Urgent Action - Vox Invades

I would prefer to keep GS out of this as this gives a legitimate reason to land on THEIR continent.

I doubt very much they would agree.

I would much rather see Vox retreat back to their own continent.
Use a joint Bob Alliance statement.
Use GS if we have to.

Once they are off, then we discuss an alliance with them to remove GS.

But this must all happen after RP is removed. I doubt our allies ND would like to get drawn into a intercontinental war. They want RP gone, and we have already agreed to help them.

Executive Summary of GS Chat

Just a quick summary of the important points wehn we chatted with GS after we found out about Vox

When I asked them to clarify what help they could give to stop Vox from invading

[22:21] Hot_Enamel[GoW]> You said you would help us out if they did anything stupid
[22:21] Shiber> no, we said we might
[22:21] Shiber> there are two possibilities:
[22:21] Shiber> 1. helping you out with money - this shouldn't be a problem, presented to the team. they would surely approve it.
[22:21] Shiber> 2. helping you out by going to war with vox - this is a totally different issue.
[22:22] Hot_Enamel[GoW]> OK -
[22:22] Shiber> we've discussed the possibility where we would sign a treaty obliging us to attack vox in case they attacked you
[22:22] Shiber> i recently posted a description of that possibility to the GS forum. it is pending discussion
[22:22] Hot_Enamel[GoW]> What is the feeling ?
[22:22] Shiber> all i can promise is that i'd do my best to promote such deals

Then I dropped the bombshell that Vox had actually invaded.

[22:23] Shiber> EEK

GF joined the chat and correctly guessed that all they were doing was fishing for information. The way their team works, it that it will take a week for them to come up with an appropriate response.

I believe they want to help, but only in a method that would benefit them. I doubt they have a military alliance with Vox, as they kept insisting if we invaded Vox, they would also invade and destroy them before we got any cities. Blah Blah Blah.

I am in no doubt that they are rubbing their hands in glee over this. They want to invade Vox and take over the full continent. But they dont want to do it with an allie, because they want to take over the FULL CONTINENT.

If there is a GoW-Vox war, they will see this as a weakening of Vox, and then they can pounce on them after we have destroyed most of their offensive.

They do not want us to invade their homeland. They kept insisting that if we did, ND would attack us. They want us to fight a navy battle, destroy any invaders, and then let them take over Vox. They want us to keep our forces on Bob in case of an ND backstab.

This is only my opinion of the situation.

I strongly suggest, that we do everything possible to ensure Vox is off our continent. Make sure they dont build the city, or we will have no choice but to attack them.

I am still not convinced that there is no Vox-GS alliance, so we need to speak carefully. We should tell Vox, that once they are off our continent, we will consider a joint action with them, against GS. We then send our riders through Vox to the GS front line. No need for a messy naval invasion.

But Vox needs to get off our continent, and then be prepared to wait until after our RP war.

Perhaps as we are drafting up our alliance agreement, we sneak in clauses that ensures they do not land any units on Bob. Once they agree, we invade RP, and it will ensure they stay out of the fight.

A navy blockade will keep GS from our continent.

We kill RP, and before our riders become obsolete, we immediately send them over to Vox, for joint action against GS.

War

Message from Borc

Vox foundet Wittlich West on Borconia (Bob).
Please sign the Treaty of 1075BC
After that we will declare War on vox in this very turn.
You should do the same and since the treaty is signed then Spain should
do the same too so that the alliance isn't a toothless tiger.
Two of our Swordsman will be on the way imediately though it'll last a
few turns to reach the front.

We wanted the treaty.
Now I feel we have to declare war or lose face to ND & RP.

Vox should not of founded that city.
It must be destroyed.
They can ship in units each turn now

Plus I am still not convinced GS is behind this a little. They could use this territory to bring in their own units.

War must be declared and Vox kicked off our continent.

That's the Veteran and Elite units, there's some Warriors running around somewhere also.

WAR!!!
To maximize the damage to Vox, I'd get a 3way agreement to wait on the attack until Vox committed a 2nd settler, if that happens in the near furture.
