Minister of Defense Report

Lins is ours! As i have been saying for a long time. That was the point we should cpnsider stopping the War. After all, despite being a major addition to our empire it has dramatically lowered our defenses. We had a loss of 12 units. And obviously we have extended our empir size with a city that has a difficulty of reaching. So we may have to decide more war and prepare another attack or make a cease -fire. I recommend decrease the number of units to be built in the East region of our empire. That side is already very well protected. And is hard to actually help in the Austrian war. So we should make a region of prosperity!

Unfortunetly due to the delay of this thread there is no time for polls.

Note: I abstain every MoD poll.

Movement Plan

Plan for Explorer warriors
- Bait shall move to english territory. Depending on the people in the chat Bait can go SW toward the unexplored areas at north of German city of Nuremberg and the West to the areas near the english city of Llandow. Or go direct to the areas near Llandow.
- goodsight. Thats trick I wish i had time for a poll. So we may want to decide to do with him in the chat but my call is to send him back to explorer lands near our empire. Therefore doing a move like SW, SW, W, W, then north until all land near Linz is explored.

Plans for military units
Turn 1 - Send 5 units from Graz to Kill the Austrian samurai (3 H, 2 A). Units from H Town shall reinforce the units at Graz since there will be only three units in it. I recomend send other 3 units.
Send 4 units from Lins to the barbarian unit then these units will go along the river until sighting the city of Pilsen. Send an archer along the river at the east side to explore those units. This leaves 4 units (3H, 1A) in Linz which i think wont be a problem. But in a few turns the archer will be back (I dont expect the river to be too big or going further than the river) and in three turns an archer will be built.
All those new armies will be named after a name i havent decide yet.

turn 2+ - Return the wounded Hoplite to Graz and send the others. along the river checking out possible threats. Then move all according the to what i said in the previous turn.

East Side

Well in the West we can see two units, an Barbarian Archer and an Austrian Samurai. IIRC there is also an Austrian Archer. The Austrians must be killed. The Barbrian Archer shall be killed.

Once the Autrians are gone over the Jordan, we can explore the the region as illustrated on the screenshot, of course by using a better move path. Last turn chat we called the warrior Kamikaze as he should have suicided in Wien, but as we don't have the troops right now we canceled the suicide mission. Well exploring near Austrain territory is still a suicide mission, so I suggest to keep the name.

For all the defence armies I say keep them as they are, just move them out if we need to kill some Barbs. So that we can reinforce them, first.

Expelling all German settlers we see near MP is a good idea, so we can prevent the Germans from building a city at our South flank.

Goodsight can be moved somewhere in the South further.

Bait is not in English territory he is in Celtic territory our next goal is to move im to English territory as we made a withdraw treaty with the Celts. My suggestion is to move him South, South-West and South-West and then we see and he is in English territory.

My suggestion: recon the city SW of Linz, take it now if it's easy to do. Send a task force to destroy the 2 size-1 cities in the north ASAP: it will greatly reduce the power and income of the Austrians at little to no cost for us (since they're such crap cities I doubt we'll ever get anything good out of them ourselves). Build up forces and prepare for a major strike on Wien (~30 units, but suicide well in advance (5-10 turns) to see if more are needed). Finish off the Austrians while they're down and go to a more peaceful mode only once they're eliminated.

Updated a movement plan! And add some stuff to the report. Waiting feedback.
