Seems like we're going to get some entertainment soon. 
As I'm a bloodthirsty lurker and want to ensure the fun continues, I have to ask what kind of plans do you have for Mardoc after Azza war? I think if Mardoc decides to try to grab Azza land, he'll have cities coming out of revolt ideally guarded by wounded units and is overall more spread out. Until he gets time to consolidate, build walls in border cities etc. So in that scenario attacking Mardoc fast could be good. But that requires having healthy units and enough of them ready to act.
I hope speculations like this are allowed for spoiled lurkers.
