Nice discussion here! I was planning to respond to everybody, but that must wait.. I went in to see how the situation looks like and we have BIG news! 
Mardoc went in and attacked Dental Plan!!
Here's the situation:
![[Image: Dental%20Plan.PNG?dl=0]](https://dl.dropbox.com/s/w037w2n1yphj6xz/Dental%20Plan.PNG?dl=0)
It looks beautiful for us. It seems Mardoc sacrificed most of his cats and who knows how many other units. Azza lost basically his remaining army. (Azza got a GG that is currently in Aurora, which is something to keep in mind. It could in fact kill a catapult from us if we don't cover it, but I guess trading cat for GG axe would be an ok deal for us.
We have couple of options:
1. We just go in, capture the Dental Plan, put our knights in the city and probably hold the city.
2. We go in and raze the DP
3. We go in, raze the DP and try to raze Orange as well
4. We go in, raze/capture DP and try to kill as many Mardoc units as possible
5. We wait for one turn so that Mardoc takes DP, our knights are healed and we try to kill every single one of Mardoc's units
6. We do nothing
I am voting for option number 5. Options 1&2 don't offer than much for us. Option 3 makes a bit more damage, but is counter-productive as well. And I don't think we have quite enough units so that option 4 would work nicely. We have lots of knights that really could use that 1 turn of healing. Hmmmmmmmmm......
Actually forget everything I said!
This is what we do:
1. No moves this turn. We keep the first split towards Mardoc
2. Azza plays, does what Azza does.
3. We pay attention and play before Mardoc, or at least PM him and say that we are about to declare and we don't want him to double-move.
4. We use 4 HAs to take the city (might need to be knights if Azza has promo-healed his axes and spears nicely)
5. This leaves us with 13 knights, ~3 HAs, ~3 axes, a chariot and a cat
6. We use them and kill every single one of Mardoc's units in the above picture. (18 units on those two tiles)
Actually, Mardoc's units are so wounded/weak (chariots and LBs out of the city) that we can also do this at the end of this turn despite the fact that more than half of our knights are wounded and between 5-8 strenght. We just use our healthy knights for Mardoc's top defenders and wounded knights/HAs/axes for cleaning up.
Now the question is. Whis is the more appropriate way to play (end of this turn/before mardoc next turn)? Background is this:
Azza played.
We played.
Mardoc played.
We would not be double-moving Mardoc if we would attack immediately, but I guess it's more fair that we wait for next turn? As said it means that Azza gets a chance to promo-heal his defenders but well, our knights will heal as well. In this case we maybe need to PM Mardoc and ask him not to double-move us (unless you can pay attention to civstats replacement and have nothing to do tomorrow)?
Anyways, I really need to sleep now so I have to leave the responsibility of this for you OH. It would be awesome if you have time to handle this situation with care. I will have very very limited time between now and tomorrow evening..
Man, this is going to be so brutal..
