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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
