On the other continent everyone is at war with Egypt.
There is a Korean caravel approaching the northern tip of the home island. We are committed to long term peace with Arabia. They are the strongest oppenent against Egpyt and also the furtheset away from us with the exception of the city in our NE corner. If necessary we could use the leave or declare the next time his troops cross our border, but Abu is contributing handsomely to our budget. The only other long term commitment we have is the trade of gmes for tech with France.
The nearest source of oil is in Egyptian territory south of Giza at the northern end of Egyptian territory across the strait from Wonsan. As soon as Korea is kicked off the island I would make peace, and then devote 100% of our strength to claiming the oil in Egypt. I did find one other source of oil in Franch territory in th middle of the continent.
The tempo of the war with Korea has been deliberate and deliberately so. Our casualties have been few and the kill ratio high.
We have at least six cities at +50spt and Rome is at 90spt, so we are getting six units every two turns.
There may be a way to manage the population of Cumae to produce an army in less than 7 but I haven't found it.
