Poll on Medium Term Goals

[Beta]

This is the poll suggested in the GS thread. I think the three choices reflect reasonably well the options open to us, and will help us determine the immediate question - the trade proposal from GS. I've quoted myself and jon from that thread to create the options. One day to vote.


IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHAT OUR MEDIUM TERM GOALS ARE FOR OUR CONTINENT. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DECIDE!!!!

1. If the goal is to takeover the continent, then no trades, keep stalling on exploration and other talks, and pit our Immortals and spearmen against their chariots.

2. If the goal is peaceful co-existance (and we need to ask ourself if this is possible in either the medium or long run) then yes, by all means, let's trade and trade vigorously. And let's draw a line somewhere across the continent and agree on settling rights.

3. I think we sould let it play out some. Just do stuff that keeps our options open.

Play it out some. I know you guys love the immortals, but they can have some limitations. Conquering the continent could be difficult against dirt cheap war chariots. But if we find we are being short changed by GS then by all means conquer a few cities or all their cities depending on what is feasible.

[Wittlich]

Conquering the continent sounds good...but I think it's to early for that. So I voted to keep our options open.

[Beta]

I too voted to keep our options open. Now - how do we translate that into an answer back to GS.

I will post the points which could go in a proposed response in the FA thread.

I think if we attack, we want to attack after we have an army of immotals, not before

I think we need to tell GS that our 2 southern-most warrior will pull back....speaking of which, why are they still heading south and south-west?? How long do you think GS will let us get away with this? I say we start pulling them back towards the isthmus NOW.

[Dis]

gotcha

[Beta]

Witt - concur - but not as far back as the isthmus. Just to the Sierra Centralis.

[Wittlich]

Exactly. I just used the isthmus as a general reference.

[Kuciwalker]

*sigh*

manually add +1 to "keep our options open"

I think we should, a bit later on, cut them down some.

[Wittlich]

Sky, you still are not able to vote in the polls?

[Kuciwalker]

Yep.

Still.

[Wittlich]

Sky - Your problem with not being able to vote in polls - is it only limited to our private forum, or is it Apolyton-wide? If it is Apolyton-wide, you might want to PM Markos about it...

[Kuciwalker]

It's Apolyton-wide.

I posted stuff in the help forum (or whatever it's called) a long time ago in a galaxy far away . None of the suggestions worked. I've learned to cope.

[Wittlich]

I would private message MarkG with your problem and see if he can fix it. Tell him that you've already tried posting in the help forum - but to no avail.
