Well I think that we must start building our military now! We can win a war with Austria but only if we start turning out warriors from our soon to be 2 cities now.

No we can't. Or at least, if we do, it'll mean no buildings, no spare resources for anything else, no growth, no science

Not to mention the fact that other civs expand far quicker than we do so it won't long before there is nowhere to settle.

All the more reason for getting settlers done quickly!

We not only need units to attack but also defend ourselves. We are next to two powerful civs and the barbs are coming so we need units to scout out, look for goodie huts and defend. Then once we have enough, attack Austria.

I have no disagreement there. I stated in my first post, my first act will be to secure our defenses. We need warriors escorting our settler, we need hoplites in cities. We dont have the time to defend and attack.

Seems IW would be an MoD who doesn't believe in building any units.... even for Defense.

Seems Turambar would be an MoD who can't read their opposition's posts properly....

I convinced that warmongering won't help us - I'm for a peaceful build up of our nation and an attack when we are ready - that won't be before about a hundred turns. So IW, you have my vote.

The Donkeys are an integral part of the Apolymurians People's Party creation process (read the appropriate thread).

no our man is losing by a single vote...

Quick, where's Oerdin????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tamerlin]

Fellow Apolymurians, the wise leaders of the Apolymurian People's Party are calling you to vote for peace. Peace now will allow us to build more cities and build the defense forces that will be the cornerstone of the powerful army that will lead us to victory.

Peace, my friends, peace...

Listen to the fiery tales of the warmongers and our fledgeling nation will be crushed under the sandals of our enfuriated neighbours.

Vote Immortal Wombat, the Harbinger of Peace.

There is simply no point wasting the early game building offensive units when we need to get a tech lead and a solid empire.

We are not wasting resources we investing in new cities conquered by force!

I will set up exploratory patrols to get to as many goodie huts as possible, meet the other civs, and trade techs.

Now that we are way gone turn 20, Goody huts will mostly bring us barbarians and we are so insignificant that new civs wont be any help for us

...we are so insignificant that new civs wont be any help for us

we are so insignificant because we have to long listened to the plans of the warmongers
