Actually it might be good for our survival chances if the GCA - GWT alliance becomes a more dangerous threat than it is now.Indeed should GWT take over the West continent then they pretty much win the game ,Already the civ score of Gwt or CGN is higher than that of Poly and CFC toghether ,the continent unified would have a 3/1 or 4/1 advantage above the combined CFC and Poly aliance.However Should GWT lose the upper hand on the continent and lose a lot of territory then then our traditional enemy alliance would become a luagh and that would threaten our position in our alliance with Poly.However that would make CGN grow and thus become and obvious threat for the Poly-CFC alliance to.

Power lies clearly in the West ,if we want to strenthen our power position then the easiest enterable war is in the West ,we can always join either side if we want to although takings GWT side would be a diplomatic risk unless it's not threatend by a powerfull CGN.

If i may advice a good strategy ,we should await what happens in the west and when either CGN or GWT expands to much then we should first off all let Apolyton resore the balance.
Apolyton can still be a threat to us under the current condition of international politics ,should GWT or CGN become more powerfull then there is no doubt that Poly cant afford aggresion towards us.
Our millitary is weak and hardly able to defend our own lands ,at this moment we can not effectivly commit any large force abroad since it would severly endanger our motheland against poly.Because if Poly would be able to capture CFC then the could reach a civ score that can compete with CGN or GWT.With other words an ungoing war in the West is important to us ,and when the balance of power get's shattered the Poly should rectify the situation with it's offensive forces wich then cannot threaten us then ,while we keep or deffenders at home.In the end ,Balance of power between CGN and GWT is crucial for Apolyton ,they can not let either of one grow to much ,while we have more interrest in an ungoing war where neither of one becomes superior on the continent however have wars violent enough to occupy Apolyton thus not threaten us.

The danger there is that One of the West country's could become so powerfull even dispite Poly and optionaly CFC interference ,thus eventueally threaten and kills us all.Another danger would be that Poly trough interference by Alliance would actually get a foothold on the Western continent ,then they would become very dangerous to us ,as if they grow in the west continent mopping up our nation could be a following step to their mastery of the game.However Poly getting a footthold in the west would not be taken lightly by the West country's.
In addition ,it would actually be pretty nice if we could expand in the west.IMo we should only do this under the circumstance that Poly is already engaged in coorperation with CGN in the West and this with a considerable attacking force.Under such circumstances we cuold have a solid chance of doing a good blow on a sellected coastal city of GWT behind the important front lines.

The eventes in the West are fortunate for our position and if well manipulated can offer some good opportunity's for us.Having a small though dedicated force of riders wich can attack boarded from an effeciant and fast navy (important!) could offer us an easy way of expansion in GWT land while others are occupied on te front lines ,however it's conceivable that if Apolyton enters that war it will also use the tactic of backdoor naval invasion ,and they will respond on that with building a efficiant naval force.

In this sence it would be most benificial if CFC could capture very early in combined Poly/cfc war on GWT an close GWT coastal city to use as port of conquering army's ,this before Poly can capture such a town.Then trough treacherous diplomacy we might have a gamble to expand in Gwt land faster than CGN or Poly.Because should we get a foorhold on the continent ,from Poly's and GWT point of view our growth on that continent would not be nessecarily threatening to them as CFC is relative weak ,If CFC would take much land in a war Where the CGA/GWT alliance gets destroyed it would become in rellative power possition about as powerfull as CGN or Poly thus there would be a balanced situation of 3 equal powers.

If either CGN ,GWT or Poly would expand in the west then it would be seen as a threat for the geopolitical balance of power ,however as both GCA and CFC are realtive minors should they expand in the West then their gains could be accepted by most party's as it doesn't nessecarily threaten their global position while the situation as status Quo is bot for GWT or CGN unbearable simply because they are bot in reach for mastery.
 
Interesting, well written, and accurate, my friend. I want all ambassadors to take note. Much of this requires domestic and military participation as the Foreign Ministry does not create and command troops.
 
Very Very well writen and a very good evaluation of the situation. I am glad to see someone else having a little bit of fear from APO.
 
It looks like CGN is taking a beating right now. Apolyton is getting ready for an invasion, and so should we. I ask the President/ military Minister of how many Riders we have and will have in the next 15 turns. I'm not advoating invading that early, though. BTW, does anyone else think it would be wise to send some settlers/ muskets over? It seems that there are alot of burned down cities and more to come. The cities would be completely corrupted, but would be fine for military bases (harbors/ barracks).
