Should we turn on the Iroquois

[Civman2004]

Discussion shows that the citizenry are opposed to a war, at least until the end of our GA, but if that such a war occurred we should go after the Iroquois, then possibly Hammurabi and his Babylonian Bowmen (what a great name for a band!). However, to prepare now for eventualities later, the FA department presents the following poll:

Should we attack the Iroquois immediately after our GA finishes (immediately meaning as soon as our armies are ready to go)?

Options are Yes, No, Abstain. Discussion is welcome for further options after that, which would be polled later.

 

[invy]

Yes, ofcourse, before they can develop.

I think this should be Bolded:

'Should we attack the Iroquois immediately after our GA finishes (immediately meaning as soon as our armies are ready to go)?'

@ invy - done

No. Enough war. We don't need to conquer everyone. We did that last time. Let's focus our Golden Age on getting some wonders (in case anyone didn't notice, we don't have any) and improving our empire, not making it bigger. If you wanted to use samurai, maybe you should've waited instead of charging into war so impatiently from boredom.

 

[GenMarshall]

We should realy wait untill our units are recovered from the war against the romans.

 

[Zarn]

We should never go to war with them. They are peaceful, and will not start a fight with us. If we were to attack anyone, it would be civs that attacked us first.

Sorry - but they did start a fight with us - our very first war of this game in fact (here).

 

[Chieftess]

Can I ask the people to please make up their minds? I've been building up along the Iroquois' borders because we were going to attack them soon after Rome...


Now there's talk of Babylon again. :/

Normally I would not support a war, but the past treatchery of the Iroquois cannot go unpunished. For one thing our nation is far better than theirs, we'd be doing them a favour.
Naturally, our Golden Age is not a military preparation, we need to build improvements and wonders.

 

[Zarn]

I don't think they will do it, again. I was refering to future aggression.

To allow my stance to be more clear:

No more war, unless someone attacks us. In that case, we don't play defense the entire war, but we would invade their civ.

 

[blackheart]

Yes, attack them once their units are up north and we are ready. They started a war with us earlier and now it's time to finish the vendetta.

 

[Zarn]

I really don't see any point in this. They aren't a threat, and we don't need their lands.

 

[blackheart]

Stop evil before it tooks root.

 

[Zarn]

I wouldn't call them evil. We can establish better relations, which would waste alot less resources than an unneeded war.

 

[Crimso]

I hate to sound like a warmongerer, but the first nation to become a super power, in my experience, wins in the end. One civ from each continent have been consumed already; this does not look like a nice peaceful game to me.

With a conquest of the Iros than we can recuperate the loss and gain more resources whilst doing it...but i believe our ultimate aim should be the conquest of France!!!

CT, Are you accusing us of being Flip-Flops?

Ali - weren't you the one who just a couple of days ago was advocating the destruction of the Zulu? Why France now? It is currently not viable to attack it (or at least if it is, it is far less viable than any of the other alternatives). Of all the civilisations on our continent, I would say France is the last we should be thinking of attacking, in terms of geography, but also in terms of their future role in the game. France is not an overly aggressive civilisation, and can be a solid ally without posing any great threat. We also have currently a very easily defensible border with them, something we can't say about the Iroquois.

 

[ali]

yea for the invasion of france we need to take Zulu 1st.. didnt I make that clear that????.....that was 25% of the reason for the invasion of Zululand the best defence is an offensive one of my points was the need to dominate zulu to hit france......sorry i didnt make myself clear

Kill everyone. We are the supreme nation, all nations must bow to us.
