warlords Instructions
Right now our military is:
2 archers, 10 longbow;
4 chariots, 5 keshiks, 13 knights;
3 warriors, 7 axe, 22 mace, 2 spear, 6 pike, 14 cats, 3 musket;
2 caravel, 2 galleon.
Under build:
2 rifle, 2 mace, 4 galleon.
Definition: I consider "obsolete units" as promotions with Shock and Cover, and to a small extent Formations.
UPGRADES
Upgrade only 3 promotion units first (macemen and axemen to riflemen, but not the units 1-2 XP away from the next promotion, only promote units with combat, city raider, medic - for keshiks also flanker and move)
GARRISONS:
22 cities, 22 units
Only warriors, spearmen and archer units for inland city garrison duty (7)
Only promoted city garrison longbowmen for coast and border city duties (10)
Only promoted muskets (3) for coast and border city duties (3)
The 2 new Riflemen being built promoted to double city garrison and to garrison the cities they stand in.
STACK COMBAT READINESS
Even if the stacks are only 75 % or more, as long as all catapults are in, start the war, the reinforcements can tag along as the catapults do their work on the defenses.
COMBATS
Naval Combats, put all Galleons in a stack, choose combat promotion for all and attack the Roman Fleet on the West Coast.
DORTMUND
Sacrifice obsolete units with only 2 promotions or less first, then score kills
(67 % odds or more) with highly promoted units with high XP and relevant promotions for future operations (City Raider, Medic, Combat).

OPTIONAL TARGET: RAVENNA
Given successful outcomes in DORTMUND and HAMBURG
Given we can conquer Ravenna within 12 turns (extend the turnchat 2 turns if possible just to get Ravenna).
Send the following from these cities:
Undamaged infantry units not required for garrison/pacification work towards Ravenna, plus all catapults (undamaged or not) towards Ravenna.
Undamaged cavalry units are sent into future Roman Territory (Rome, optionally Ravenna) to attack units on sight and to plunder all their tiles.
VERY VERY IMPORTANT
Only future type promotions are wanted, city garrison for defense infantry units (longbowmen), city raiders for attack infantry units (macemen and riflemen). Pikemen should have Formation and Medic Promotions.
Knights should get Pinch for the Dortmund Catapults and other relevant promotions.
