I am playing as the Shoshone and we are in 1913 now. Its been a succesful game so far. I am going for a domination victory fyi. And don't care for tips related to other victories.
I've hit an impasse. Me and the celts are the two major superpowers left in the game of note and I need to declare war on them asap or I fear they will become too strong. And I need help because I am the strongest military with the most land, but they lead in most other categories. And I reckon they are 2 or 3 techs ahead of me and I fear it will only get more difficult. Here is a rundown of the situation:
-King difficulty on middle east map. i am more or less analagous to Iran geographically speaking and the celts are all over me to the north.
-portugal is my ally to my northwest and west of the celts. They are at war and portugal just wont last so I want to seize this opportunity while thtey are fighting on that front.
-when i declare war they immediately make peace even though portugal is my ally, this is main problem.
-my army is mostly rifleman, gatling guns, and cannons. But the damn celts have an airplane, and I imagine may have other more advanced units. From what i can see most of their units are similar to mine.
-this one airplane is wrecking havoc. I only have 1 or 2 turns before it goes to my army and starts eviscerating me one unit at a time.
-i could manage to take 1 or 2 immediate border cities. But its really not worth it because theyre crap cities they conquered and kept earlier in the game (shoulda been razed imo). By the time i can get to their heartland after this my army is reduced to a defensive force
I really need portugal to stay in the war but idk how to make them stay in the fight. Maybe the answer is as simple as pump out more units to makeup for the tech deficit? HELP
Edit: Celts are 3 techs ahead of me
