Nothing is set on stone, not the attack timing nor the actual tactics. My hypothesis is that we will attack simultaneously in the north and south. In north we follow the outline from you, THH & OH that we discussed earlier and try to capture "Dig Up" on the first turn of war and Hello Joe and Azza's capital on the 2nd turn of war. Southern attack is possibly just a diversion and we try to capture Prove Me Wrong and maybe also ZZZ-something on the 2nd turn of war. The idea there is to a) give Azza a chance to make mistakes b) reduce his production capabilities and c) if he wants to recapture those southern cities, he can do it, but it gives room for our northern troops.
And yeah, I think we can produce ~15 knights within two turns of reaching Guilds and I thought that ~10 of them would be committed for that northern attack. Obviously if we give ourselves more production time after Guilds we can get a 2nd round of units in, but I'm thinking that it might be possible to reach aforementioned targets (and destroy more than 50 % of his production capabililities and cut his source of ivory) with the first wave of units and then consolidate and finish the job with continuous flow of reinforcements. Of course this is still very much under evaluation, Azza's power is rising and is currently still higher than ours (luckily a significant part of that is axes, which don't match well against knights), and I might be too optimistic here.
