake, why Sack cities- we want expand the enlightenment of the Banana, not death and destruction- Stop the terror- let no liberated town be sacked!!!

Once the AI's have Nationalism, and they enter wartime, they tend to draft themselves into such a hugh "cruel oppression" debt that sacking the city is often the only practical outcome.

Additionally, several people have commented in other threads, that many of the English cities should be relocated for land coverage issues, which is why I asked for direction from the City Planning department.

[joncnunn]

Yes, many English cities should be relocated and some elimated entirely, but I'd prefer it be down via forming every citizen into a worker instead of just 1/2 of them.

Now if someone would just comment on the other "objectives" threads..........

[Donegeal]

Any offensives we take from now on should be for the complete destruction of the civ we attack.
