Close to 12-stack target size. Plans of troop movements

[Locutus]

Crosspost. With Martin's reasoning, it sounds like attacking in 5-6 turns would be relatively risk-free.

If we create our 12 stack immediately south of H Town, we could have it ready in 3 turns. If we attack Graz from the Forest (+25% defensive bonus, which applies to attacking armies as well), it would take us 3 more turns before the actual assault on Graz could take place. That sure sounds like a good plan to me...

Whether it's Friday or Saturday, I can't be there before 21:30 (but that's off topic).

21:30 is ok for me too...

I think if we can swing Friday it'll be better. It will be another short in turns, long in talk game I fear... but at least we have a direction.

Graz is just *THAT* important... as is not losing other cities, or taking massive casualties... so I'm not TERRIBLY worried that the game won't progress massively. It'll get moving better the more defenders we have, since they'll be less 'juggling' of defence.

I also think its impossible to really plan the exact attack square that we'd use to attack Graz, at this point. Tactical needs will become clear in 4 turns.

Well from the poll right now about the fifth city name we won't rename it, unfortunatly the poll is still open and Pedrunn did not set a time for its closing or said when the outcome is accepted or whatever. But actual Ben didn't want his name for this city and I don't think that we should rename conquered cities, either. However the next city created by a settler will get his name.

So what the above example shows me is that a city name poll need an time to expire.

If I remeber correctly the name change from Pedrunn to Pedrunnia isn't polled, yet. As the constition states: "(e) The President is responsible for the naming of all new cities of the empire regardless of how the cities were created or assimilated. A name has to be evaluated by the citizens through an Official Poll (Article IV, Subsection 3-II) before a city is named."

So even such a small change is a new name and must be therefore evaluated.

Not really. I have decided that the name wasnt going to change. Since not only the people didnt want but the hounored too!

And as you can see in my orders for last game chat I was convinced that conquered cities shouldnt be renamed.

All i heard in the last days was that we were spending to much time in name choosing so i decide not to poll about plus the first post of that poll clearly states that we could use a variant for the name.

*coughs* can we stay on topic?

Well if you have something on topic. Actual there is some stuff that should not get a new threads like the city naming issure as Pedrunn already noted. Well actual I think the city name issure needs a little bit more care, but as it had to be done Pedrunn was in office and he thinks that everything is ok with that so I leave it as it is now. So that is everything to the past city naming, the only thing that is missing is the close of all these polls. Well that is off topic again but I think that should be all about the issure now.

For everyone else the Turn Chat is now moved out of this thread.
