Another reason I didn't play last night is that Suboptimal gave me a response to my trade proposal that needed some thought, and I didn't get the chance to put any time to it with my brother stopping in. (And now we find the other brother gave the wrong date/time for picking him up at the airport so tonight I might not have a lot of time either Famity sometimes, right?)
Suboptimal offered me 1 gold for 1 gold.
Looking at demos, I see we are no longer #1 in military. Suboptimal now is.
Oh wow, he's going to attack Kaiser next turn, isn't he? I mean, I thought from the gossip screen that he had declared friendship recently but it's possible that I read that wrong. I can't think what else 1 for 1 could mean in this context.
So how to respond?
If we continue to attack with Suboptimal joining in and Kaiser's troops between us and the capital then we likely aren't the ones coming away with Kaiser's capital. So my first reaction is to ask for peace with Kaiser this turn. This let's Kaiser turn his troops around to focus on Suboptimal.
I don't expect him to hold out for the full 30t so this idea may just end up giving an upset Suboptimal as a neighbor. Or a weakened Suboptimal fighting Rowain in 15t or so time.
But it also let's us turn the bulk of our army towards conquering city-states. There can't be much longer before walls come up, and we are stalemated with Kaiser for the time being. Plus we already have openned up a lot of land to expand into already.
So I'm leaning towards offering peace this turn. But with a big decision like that I'd feel better getting your input before proceeding
