This is what I sent back:
Basically, there is no way we can provide anything for a strike force which needs to be in position around T115, because our entire spare army (2 horse archers...) is on it's way to India.
I'd really like to use the next 10 units DIM will build as garrisson in our cities, to avoid overextending, especially with the new eastern cities.
I suggest a couple of Horse Archers for mobile defense, and then alternate Spearmen for maximum overflow into Longbowmen.
Midas can provide some back up unit building as well, after it has built a worker. I've had to three pop whip the forge, as there were 3 unhappy faces because I needed to move the lone remaining warrior to cover an axe I used to kill a barb axe, only to find a barb warrior next to it.
Quote:Hi guys,
I think I should be able to finish a road within the next 5-10 turns (need more workers!)
We have Tricky there, our intrepid first warrior, now Woody 2, whose double function is fogbust/sentry. It will remain there, so you can expect a heads up should we spot anything.
That's a tricky one. Because of the Civil Service mishap, we will only be able to start spamming units from our HE City from T110 onwards (we need to build/whip/chop Forge, HE and stables all in three turns...). If you do plan to attack around T115, I'm not sure I could get those units into position in time for the attack. I'm currently very light on units, and both of my spare Horse Archers are currently on their way to India.
One of them is to your north, which I planned on gifting to Ruff for him to run over to India. I'm not sure if he would arrive on time for the attack, so I could move him south to your lands, but I'd need to know when exactly India plan on attacking.
I'd gift you the Horse Archer currently in your borders, but I could only do that if you have a HE unit yourself.
Anyway, let me know what you think.
Regards,
Ilios for DIM
