MSAV: Operation Rome Sweet Home

[Sir Donald III]

I've already included "Marshalling" instructions for Settlers, at the VP's Request. A site near Raveena would work well for our purposes, but I would need WOTP on the exact location.

If Antium is Auto-Razed, then I've alos gotten Marhsalling Orders for refounding nearby.

I'm a bit surprised at this Ministry's lack of plans regarding Pisae. It's an OK Commerce city which would be a boon for the Iros if they capture it.

So long as there's a city in the East and noone else piles on Rome, we should be Okay with holding Viro until next TC. But we need to consider an offensive there with possibly an accompanying Settler. I could probably make a discussion on that Before the TC, to get the ball rolling, but we probably won't have any action until Next TC.

 

[Civanator]

The reason I left Pisae out is because by the time we take Antium and march to Pisae it will probably be in Iroquois hands.

Antium shouldnt be autorazed as it has culture though.

 

[Ashburnham]

I know I'm okay with the plans, Civanator. Let Caesar feel our wrath!

 

[Sir Donald III]

"Probably" =/= Will. Iros could go for Hispalis next. Or perhaps Rome itself...

 

[mhcarver]

though this has probably been discussed and I have just skimmed this thread, conquer all rome for as I posted in the FA thread "I come not to praise Caesar but to bury him"

 

[Chieftess]

Well, Rome is pretty much ours. If we can take that one city to our immediate north, we can let the Iroquois troops head for the FAR northern city. Once they've reached it (we'll get the message that Rome has been destroyed), we attack. Why? Because the Iroquois troops will be so pre-occupied. In the meanwhile, our troops will be waiting at the border. In fact, there's 1 stack already in place.


In fact, we could even ask France to declare war on them just to keep their troops up there. (Remember Babylon in DG2? That's how we took out their 40 longbows without a single blow).

Well now that we have Samurai the Iriquois are the next target

How soon do you want to attack Iro's? I think we should follow CTs plan and let Iro's army destroy Rome. I would like to use this peaceful period to build infrastructure in the east. If War ministry wants more Samurai please contact me here or in provincial thread so I can change qeues.

 

[Civanator]

Well the Iro's are in my crosshairs now, but I won't pull the trigger just yet. I want them to send all their units up to the far north, and while their troops are gone we strike. And of course I'll have a battle plan

And that trigger should be -- "The iroquois have destroyed the Romans!".

Or, we can estimate (based on who the Iroquois have ROPs with - probably all of the civs)

I reckon for symbolic reasons we should be the ones who capture Rome

 

[Civanator]

Having the Iro's march all the way north for the MA would give us a huge advantage when we turn on them.

We already did...
