I am not worried about leaving Chai alone for now (although a lone Knight could probably take it... eliminating any culture concerns/ backdoor attacks on TKY...)
However, I am a little concerned that SANCTA can still draft rifles from ZueCha.
I'm not really sure how to deal with that though... other than to just press on to Tears for a decisive battle against their main Army. If we kill that Army we will probably be able to push a little further into their land before they can mount another strong defense.
Are we prepared for a suprise landing on our East coast? If I were SANCTA, that is what I would be planning right now...
EDIT: I just checked Phoenix
There are 2 Rifles and a Galley there (along with a LBow and an Archer). They could (and probably should) load the Rifles into the Galley and attack Petropavl's 1 Lbow garrison, taking Petro in one turn. Since Pavlodar is garrisoned by a single Warrior, they might be able to blitz the remaining Rifle to Pavlodar and Raze it
. We are finishing a Cannon there (1 turn) but with a Rifle, they could possibly get lucky and kill the Cannon (assuming that we left the Cannon there for defense).
We should assume that they have at least one spy exploring our lands and know what our defenses are.
So can we please move the Rifle in Hazrate to Petro, and make another Rifle for defense (before finishing the Galleon)?
on the war. Keep it up
PS - I changed the name of Ti Kuan Yin (TKY) to "Ti Kuan Oh" T...K...O... get it?
