Todo:
- start chopping with worker in forest near Xian
- move worker near Dongjing on forest to chop (not sure which forest)
- move worker near Tassagrad on silk forest to chop
- continue scouting along northern coast
- continue military/scout movements south
- move axe into Dongjing
- whip worker in Dongjing
- whip Library in Beijing
- set research to Calendar

Things to decide:
- what to build in Xian?
Closest options are granary, worker and settler. Since Dongjing is building an extra settler and we need to expand, my vote goes for settler here.

- what to build in Tassagrad?
It is currently growing back to 3 citizens, so it's better to put something not stopping the growth, which could be missionary, while all the chops are set up to be for something stopping growth, like settler or worker.

- what do we do with Vox?
Help, keep neutral (in actions) or attack (here one needs to check the late defeat of GS by Vox)?

[Kataphraktoi]

Stay neutral in actions and unite our chukonus somewhere north\west of vox border.(we will then decide what to do later when the situation is clear)

[PJayTycy]

For now, just stay neutral with Vox, but be carefull. Don't move stray units around...

We need our chucks to move around in one or two stacks. Remember they have horse archers and have the road benefits, so they can probably pick out and attack any unit just outside their culture border.

[Kataphraktoi]

I dont know who ordered our units dispersed on their march south, but i think its good Its good for LOS and they are not truly under immiment threat of attack anyway

[binTravkin]

You were the first proponent to disperse.

Dispersion is good as long as it doesn't delay on their march south - chuks should only disperse as much as to have the shortest path south available at least by diagonal.

[Kataphraktoi]

Well then a hearty

[Impaler[WrG]]

What I don't like is that were dispersed in the north-south axis, though thats the result of healing after the battle of Splitsville and the fact some units hadn't reched the area yet.

We need to very soon decide on a goal for this head-long rush. I see several possibilities.

THE WALL - move towards the 3 tiles that allow us to fully block the way north and camp them.

TO MOSCOW - move towards the anticipated site of the Vox Horse city either for purposes of attacking or defending it. Some units are considerably farther and some time would be needed to consolidate the unit.

TO THE VOICE - move directly southward aiming for the Vox capitol, if we grouped our forces into two stacks they could consolidate quickly without losing much time.

TO STORM - move through the Western pass and beeline for Storms northern cities in an attempt to take them by surprise.

[PJayTycy]

Not to storm. We would give Vox too much freedom to move troops north.

[binTravkin]

I think it all breaks down to what we can see during the next few turns with our scout and with that chuck, who will see Moscow from a hill in 2 turns.

[Kataphraktoi]

Yeah, we need to wait for info

[N35t0r]

ETA on war-weariness?

We might want to help GS before that kicks in...

[binTravkin]

You're damn right, we'll get weariness if we don't end that war soon.!

[Lacero]

well remembered

[N35t0r]

It'll still be a long time, I think, but it might be worthwhile to talk to GS and ask them if they're having to deal with WW yet, and offering to help.

[Kataphraktoi]

War weariness builds up from specific actions, not time, i thought.
