Hey, looks good! I still check up on the game occasionally. My college classes are a wee bit too demanding to allow me to participate in the planning and such, but hey, I just wanna say: great job vs. the bananas!

Thanks, Zeiter

Impaler, you think they will fight long enough for us to have chance at bringing in more forces?
That would require our settler spam to be done, some courthouses and road south towards the gates being built.

My thinking was more along the lines of helping Vox defense so much that they can get some space to breathe and become stronger. I think combined forces of us and Vox would reverse the situation - we would be the besiegers and with Vox horse archers at hand could be pillaging the hell out of GS (since their strenght lies in fp cottages).

As I said only if GS is leaving its cities undefended could our forces alone cause some major hurt (burning one or more cities), we would likely have to sacrifice much of the force to do it but Storm would be crippled and Vox could then hold them down until we create another army.

The defensive scenario is more reliable in the sense we can defiantly make Vox un-unconquerable freeing their army and a portion of ours to turn the tide and go on a pillaging rampage.

Without more intel I cant really predict how much longer their war would take if they were left alone. Vox's productivity is in the dirt but their forces are decent and we know GS just suffered a defeat so Vox likely gained experience and will be even stronger. As is now our current army can 'interfere' at will before the war is over but if it holds back the war could be over in say ~20 more turns. I think we should start looking at the construction of a trans-continental road to both consolidate our control of all lands north of the mountain gates and to make it possible to reinforce our army. This would be a prudent use of our workers even if we don't interfere in the GS/Vox war. The soonest worker/escort combo that we can produce in the east should be tasked with this. Experience clearly shows ROADS LEAD TO VICTORY!


Seeing that our tech rate has surpassed Storms and their struggling in this war their value as allies is waining. Their Philosophy research line is of no interest to us and were not going to have much else to trade after that as our Navel research line will be undesirable to them. We will also be establishing contact with the other continent soon which will begin the end phase of the game and possibly open new trade opportunities.

cIV heavily favours the defenders, i imagine vox can hold for a relatively long, long time. GS military\econ advantage is enough to grind them down eventually, However this is the worst case scenario for an attack....

Chukonu deal collateral damage. We can probably take any one city even if it is defended(although i havnt checked the combat percentages yet). There would be every reason to imagine GS forces are more towards vox, and our map shows we can move almost straight south into GS cap
