Ughh ... I'm gone for a few hours and we've got people talking about killing our citizens? They're peacefully protesting, not rioting. However, I do want them dispersed. Rome started this war; we are going to finish it. Military police should breakup these demonstrations wherever they are obstructing the administration. No protesters should be killed, but any who retaliate with violence will be apprehended.
This is the President's official position to the Copperhead issue.
As for the Balkans... alright, here is my new compromise solution, of sorts. We will support the rebels publicly, but privately inform them that if they plan to move early, we cannot guarantee that we will have military support available to assist them. I do not want to send in the Night Eagles at this time, considering that we may still have need of their services on the home front, and considering that we have not had time to replace their casualties (actually, I'm not sure about that last bit, LH). And we do not want to invite a third party in to help "defend" them, otherwise we will probably arrive to find that the region in question is under third party control.
Seizing Antium will be the next objective. After that, the bulk of our forces should move through central Europe (Neapolis, Cumae) before heading south-east towards Balkans--is that Mediolanum or whatever I can see east of Setia?), and a smaller detachment can take Setia itself if it is lightly defended. I'm not sure how large our army has grown by now, so make sure that you have adequate forces before moving on to any given objective (5-6 catapults minimum to take a city, plus a mix of Axemen/Swordsmen, with the odd spearman to counter mounted units, and Archers to hold the cities).
Depending on how things go with our Baltic friends, we may be able to advance to that region from two directions. I'm not terribly concerned with seizing Rome itself immediately, since we can completely cut it off from the rest of its empire. Still, keep an eye open to see who has researched Feudalism. If it starts to become known, we'll want to take Rome ASAP. (Alternatively, if our spies show that Rome is not heavily defended, a smaller force with 4-5 Catapults can start laying siege to the city and soften it up until reinforcements arrive to help capture it.)
(Arya, I did read your last plan, and this is somewhat based on that, but if we're going to throw our support in for the Baltic people, we'll have to make it priority to head east.)
Just make sure to keep our supply of Catapults high, build at least a couple of Triremes out of Kent or Birmingham to take care of the Roman one wandering about (maybe one out of London if you have to), and convert to Christianity so that we can get the benefits of Theocracy! I think that if you can play the set soon, that should be fine. It would be nice to keep things moving, though I do want to wait a couple hours to see if anyone has major objections.
