Quote:Yeah AWTA stands for Alliance Within The Alliance. It isn't the best
name but if you can come up with anything better, I'd like to hear it.
Anyway, an alliance of 8 teams sounds like a good idea to ensure that
we aren't left behind post-CAN. 2 civilizations that I would like to
see on our side are Carthage and England. We have good relations with
Carthage, and they have one of the highest GNP's in the game ATM, so
that would be really valuable. We have dealt fairly with England so
far and they would have several troops left from the France campaign
to spare on attacking someone else, so that could be useful as well.
We don't really have a strong preference on the remaining 2 civs that
join us, so we'll let you guys think of some possibilities.
However, an alliance with the sole aim to take out Egypt is IMO not
really in AWTA's interest. Sure we eliminate a dangerous player and
capture some shrines, but in reality, AWTA is too far away to really
gain much of Egyptian land long term. Splitting the shrine income to
the victors won't work either since an alliance to destroy Egypt will
not last long after that objective has been reached, and therefore
since we won't control the shrine (we are too far away) very little of
it will go to us long term.
The main target for AWTA is Inca. 3 of us border them, they are behind
in tech and we can settle a good portion of their land since Rome is
preoccupied with Portugal. If Carthage did join another group instead
of us, we might be forced to attack them since their high GNP would be
a threat long-term to us. It is still preferable if Carthage join us
instead though since we can attack other people instead.
Is the IM summit you are proposing a chat between the 4 of us? If so,
that's a good idea. We would need to find a suitable time where we all
are available though (I am available most times, but if not another
member of A4 can take the call).
Enough Talking!
