Right then.
(Proposed) PLAN OF ACTION
1.
Don't Panic--Worst thing to do in any situation. Things are never, never as bad as they seem. Our surrounding cities have plenty of production potential, there's whipping if worst comes to worst, and we can always upgrade our archer.
2.
Weed Out the Moderates--Standard counter-insurgency tactic. The copperheads are probably mostly moderates 2.
Weed Out the Moderates--Standard counter-insurgency tactic. Most of the Copperheads probably aren't diehards who will fight to the death for their cause. Most of them are probably moderates who can be reasoned with. Which is why we offer amnesty for any Copperheads who will defect and swear loyalty to England. Once the moderates are out, their numbers will be diminished and only the diehards will be left. This in turn, will scare off other moderates. Once only diehards are left, then we can wholesale slaughter them.
3.
Use Superior Force--C'mon, it's two SPEARMEN. They're like, so 90 turns ago. From what LH has said, that's about all the Copperheads in the area. So we won't be expecting anymore to rise up (Right?
). We on the other hand, have maces, longbows, catapults and knights at our command.So we upgrade the archer, mobilize the units, and completely crush these buggers.
Hail Britannia!
