yeah, disband Pressburg, attack graze w/ the GRAND army (is there one?), and send a scouting party of two to seige that new city

looks to me like the Austrian are expanding, we must srike hard!

Incorrect. We have 5 units in Pressburg. Only 4 are used for the purposes of martial law. One Hoplite could easily be sent... a gamble, but then a worthwhile gamble: Delay till writing is complete and then pop the hut.

Attack Wels is stupid. A size on city cant damage us in the next 15 turns (it takes about 10 to build a hoplite in such a bad site. And indeed we should neve keep it if we get it. It is too far away from the capital and as i said the site is terrible. Much better disband it and settle somewhereelse like the at north of Pedrunnia close to the dates.

Couldn't agree more.

But we also have a big problem regrd moving the units. Pressburg is on conquest Distress which means keep the units until it get better on happiness. Removing two
units means riots.

Quote:

Still i do believe we should attack Graz in the next 7 turns.

WAY too soon. Graz is one of the three targets I'd say attack with 12 to be sure. 9 is risky. 12 won't take us that much longer and we can actually attack Wels in the meantime.

If we disband Pressburg then we lose 33/50 production a turn + between 9 and 12 science a turn.

Not a good ROI:

We get for destroying their city: NOTHING (they get -1 city)
It costs us 360 Production and 90 science.

Compare destroying the city (waiting)

We get for destroying their city: 740 shields + the option to settle a city somewhere (they get -1 city)

It cost us nothing, plus casualties in shields.

btw, should we be considering forts, i think that is the only place units will heal

Zaphod Beeblebrox · February 15, 2003, 03:57

afaik units will heal normally, meaning at a very slow rate everywhere, during 2 turns unmoved in a a city. of course forts a fine thing, but only if you have a defined border, which they can ensure, best on top of a mountain or hill. our borders are moving, we don't have any pw, and not to forget, we haven't the scientific prerequisite for forts yet, this comes clearly pretty to a: Not Yet!

i thought they healed normally, meaning very slowly, in cities too

Destroy??? Who is talking about destroy? I am talking about moving. Send the city to a spot that wont harm H Town growth. As i stated in the other thread we wont loose much on this moving

i dont have any opinion on what to do with our cities but we must remember that if we start taking cities that will extend our boarders the other nations might get a little mad. They dont want to share there continant with us regardless of how much they like us.
