Jowy Wrote:The plan is to attack at turn 85. At turn 90, Dantski will hopefully join me in the attack. Later on other might join, which I just found out from Ottomans. We should have attacked earlier at turn 75.. But Dantski insisted that we attack later on, and I couldn't have beaten them alone at that point. Now they're already suspicious at turn 75(my bold)
Taking on Spulla required stealth and speed. Whilst Jowy could have played the diplo a lot better, Dantski's unwillingness to strike early has doomed this gambit because the extra 10 turns will give Spulla plenty of time to get an army together.
A general dogpile at T100 will certainly slow down Spulla, but if their immediate neighbours aren't a threat (Jowy crippled, Dantski not a strong enough player) then they should be able to maintain a leading position. I think Spulla may be able to turn HRE against Dantski if they can fend off his T90 assault.
