We want pics! We want pics! 
Actually, I think building up the two pronged attack will be worth it, as the plunder will go a long way towards paying off the maintenance. And if Rome and Germany are as fabulous as everyone says, it'll pay off long term.

The two pronged attack will work, since the red army will be taking losses as the blue army builds up its forces. And we have plenty of production. The two main cities on the british isles are fully primed for troop production, RY and antium cant build a few, and Iberia is a monster at cranking out troops now that its mostly developed.
Um aysee how could we annex germany??? I know it was one of the possible effects of supporting them, but whosit didnt support them. Yes he supported them in name, but he basicly said that was all he could do, and they would have to fend for themselves. Therefore, they decided to revolt independant of us. I think another reason is that we didnt stick to LH's assigned plans again. He probably wanted to make things more complicated as a consequence. Blame whosit, since he didnt fully support them. If he did we could have gotten 2 new cities and possibly troops to defend them with.

OK - I got good news, bad news, worse news, and absolutely horrible news. In order:
Good: There's been a change in plans and I have a lot more free time on my hands in the near future.
Bad: There's been a change in plans and I have a lot more free time on my hands in the near future.
Worse: This is because I woke up this morning with a truly severe sickness - dunno what, but I have a runny nose, a sore throat, a headache and lightheadedness(I smell irony).
Horrible: I have no idea what's been going on in this thread for the past 2-3 weeks. I will need some summary PMs.
Hope to see you again when I'm hale and healthy! In the meantime, keep debating and I may chip in occasionally, but please stop pushing me for things(like pics) whilst I recover.

Okay you heard the man (or the GM in this case). Hes ill. So we will have to improvise. I will go look over whatever amount of pages the last 3 weeks have amounted to, and send a summary to LH. I suggest that Cull finishes the plan (as we dont want to wait too long before there is a chance of the turnset being played) and sends it to BOTH NUKE AND LH. They then can decide whether to let Nuke play it, or wait until LH feels well enough to do it. I support nuke doing it, as long as he follows the plan and doesnt let his personal opinion get in the way of it (just saying this because you havent played a turnset before, i fully trust you to do it for now).
Cull i already explained the costs. We will be building the blue army as the red army loses units, so we will probably keep the costs to what they would be if we just built a slightly larger red army and kept it sitting around. We will probably lose as much as half or more of the units when taking the 3 cities with the red army. The blue army should be built by the time red army take medialanum, and the blue and red armies will combine when they take settia, and will then advance towards rome. It shouldnt be too much more, and the city maintenence should be offset for at least the rest of the admin by the gold we will get when we take the cities, and most of them will probably start contributing to the economy right away like germany and rome will do. Settia will obviously need to be built up, and medialanum might.
Get well soon LH!
And cull can we make the more dangerous drugs like weed/cocaine/heroine illegal execpt by presrciption? I presume the president can make those things happen.

If he can't take pics, he can't play. So we are going to wait for pics.
And it isn't just the army support cost(but your reasoning is that as red army dies, blue army can be built. So the more units we build, the more we can support. We need to have an exact losses and exact build times to do both. Just wanted to point that out), but the cost of the cities as well. We need to wait for pictures, and be patient.
And drugs for personal use is fine. So there.
So no.
Unless we have a vote.
But that would be spam.
So no.

Weed is bad for you. Go research it. It is only good for you in very specific circumstances, and that will come later when we have the tech to allow weed to happen in those circumstances.

Cull why are you so fixated on pictures? We dont need pictures. I quoted a pic on the last page that shows the current overall situation, the city builds, their POP, and pretty much everything we need on the map. You dont need to micromanage every tile, just put it in order of priority for workers like build on resources first, then cottages, then mines, or something like that.
And for the info screens, well i can quote the tech screen. We have a good idea of the power graph. Rome and us are about even, and russia im not sure about, but 30 turns before we were even with rome, i think we were only slightly less than russia, making me think they are about 150% of us right now.
What else do you need? Just make the stupid plan already. Please. It has already been delay after delay, and these pics just arent essential to making a plan.
Sigh on drugs.

Didnt i just suggest an alternative? Read my previous post please. It explained the option of letting nuke play the turnset. Hes in your coalition so you shouldnt worry about him messing you up.
