If we're trying to take the city because Mack might raze it then taking it and putting one or two injured units in it isn't going to stop Mack razing it. The stack will be in Konigs this turn, then sits next to Nibru next turn, then we take the city the turn after. Unfortunately even if we give our axes cover we only get 20% on archers, so hopefully we can take the city before he finishes another...
Note that if we would take the city next turn we could complete the road and move whatever we want into Nibru. 20 % is annoyingly low, but that still sounds like axes could do a lot of damage so it's not impossible that we only lose 1 axe per killed archer. If we lose 4-5 axes we need to pay even more attention to suttree's power graph so that we survive any aggression once our peace runs out.
Quote:A question is how much do we want to send forward and how much should we hold back in case of YM aggression towards Cannae or Gallipoli?
Enough that we take the city for sure if m_h still owns it. Note again, that if yurimack takes the city, we can road the tile NE of Nibru assuming he has not also wiped our stack (and worker on the tile).
Quote:Another question is whether offering peace for Nibru once our stack is within defending range would be sensible or possible? Would it even work next turn? Unfortunately our war turns are set up as m_h -> YM -> us so if we ask for it and m_h gives it YM can still sweep in and take it before we can get any units into the city.
M_h says no, but we could try it. I would actually prefer killing mackoti's units in the city because they are with great likelyhood 2-movers and don't get defensive bonuses, but if he snipes Nibru from us he surely razes it.
Quote:The only legitimate way around this that I can think of is offering m_h a cease-fire, moving our units into the city and then asking for the city in return for a strat resource or a happy. Convoluted?
We would also need an open borders agreement..
Quote:Sunrise won't be in the right city again until Monday, so we get a whole weekend off!
Civless weekend feels actually good!
