When should Apolytonia declare war?
I salute you, my fellow Apolytonians!
Please read alternative explanations before voting!

Ok, I don't really care if this is to be official or unofficial.
I don't know if this poll follows amended guidelines(gotta repeat my law studies once more), but what the heck... It could prove useful in stratgic planning.

There has been talks of a war for expansion. Which civ will be the first victim I do not know. (that's another poll)

The question is at which stage war should be declared.

Initiated: 4. July 2002
Expiration: in 5 days.
Alternatives:

-> Strike now, with only a handful of warriors. (1 to 10 turns)
-> Strike early, after some military buildup. (10 to 20 turns)
-> Strike in a while, after some planning and when military equal (more turns?)
-> Strike late, when outnumbering them and technological superior. (in many many turns?)

NB: Chancellors and Ministers, can you sign "official" on this paper?

Archer rush, ~ 25 turns.

Mr.president... and that's your signature on a legal poll?

Well, these moderate archers could perhaps be accompanied by swordsmen if we play our cards right. (tech-buying available, resources unclear)

I have to be concise when going over 30 new threads with about 15 replies each.

I seriously doubt us finding any iron nearby, so that makes a long-term assault doomed to failure. Warrior rush at this point would be utterly smashed. We need Archers, and lots of them. Therefore, I call for an Archer rush. An initial assualt wave can be completed in about 25 turns. That's how I came to my opinion.

Archer rush sounds good to me. If only it weren't for these infernal jungles, we could overwhelm them with War Chariots & start a golden Age.

I kinda like the sound of When we are ready. For some reason it just sounds more practical.
