Last stack of Cyrus grenadiers I saw on other coasts was 10 deep.
Allowing for three empty galleons for the ones already dropped off, there could be 30ish grenadiers on board.
Who else is considering a rushed anti-immmigration policy ?
Luckily ( as long as he does not declare ) I have open borders with him (and everyone else, for that matter).
Interesting tactical decision here:
If only I could be sure he is not after my ( somewhat appealing ) territory, it would hardly be against my interests if he attacks, say, Darius or Isabella in my hood.
Alternatively, if I take a safety-first decision to sink him at sea, I can then be sure there will be another incoming batch of riflemen in the not too distant future.
Or, perhaps he will then opt to head eastwards next time
Of course, by the time I have assembled a large enough fleet to sink him - if he hasn't declared by then,
perhaps someone
else is the target.
So, by the time I can, I shouldn't. . .
