Filling requests for military plans:

Spelling has never been one of my strong points. Its why I often did papers with two of my friends because we each had an eye for very different things. Like i said spelling and to a lesser extent grammer have been troubles for all my life despite great efforts. I use spellcheck but also review it with myself and have at least another person look at it because spellcheck does correct spelling, but it isn't always the right word. However the point of my litle spiel of being an editor was to explain my methods and the reasoning why my initial post pointed out what it did. You then made the point into something its not. Your hidden attack was also noted.


Now I have admited where I was wrong, and Indeed I was in some reguards. I'm not going to apologize for the attack because you yourself was quite rude.

I've admited my mistakes, nwo can you admit yours?
 
Again, time is over for skepticism, if there is no alternative plan, it is irrelevant criticism.

Time is running out, and the skepticists has indeed kept our war preparations hostage from some 10 turns. At this point, we need solutions, not more delays, anxieties and procrastination. We need a decision, and a plan.
We can of course let this sink into a quamire of personal analysis, skepticism,
worries and so on, or we can resolutely take charge and act.

But I could have mentioned that I was open to new inputs to the plan, or alternatives, and elaborated on that. Since you wrote for Logical Sequence, you should probably have asked him to deliver his specifics, in place of having you as his front. Maybe you could demand an apology for him not providing his plan here. But I do apologize for not writing in specifics that I was open to new ideas, that was about ready to be launched as a structured plan.

Spreading our forces thin is the worst thing we can do with slightly inferior forces, our only chance is maximum concentration where it hurts most. This is indeed a surprise attack, and we have been considering other alternatives. We also remove Iron from their arsenal in 3-4 turns following the landing, which is a gameshifter, as well as making them lose Hanging Garden. They will indeed think we go for Brasillia and Sao Paolo, as we rename ships with these names.

Civ3 talk, you cannot hold this against me.

And if noone comes up with an alternative, I really don't take criticism seriously any longer. we already squandered 8 full turns of the peace treaty on whimpering, skepticism and ineffective fears of the future.


This is my valid concern. We wasted enough time as it is, and few of us wants a rerun on this mess, simply because you popped out.
This was targeted on the existing delay, caused by the people that delayed the first proposals.

Whatever we do, there is a risk. But being on their land, taking their workers, pillaging their infrastructre, taking their iron and wonder and finally splitting their Empire is the best we can do.

Civ3 talk, you cannot hold this against me.

However, do not assume they have predicted all this. Building a city in their middle, by the lake, is the last they will expect. If you exaggerate their counterplanning too much, you can say we already lost. In fact, they probably play on having 4-5 hardcore
skepticists keeping complex and bold plans hostage in order to guarantee further apathy, staticsim and in general lack of direction, strategy fatigue and in general paralysis, lack of long term plan and vision. I did not run for COMA thanks to this culture, and hope it will die away as Brazuca will do with this plan.

discussing the way Brazuca exploit internal disunity on more complex planning.
And I really do hope that this paralyzing culture dies out. I am not alone to want it die out, so we can get a plan to work with, now.

In general, I am a military trained person, so apologize my bellicose language.
I wished I was a poet or someone artistic or docile intellectual, so I could appease your standards, formats and expectations for posting.
However, this is a war-plan, I feel it natural to post here.
 
Please do not be overconcerned about the time running out. We need to proceed with due haste but no need to rush things without thinking them thoroughly through. Military builds are going on as scheduled. We still have a few more turns for discussion.

Indeed, hopefully CoMA can comment on substantials of an alternative plan which has been presented in detail by LogicSequence.

The issue of balance is very difficult here. And by no means can we lightheartedly throw in everything for a too risky assault. Defence of our nation is of vital importance in any case including the city of Khazad-Dum and coastal areas around Borodino and Unlucky harbor. As well as substantial numbers for military police. The current version of the CoG plan fortunately takes this into account.

However, this does not mean that the current version of the plan is perfect and cannot be further improved. Including build orders as well. Just a minor example of building a 30-shield unit (galley) in Savannah which is at 7spt. We have an option of having galley built there in 4 turns paying 12g or we can strive with 5-turn build. There are other similar issues as well. As soon as the new turn gets in, I would encourage us to delay the playing of the turn so that everyone can take a good look at our production capacity and estimates and have presented a very accurate numbers then.

IMO, every CoIA will be against any abstract plan which says "we strike there with n units and here with m units". Where do these units come from? What happens to cities left without MP? How much happiness can be provided with luxury slider and in which cities? What would be our budget then? These are complicated problems to solve and I hope citizens can understand the need to study these issues with all due scrutiny.
 
I wholeheartedly agree Akots. The plan is not perfect, and needs improvement, adaptation and revision. At this stage, we are like the D Day planning committee.
Of course defenses are key facing that stack. And our defenses would be strong as we will continue to produce troops all the way. In fact, we will have the very best defense at turn 135, right before our departure. I have chatted and MSNed with several players, and I am confident that the few skeptics will be overruled with overwhelming majority this time around.
