What about Vox?

[Arrian]

I think that in a difficult situation such as this, it behooves us to leave no stone unturned.

Lego has a pact with ND that restricts them from intervening on Bob, so they won't be help us anytime soon (or at all, probably).

But what about Vox? Sure, they may not be inclined to help us, but we might be able to make it worth their while.

Does it cost us anything to discuss with them the possibility of them landing troops to support a GS/RP counterattack (not for a while, obviously, but in 20-40 turns... a landing up on the NW part of Bob, near GoW's core).

Is it far-fetched? Hell yeah, it is. Is it IMPOSSIBLE? No. Therefore, let's not discard it outright.

At least should we contact Vox, e.g. to find out what they are researching, and when they will finish. Seeing them actively involved in this war? don't know about that...

As to Lego intervening: if they do, it can only be against us. but we have over 15 turns time before they can safely reach Stormia. If they decide to attack Bob, we would have fun

Hey, I'm just looking at all possibilities here.

Immortals + Pikes could do some damage. That's all I'm saying...

Maybe we should get RP to try and get them involved?

[Octavian X]

Sure, it's a long shot. It never hurts to ask if Beta wants a piece of the action.

[asleepathewheel]

maybe we could get them to take little bob? that wouldn't take much presumably, Vox would get a pair of cities, and GoW would be possibly expecting a raid from the NorthWest.

[DeepO]

I was thinking about that too, asleep. However, if Vox does it too fast, GoW will send some riders to their home turf, which they can't easily defend. If they're too slow, we would be better to invade little Bob, as it will bring us closer to the domination limit...

I don't think the domination limit is much of an immediate concern - we will be invading Lego or Vox before we come to that point, and we still have to conquer the whole of Bob, which is by no means a foregone conclusion.

I'd like to see Vox go for little Bob, but I really don't think Lego is going to let them do that, and I'm not sure they can do it without permission from Lego.
