T2 External Consulate - Peace with India?
We have captured two Indian cities and have razed a third. The objectives of the External Consulate have been met. We have secured the Iron near Bentley, we have secured a source of silks, we have a stack of troops ready to smite the Dutch and India will give us 2 cities plus change for peace.
Should we take the peace deal?
IMHO we should.
1. Continuing to the destruction of India means we cannot get anything for free in a peace deal.
2. The added time it would take to continue the war will mean a more powerful Dutch nation at the time of declaration. The Dutch will also be closer to Feudalism.
3. The Dutch are currently at war with the Chinese, so their troops are not home. Delay could see a peace deal and all of their troops returning home.
4. The Indian war was all about preparation for the Dutch war anyway.
