Yep. We checked the rules as well. Clearly city gifting is out.
Proviisori had this suggestion:
"We can do it so that they pound the cities to near death, and then we do the "final strike" for taking the city.
After that we can gift the gold we got from the city to RB to make it worthwhile for them too."
The other option is that you take all the cities, and then we declare war on you and take them back. But that seems like waaay too much of an exploit. So Provi's idea seems like the best.
But first we need to deal with theall out attack on our lands. If RB is up for it, I would suggest you move up past Wilhemshaven and to a position behind the stacks closing our territory. That would A: make sure no reinforcemnets come through, and B: you would be in a position to cut off any retreat.
I suspect they will go for Huron River. It will be messy as most of our units were up north. But we will defeat theirr attack.
And, we will likely move on Warendorf next turn as well.
The other complication we have is that you took Wittenbirge last turn. That was a city sheduled for us.We will have to figure somthing out about that. But first things first. Raging war elephants.
