The plan is to carry on going, but the way we do that sort of depends what Azza and Mardoc do... This was the situation on their border five turns ago.
Dental Plan is badly exposed to Mardoc's Catapult and Chariot force, especially if he hasn't claimed that tile back yet. Also the distances pre-Engineering for Azza are quite lengthy. Boo-urns' culture will still claim the Copper at the end of next turn, but we'll be able to pillage it the turn after leaving him with only horses.
Worst-case scenario - Azza moves his stack to turtle in Boo-urns with the 5+ Catapults he's built since, allowing Mardoc to have Dental Plan and Nothing At All. We'd then need maybe 10 Cats to break him down.
Moderate scenario - He could station the force half way between the cities, but I think he loses Dental Plan pretty quick that way and he doesn't build up any fortify bonus.
Intermediate scenario - He splits his force between DP and Boo-urns allowing us to take half and Mardoc to take the other half. This becomes a better case scenario if Mardoc takes enough losses to allow us to pile on through into him. I don't see us taking Mardoc's capital easily unless he throws away all his Catapults somehow, but he's backwards enough that (barring other problems) when we get Cavalry we should be able to take his land as well
.Best-case scenario - Azza throws the whole stack at No Homers in which case we pick him off and eat him easily (if we can hide the number of Knights we have I think that becomes more likely, but we already showed him five and all the Horse Archers we can upgrade
).Did I miss any other scenarios?
Anyway, Azza hasn't played yet and there are only about fifteen hours left on the clock. I was assuming he'd see that we'd attacked him and taken second half of the turn timer from Pitboss Portal, but it's possible he doesn't check that as obsessively as we do. Should I PM him just to let him know?
