We are in an interesting situation right now.
On the one hand we have plans to defeat RP with ND. On the other hand we need to take care of GS if Vox is unable to.
RP has lately shown interest in involving itself in the war with GS. Their MPP with us has made them feel safe (apparently) from an ND attack and obviously know that GS is a team that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible.
RP's involvement in the GS can serve 2 ends: 1) it will divert forces from their homeland 2) it will contribute to hurting GS.
Our latest map shows that there is a 3-tile space between the coastlines of Estonia and Southern Bob, just a few spaces from Madrid. That makes RP able to ferry troops quickly to GS if need be. According to what I've been told by RP, they have 1 galley and will finish another in 2 turns. Those are 4 units which can be ferried rather quickly considering the proximity.
We are 4 turns from being able to trade Feudalism. RP will of course want it, and we have no reason not to give it (although if anyone has any ideas...). They can send some Med Infs which would be pretty sweet.
Once we get Chivalry however, our warmongering plans will go full swing. That is the moment to strike at RP, not a moment too soon or too late.
So, my idea is:
- Get RP to commit to war with GS. As long as they send a constant stream of units, the better.
- Get Chivalry, attack.
My problems:
- How to keep us committing as little as possible as we hoard units for the Rider upgrade?
- How to not necessarily damage our rep with GS? Can we claim those horsemen were mercenaries? We can also said we wanted to lure them into making a major public protest which they didn't do.
I still wonder why RP insists we do this together. The MPP covers our backs pretty sweet, if anything they should be doing some heavy dealing with Vox which according to them they have done.
So. Ideas....lots of them...this might very well be the defining moment of the game.
