Nope.
We're still occupying all free land. So we shouldn't get involved into any useless war.

Besides, we should out tech them first. Get Dragoons and cannons, and we'll talk about it later.

James Adams · April 16, 2002, 08:25

Zealot I am not just doing this for the present but for the future!

Hydey · April 16, 2002, 09:03

Lets find out how many cities they have first, I bet they only have about 5 and are no real threat at all.

Hydey · April 16, 2002, 09:05

if the president would get off his rather large backside and build some embassies we could see what they are up to.

James Adams · April 16, 2002, 09:06

Foreign Minister, we will see but if they have more wonders than us we must take those wonders, ahem!

cavebear · April 16, 2002, 09:09

I don't think we are in a position to attack anyone at the moment...

James Adams · April 16, 2002, 09:10

As I have say before that this is no just for now but for the future.

In 2 turns we will both have 2 wonders and I bet we have a lead in techs and a huge lead in cities .

James Adams · April 16, 2002, 09:13

I see, but they have still have important wonders, which I say we should capture!

A message from the

Supreme Military Commander

Yes, we should eventually sack Egypt. Right now we do not have the proper bad guys for a successful assault. To launch a successful wonder-capture campaign, we must:

build at least 6 veteran legions and elephants
transport those 6+ bad guys to egypt
take a diplomat or two to mop up any stragglers

Reasons to invade:

They've built wonders, not units
They are building more wonders, not units
We know their geography

Reasons not to invade:

It will just take some time to assemble and move our force. This must also be balanced with other public demands, such as caravans and diplomats and libraries.

Nimitz · April 16, 2002, 11:54

I think we should go for it when it is fesible like when we have the units together and have finished mike's chapel also can't you capture techs when you capture cities.

Yes, it is, so we should make sure our cities are well-defended so we don't lose our tech lead during the war.

civman2000 · April 16, 2002, 16:52

I strongly support this campaign!! add me to the list!!!

Shaka Naldur · April 16, 2002, 19:15

and if we conquer egypt it won´t be difficult to conquer the americans,
and they also have a wonder

steelehc · April 16, 2002, 21:16

I am definitly in favor of military actions against Egypt, but not at this time. Our armed forces are weak, and our basic infrastructure is not very strong either. Once we build up, however, then I am in favor in crushing blows, to expand our empire.

CannonFodder · April 17, 2002, 00:22

When we have the forces, we should do it. We must expand our glorious empire to all corners of the earth!

ixnay · April 17, 2002, 01:54

Yes, launch an attack once we have the necessary forces.

-Jrabbit · April 17, 2002, 08:19

Wake me in a few hundred years when this discussion becomes meaningful...

That reflects my thoughts as well. Of course we will attack Egypt, but not yet. We are just able to defend Citadel and New Casttelon as it is, we need a more solid infrastructure, and I'd like a see a better offensive unit to build than the Elephant. Let us send squads of Crusaders and Pikesmen, not Elephants and Phalanxes.

we already have crusades, and they have very valuable wonders,

but we have to wait for Adam´s to be built

We have Monotheism, so of course we have Crusaders. I wasn't thinking...

James Adams · April 19, 2002, 07:25

I will just say thank for the support and it seem as the general policy is to attack when we are ready!

Shaka Naldur · April 19, 2002, 14:29

but we are attacking egypt because we need the wonders

Dr. Nick · April 19, 2002, 19:01

The time is not ripe.

*watches as camel stocks plummet and iron price goes through the roof*

Wars baaaaaaaaaaad!

Which wonder do we need to take from them , piramids (our pop will grow with wltcd) or marco polo, we will build embassies.

Now if they finish adam smiths I would suggest they have painted a big target but the 2 that they have are not that important for us now.

Marquis de Sodaq · April 19, 2002, 21:51

By the time we assemble a force and ship it to egypt, Adam Smith's will already be built.

We just need to pay attention to where it is...

DarkCloud · April 19, 2002, 22:45

Discover Dragoons and then attack egypt and destroy them.

cavebear · April 19, 2002, 23:51

We have to set some priorities, we have several competing missions.

1. Attack Egypt and steal a couple of Wonders.

2. Establish well-defended cities on the Roman/Indian landmass.

3. Build Diplomats to establish embassies

4. Build Caravans for new Wonders

5. Buikld Settlers for new cities.

----------

As soon as our President plays the weekend session, I will establish some polls to focus our efforts by citizen vote. OK?

Let's wait to see what the new save map reveals and suggests for strategies.
