Cyneheard Wrote:The best thing about the Horse Archers in this conflict is their mobility lets them cover everything. From 2N of Antietam, they can hit a stack 1NW of C-ville immediately, and anywhere else (including the far east) in 2t. Since Jowy went Phalanx-happy, he's going to be very vulnerable to HAs with his, what, 2 spears? It'll take 3 turns to march from Thebes to C-ville. That's too much time for Spullla to churn out an extra 7 HAs or so.
My call:
Shiloh burns to the Praets (There's no way that won't happen unless Whosit backs out), but no other cities fall.
Post-COWar the tech pace is going to crawl, with Spullla facing massive whips and whip anger (they need to double-whip some HAs or else never get out from their looming happiness crunch), and everyone else struggling financially.
If Jowy played it right he could get AK to one move Cville, and move his slow movers up into position to wipe out anything that Spullla sent at the city after it fell. Just needs 2 extra roads (4 and 8 of the front city).
EDIT: No he can't because he failed to get a monument in Thebes asap. On that note Cville is going to be a right slog, it all depends on NaMOC, so right now I think this is going to be a spectacular screw up because of lack of planning.
