External Consul - Bertie
Deputy External Consul - Nobody
Duties of the External Consulate:
Oversees planning of policy regarding other nations. This includes military objectives, declarations of war, peace treaties, alliances, rights of passage, and mutual protection pacts. Authorizes building of embassies, diplomatic missions, and espionage missions. Authorizes trade embargoes.
External Consulate Policy for Term 3
Our Guiding Philosophy
Our long term strategy is to annex enough of the pangaea so that our territory is just below the domination limit. We expect we will at least annex most of the land up to and including the point where the Persian city Gordium currently stands.
We will seek to cripple the ability of all other Civilizations to win the game before we achieve our cultural goal of 130,000 points. This also means we cannot allow another Civ to reach 65,000 cultural points.
Long Term Foreign Affairs
1. We are now strong enough that we will not submit to any demands from another country.
2. We encourage warfare and disharmony among our rivals. Such disharmony will be achieved through trade and alliances.
3. We will not enter into alliances, trades, or GPT deals with countries we think we will be at war with within 20 turns.
4. Once we establish a choke point at Gem Mountain we will consider entering into ROPs with other civs.
5. Portugal (and the Pyramids) are a target for annexation.
6. France is a target for annexation.
7. Spain is a target for annexation.
8. Persia (& its Great Library) is a target for annexation.
9. China (or its remains) is a target for annexation.
10. Our policy is whenever possible any civ that has attacked us should be left with one city. Currently France, Persia, Byzantine, Spain, Portugal, and Japan fall into this category. However, we well may elect to eliminate some of those civs from the map.
11. Once weve established a chokepoint at Gem Mountain, we will demand that any wandering troops from another civ must leave our territory on our home continent. (Our home continent is all land west of Gem Mountain.) If not, we will declare war.
12. We will attack and destroy any city that is building the Smiths Great Wonder. This wonder is to be ours.
Military Affairs
1. We will soon make war with the Dutch and annex their remaining territory.
2. We have delayed war with China. Instead well form a ROP with them so our troops can take the 3 former Chinese cities held by the French.
3. France has declared war on us. We will continue the war and seek MAs against them.
4. The Byzantines have declared war on us. We have formed alliances against them, which expired; and will form additional ones. We expect this to be a phony war.
5. The Spanish have declared war on us. We will take their cities of Murcia and Valencia.
6. Portugal has declared war on us. We intend to annex Portugal, but will make peace with them to save Shanghai and to form a MA with them against France.
7. The Great Library (held by the Persians) is a military target for us.
