Alot of the older indian paintings feature males with very feminine features, sometimes it gets hard to tell if its male or female, so im guessing early on the males were very feminine in look

A news messenger has arrived from the president in moscow!:
Dear people of englands administration and opposition,
The russian people here arent very hostile. Some have even recieved me with open arms. The secretary outside the Czar's throne room was very nice to me indeed.
We have settled on a location for the negotiations to take place. Right here in moscow. I managed to convince him that it was to his benefit-it was his city after all. But what he doesnt realize is half our spyforce is here to support me. Most of the other half are in st. petersburg getting ready for Operation: We've never done this before!.
What he doesnt seem to realize though is that i am defying his wishes already. he gave me 2 options: St. petersburg, or antium. I chose another one. His capital. he wasnt prepared, and Ragnars ambassador has already said i was brave in doing so. He recgonizes political wit when he sees it. He says europe will soon see us in different eyes. I hope thats a good thing.
I hope all is well at home. I will send you a letter every day describing what happens. If you dont get a letter for 2 days straight let aysee become president and prepare for war immediatly. Execute Operation: We've never done this before!.
Sincerely,
Your President John Arya Armitage

Yes Mr. President, If it comes down to that we will hold an emergency cabinet meeting and delve into invasion plans
edit-lighthearter if it were possible could i be made into a general on the field if i asked it? Men in ancient and medieval times would lead their armies. It would just be interesting to delve into stuff like that.

of which the odds of success are very low if we actually attack Russia.that said,I think a small,one-man fighter may be able to penetrate their defenses and destroy the Czar's Palace

Well military matters are my field 
If you wish to discuss an invasion plan we could do so

Sure! I can do that - do you want it narrative or gameplay? As in do you want an actual in-game effect? 'Cause I can do that . . . .

Well i would want it gameplay, i would then send back letters such as Arya is doing. That way i could personally lead the army Though if my army died(in game) would i die?
This idea would create more of a story like effect

yes,military matters are your field.that said,discussing an invasion plan would be counter-productive at this juncture,as it would encourage us to overlook diplomatic solutions.
I just call them as I see them. there's no way we can beat continental europe,not really

Well nuke, being foreign minister any invasion plans i have delve into your territory also. So if we were to discuss any invasion plans i would have to include your idea on potential allies,open borders, and potential enemies we would make out of the war.
btw im not saying you cant say your ideas, i was just inviting you to discuss it

true,so perhaps we should be making plans. although my diplomatic lists are quite depressing.
possible Allies:Ragnar,Asoka,Kublai Khan
possible enemies:Julius Caesar,Carthage,Ragnar,Asoka,+Peter
open borders:must have Julius or Ragnar
potential enemies after war:continent of europe
potential allies after war:Asoka,Ragnar,continent of asia(if very lucky and Russia was bullying asia)
potential russian allies:Julius,Ragnar
potential russian enemies:Asoka,ambitious Julius or Ragnar
last,my humble foreign minister's take on our military odds: (which is really your territory,resident uk but this is my take)
defeating Russia alone:negligible
defeating Russia +continent of europe:impossible
potential invasion plans:use Theo+Vassalage+Barracks to quickly get experienced army,focus on seizing cities instead of pillaging.if we seize 4 cities,Russia may sue for peace

As economic minister I would like to ask where all the funds are going to?
I would like at least 10% going to espionage and enough going to gold to allow us to run a surplus.

If we were to invade Russia, this is a list of what i would need and plan to do.
4 galleys 2 triremes
12 axemen 4 catapults (if we can build them)
Open borders with Ragnar
Bring the stack of units via 2 trips of galleys/triremes.
Stack them on the border ragnar/peter (before declaring war)
Depending on how fortified Russia would be i would say we would need to pillage tiles as we move towards Moscow. Though if the resistance was very heavy i say we would march straight to moscow. I myself would personally lead the armies as a general. I would then burn the city down to the ground as it would be impossible to defend.
As soon as the invasion force is ready i would want 1 archer and 1 axemen built in each city in europe to defend in case of rome declaring war
If we can get a quick trip into horseback riding that would be helpful on our pillage.
also nuke, we arent trying to force russia into total submission, the attack would be a blow to weaken her and to possibly rescue the president.

we could combine your overall better military plan with my Theo-Vassalage-Barracks idea and mount a Holy Crusade against Russia(that's how I explain the 2 XP Theo bonus) excepting that we don't have a state religion.
and why pillage? it helps our economy,but it ruins stuff that took a long time to build,which hurts the overall value of the land.
course,I admit I'm used to fighting wars of conquest and not raids *shrugs*

Well we are no where close to bulbing theocracy. Im guessing if anything happens we wont have theocracy by then.
Lighthearter, would we have any espionage options? Such as trying a rescue or something. This would help make it more interesting. If you also included some new options i would like to ask arya to put espionage under the economic minister

true.which,along with no state religion,reduces the overall efficiency of my plan
resident_uk
Warlord
The general would be able to make up for it i believe its 30 xp for all the units.
Nukeknockout
Rusty Hinge
I think it's 20,evenly split between all units on tile.either way,it's a significant boon
resident_uk
Warlord
i meant to say split yeah.

it is my humble opinion that to beat Russia,we must game the system,squeeze every last drop out of this thing and work to our maximum efficiency. may I recommend ML if the president is held hostage?
