The attached image is the battle field. We have Salamnca, however, the capital moved immediately north, causing concern for culture flipping. Salamanca has Leo's Workshop, the Pyramids, and Copernicus Observatory. This poll is to decide what to do, as the war is nearly over.

Another concern of note. Flight is out in the open, so that means the Iroquois could start building planes if the war continues.

This poll will be multi choice, and all cities will contain known resources. Below is the current battle field, showing the capital and a northern city (with furs). If we do take Niagara Falls, the next capital may be Centralia (based on city size), then Cattaraugus. The Iroquois do have 2 cities on islands, so it is possible to take their mainland territory without a reputation hit.

We could ask India to attack the last island (which means we would have to support the war - would bombarding count?)...

But, that's for another poll...
 
I think you should change the poll title, it may suggest the wrong thing to voters
o Stop now or
o Take 2 cities
Which are not the only options, even though it would be smartest to only take the first two on the list and foolhardy to do otherwise.

It's not worth assailing the island btw, nor is it worth sueing for peace in order to gain a city there.
 
Almighty, notice it says "2 or More cities"

EDIT: or did CT already change it before I entered in this comment? If so, please ignore this.
 
There is an option for not taking cities (which I assume means "sue for peace". I'm not the best when it comes to wording polls. :)
 
Conquer the mainland and 1 city on the island.Let them alone one a little island,crying and thinking about the blunder of attacking us.

Our goals should be Niagara Falls and Allegheny. The main purpose of the capture of those cities would be to prevent the loss of Salmanca, and the valuable workshop that resides there.

How about completely eradicating the Iroqouis?
They are not worth the rep hit, but they should be punished for their attack on PDX. Restrict them to the island. I think that it was a good suggestion. It's humiliating, it takes away their power, and there is no rep hit. Maybe have patrols around the island, but that might be going too far.
 
Give peace a chance. What are we really gaining, besides a nasty habit of extending past our goals and using military power to slaughter the Iroquois soldiers, many of which who were no doubt rushed by Hiawatha's cruel oppression?

We can are the only nation left fighting wars (other than who we are opposing). Lets show the world some class, make peace in the world, and finish our Space Ship.
 
I would say we should at least take 4 more cites.
Kahnawake, Niagara Falls, Alleghany and Cattaraugus.
The first 3 will give us a bufferzone around Leo's Workshop. Cattaraugus will give us furs and so we will become less dependant on imports.
Personally I say take all cites except the 2 island ones. Sue for peace and maybe get one of the island ones. Before peace though, talk the Indians and anyone else, (England as a sea-faring nation) into war against the Iroquois and let them wipe them out helping out a cultural victory.
