Sommers,
Can you give us a some intel about Sirius forces in and around those two form er mav cities next to our home island? We have been in a naval cat and mouse with them and i'm trying to cut off and kill their fleet.
Techwise what are you guys going after? We will have scientific method in 4 turns but I noticed Sirius has that now... can you get that from them before you DoW? Would save us both some beakers. Also, do you know if CDZ is seriously going after combustion? Destroyers are going to be huge. If we can get them first and wipe out the Sirius wooden ships it will gets us way ahead in the naval race.

Hey cav,
Sure, Sirius has a medium sized invasion force in those two cities IIRC about 15 units each. The stacks are all advanced with equal amounts of Cavalry, Rifles, and Cannon. I would avoid chasing Sirius Navy around as they have Navigation II ships courtesy of CDZ, so you can't catch them.
Instead, put your invasion force together and Land on their home island where their defenses are weak. That way, you force them to engage you rather than chasing them around fruitlessly while they get better and more ships.
As far as tech goes we will try to get Sci Meth but I think Sirius is suspicious of what we are doing next. That is a big part of why they did not invade your home island. When they DoWed you, our turnplayer rushed all our Cavalry from Marthaton to the center of Starland to assist you if needed. Anyway, when I get home I will doublecheck that info you wanted as well as offer Economics to you.
Don't overestimate the value of Destroyers, remember, you need Oil to make those, and if this map hold true to past patterns, I suspect that Oil will be scarce and easy to control.
