As the new Warlord I need to decide what our military goals this term will be. I see 3 possibilities. We could stay peaceful, not concentrating at military builds, we could attack Germany or we could attack Rome. We need to decide between these 3 options.
Note: This poll is fully informational. Voting for war does NOT mean that we will declare war immediately.

I am indifferent, i don't mind whether we go to war or not.
War has it's benefits, ie domination of the contient and therefore we are in a good position to win via a domination victory, also has it's drawbacks, mainly the effect it will have on the economy which suffered quite badly to war with France
Peaceful means we should maintain our lead as the major power in the area by keeping a large force, But will also mean that the economy can grow and let us have a tech lead, at least over our continental oppentants. It's drawback is that it might allow oppentants to build their miltary so it will be harder to conquer them when it comes to invading them. It also means we may still face
challenges from Rome and Germany in the future, possible when we least expect it
Edit I got a little excited at the sound of war in the disscussion thread but i think either way is good

I also abstained, but mainly because of the options. I believe we should remain Hawkish (including building some new Military) and be prepared to go to war if the situation is appropriate.
My vote should not be considered a "don't care", but instead a vote Against all three options.

I'd say we should stay peaceful for a while, but we should also modernize and re-equip our military at the same time. We need to look through the units we have and see which ones need to be disbanded to save gold, and which ones can be upgraded so as to be ready if we decide to attack rome or germany.
That said, were the decision made to go to war my vote would be for rome over germany.

Peaceful or agressive, always be prepared to war.
If enough units are present, war may look tempting, but only if there is
something to be won of it.
So, future war against Germain may pay, against Rome less so.

We would be silly if we didn't attack Bismarck. Sooner or later we'll get at war with him, either alone or with Ceasar or alone or against Bismarck and Ceasar. We would also be silly to let Ceasar take everything that's German and give him the advantage on our continent.

I don't think the Romon-German war will go on for much longer, they are not even furious at each other!
