start moving units to france
I thought we agreed to wait for the flood of frensh units to get stuck in the swamps and only advance when we feel it is safe. I'm afraid that you made us very vulnerable to their counter-attack. Colud you post a pic of what is happening now?
 
Wow! THe situation looks great! THose cav's are pretty much all France has got, so once we kill them they live off reinforcements, and after we get a couple sword armies, France is x) . Good luck Whomper, not needed, we just don't want bad luck ;) .

Edit: Also, I should mention our cities are in perfect strategic position. With jungles/swamps protecting those other ones, they throw all their units at one city, only to be bombed. They'll be gassed soon enough, and America will do a little damage.

Edit2: I really hope Whomp sees this before playing. Porthos, Athos and Aramis up north are looking for trouble. But a fair lady will distract them from destroying our road and forcing defense upon cities. We must send a slave or worker to bait them away from destroying our improvements.
 
Our strategic position is great, but it will become much worth after America is destroyed. They already lost one town and will propably continue loosing unless they learn Nationalism soon. Our front is going to become much wider, BTW even now i see some musketeers are moving from former american territory. BTW our empty city is exposed, i hope some horses can be pulled into it. Also keep in mind that they have much more defensive units then cavalry and they might send large stacks of musketeer in our territory.

But overall it looks much better then i expected :goodjob:. Go, Whomp! Good luck with getting leaders - we need armies if we want to fight rifles.
 
lurker's comment: thanks for the map.i think it really helped other lurkers besides me understand the situation.
 
Take another look in the north, those sets of musketeers appeard this turn, so France is already moving around or strong point. That point isn't the problem I killed enough units there, just no luck with promotions, Our back however isn't protected at all.

We are weak on defence, offence, population, production, happiness, commerce, techs and land, but everything else is just fantastic :) [/sarcasm]

The city with a hidden name look a bit undefended. I'd send a NM from Saldae there.

BTW, Own, nice addition to your sig ;)
 
Own said:
Which addition? The ancient proverb, the correcting of the typo, or the link to this thread?

We're not weak on artillery or offense, or population, nor land, but are economy plain and simple sucks. [dreaming]Once we get France we can set up science farms and take over the world[/dreaming]

Dreams never die, they just fade away! :lol:

Well, i expected us to be dead short after we declare on the french. Compared to being dead our current state is fantastic :D
 
Don't be so pessimistic, our units suck and are of a lesser quantity, and if well played (bait used, general good war tactics/strategy) we can take a lot if not all their cities. They can't get to a city in one turn, so nothing unexpected will happen. If some musketeers and looking to pillage our tiles/steal our women we can bait them out with workers. We have the situation under control with out trebs, and a couple sword armies will allow us to make our push forward. IMO we should capture, because our economy is desperate for instant free units.

I personally don't see how you can beat France using bait. I would be very grateful to see how it works out.
 
Own said:
You will, don't you worry. I'm up soon and I won't give up no matter what.

My plan for beating France-
Their cav will pile up against our strong city, we can bomb all, and those that don't get attacked will retreat. We will set up bait to distract pillaging musketeers. Sword armies with a stack o trebs can raze French cities.

Go ahead, you brave man! :)
