Rp, 110ad

Maybe it's best that RP didn't get NM this turn. It would have gone into disorder along with the rest of their cities anyway, while we can keep it in working order.

damn... big mistake, but mistakes do happen. Indeed, let's get some more structure in the turn threads, it will make it easier to do everything right.

I think I've got a solution why it doesn't disband units, though. We're at chieftain, and last I heared you get one 'free' turn with Chieftain. The first time you go in the red, it doesn't destroy buildings nor units. Next turn, that might change...

Anyway, RP is better off in Monarchy, they will never recover from that WW. Losing 5 cities will do that for you...

Other things: we can retake the cities, none will autoraze. If a city ever was over pop 1, it won't autoraze afterwards, no matter how many times it changes hand. At least I thought so.

RP moving that stack including cats 1, attacking the ansars, might not be so bad, it depends on what is exactly in that stack. Okay, they will be in the open, but they can damage the pikes, maybe get shots at Ansars (after the pikes are pinged), and if ND wants to attack Pamplona it will force them to go around them, leaviing them in the open instead of retreating onto mountains.
Most likely, there aren't enough forces in that stack to do it, though.

We should move our knights near P, but I don't like attacking riders over a river. We might need to, though, to alliviate the tension on RP. In that case, we should move the 5 of them together, over the tile that RP currently blocks.

Near Barcelona, we should go after those riders if we can, starting to threaten the GoW forces. We can get a few units on Valencia 88, but that might be too predictable, and we would lose the slowmovers. But, if so, we can attack GoW before they have the chance to heal: a lot of their forces are hurt, we should push them further before they have time to catch their breath

Oh, and we should give Toledo to RP back, forget about the barb. It was not immediately pressured last turn, and we can attack it with a MI or so. Do I see it correctly that the camp was destroyed this turn? We might be able to catch an ND unit in the jungle...

I think its best we take our slowmovers east, towards Sal and Merida- as for the coastal towns: how 'bout landing some units (3-4 galleys, we can afford those) of Meds and Pikes, to take those back? but this is for later.

We shouldn't split our forces too much, we don't have roads down there, nor 3 movement units.

What RP has is all she wrote. Sticking them on grass adjacent to ansars is probably not too good a move, especially when they can simply sit in Pamplona fortified, with cats aiding the defence; that will be far more costly for ND than a few wounded pikes...

We do need to move sometime. But when they move it should be as part of a concerted push by us. For now, if they can hold Pamplona, that would be enough for me.
