If he uses them on our stack then we lose every battle to his knights, however many he has, so I think we need to retreat our stack. If we move one east of Konig, then heal for a turn we can hit Get This from the fog on t169. Look what Suttree has been up to though - those roads allow Mack to stage the six knights that were in Get This on the tile S of Madrid, then take Hastings. I'll move the two pikes back into the city and whip the longbow, then we want to get another couple of units in as meat shields - there are some bowmen available for the job.
All this is agreeable to me - basically we can direct our offensive either way depending on what looks most promising. The reason I think Barcelona is indefensible is how isolated it is from the rest of our cities. I guess technically our zone-defence stack could go on a tile equidistant from it, New Peterloo, and Hastings, though, so maybe it isn't so much of an issue.
As for proposing peace, well, we did just accept gold from two people for the promise of continuing the war ... I'd consider us contractually-obliged to repay them if we secured peace without additional combat at least. I don't know, what does Fintourist think of all this?
