Unit Status

Minister of Defense Report

Unfortunetly, we are at a very tough time. I guess the age we are suffering the most foreign military pressure.
From the East side a 12-sized german stack is on imnent attack towards Mapfipolis. It will be a very tough battle we have the same number of units in both sides. On oue side, the advantages are having fortified units. On the German sice they have military superiority with pikemen.
From the west side, the rejection of the cease-fire the Austrians sent culminated in a stack coming towards us. As sized 8 stack near Graz.
The exploreres arent having a better time. One is being chased by an barbarian hoplite. And the other is eeing big stack on its way and doesnt have a option but follow the withdraw from celtic lands treaty.
The flow of huge stack through the map is very scary. And as i said not much left to discuss other the solve the threats on our empire.

The west and from war region of our empire.

The south and newest area of our empir with two new cities to come

I will come up with a plan today. Cant find much to poll about it. So feel free to give suggestions. But probably our moves will match.

Well, there's a big Austrian stack in the south, what should we do about that? And what do we do with the German thread at mapfipolis? There seemed to be some support for my plan to take a medium stack and attack Troppau and Brunn, should we proceed with that? What to do with the units escorting the Settlers once the cities have been built? Etc, etc, plenty of stuff to discus...

We have 11 units in Graz and 10 in Lins. Launch an attack to the stack would never be smart since it will leave our cities unprotected and the loose of units wouldnt be nice. And with a iminent attack from the Ausrtrian in case of war a cease-fire would be the best (I posted something in one of your threads).Better wait and keep eye on the Austrian and German moves.

Attack is suicide. We can only send reinforcemens (what no matter what will happen) and wait to see what will they do...

They are good sized for defenses. I even think one of the cities may be to weak.

With the German and Autrian threat don see much we can do with the units from the cities. But i guess we could discuss a attack from the units of H Town and Pressburg to Troppau. Brun in my point should not be attacked before Troppau. Looks like you have found a poll
