Foreign Affairs I

[McMeadows]

Senators,

The thirst for blood seems to be huge. After the annilation of the Celts, the Macedonians aren't expected to last very long either.

Carthage and Persia are inefficient options as it requires travel over sea, and peace will be maintained with them. Egypt is hardly worth mentioning as they seem to be gone soon enough.

The Goths and Scynthians are "available". Take your pick.

emperor Maximus Meadae II saluts you all

Persia.

Or, actually, I was thinking that the Egytian cities on the Nile would be VERY helpful in gaining the required 50% population goal for a domination victory.

[McMeadows]

agree on the Egyptian cities...
But we'd have to hurry then. Both Persia and Carthage are slaughtering Egypt.

[Donegeal]

Then we just go after whoever takes the Nile cities.

[roadcage]

I voted for Goths, but we really have the capability do do both at once.

[ormuzd]

Scythes are too far away
Raising or capturing persian cities will decrease their population and this will ease our task for the victory.

It's true we can't attack Persia unless we have destroyed Macedonians. While we are waiting we could destroy the Goths. But I think we have right of passage agreement with them

[joncnunn]

We do have a RoP with the Goths. And they have a large number of Tectonic Warriors headed thru our territory on the way to attack the Macedonias.

So while the Goths are next, we should wait to actually attack them until Macedonia is no more. (If Macedonia is wiped out before the MA with the Goths against them runs out, our rep will be so bad it won't matter about RoP raping)

On Egypt, we might have active deals with Egypt. We certinatley shouldn't form any new ones with them since they might not last a full twenty turns even if we don't attack them.

Easyist way to take Egypt is to cash rush barracks down there and then the miltary units needed down there.

[roadcage]

The Scyths are not far away. Once Macedon is crushed we will have borders with the Scyths.

And since this poll implies that whomever is selected would be next after Macedon, the Scyths are certainly contenders for this honor.

[Addled Platypus]

Why not just keep the Goths as allies for rest of the game?
Do they have anything we need other than some ugly looking territory?

can we say fodder...

hehe

poor old Goths
