So we're looking at something like 30 hitters and a dozen catapults for Jowy?

Try 35/11. Jowy's weird choice as a Guilds-owner is to mass whip longbows over knights, so he's planning to "lose expensive" rather than potentially win.

Jowy is garrisoning up, but not seeing a ton of offensive stuff.

Here's an overview image of Jowyland. He's got shockingly little defensive depth; his island empire must be pretty huge, which is extremely annoying.

This could go very very badly in a lot of ways:
1. Amicacola could opt to not join in and so it's just a grind.
2. Gavagai could give up his north empire and just hit us hard in the west.
3. Civac2 and Gavagai could make peace and one or both attack us.
All that said, I don't see a path forward to victory on this map that doesn't include taking a big healthy bite out of Jowy's territory. Civac is winning in any conservative setup, so why not kick the tables?

Do we have an avenue to hit civac? I'm not sure we do without moving our stack through either Gav or AT

Unfortunately, the answer to that, as always...Gavagai. There's nothing stopping civac from making peace and then Gav will *immediately* attack, making it a 2v1. There's a very real chance that Gavagai's rage outstrips his desire to die hard as it is, and he'll hit us while abandoning his Rome border the second our treaty is up.

Jowy declared war, did nadda. That's an awesome longbow attack force, man.

I'm not hyper-optimistic about Gavagai being peaceful, but CHECK OUT THIS BORDER.

Amazing how nice and stable this equitable split looks, isn't it? SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR BOTH OUR GAMES IF THIS WAS YOUR ORIGINAL TRY, GAV.

Looks like Jowy tried to reinforce, but enough siege means he's not gonna have the time.

Six catapults to drop the walls down to just 2%, three barrage to mess up the longbows, and then three CR2 cats all who withdraw. Then in come the Gaels...

Only lost a single longbow after those catapults. Life is good here in Mass Killia.

So let's scan with sentry horse...oh nice.

Yeah, let's keep pushing in. If Jowy has some first-rate workerization, he can absolutely take back Qliphoth...but I'm fine with that. He's being very defensive in his mindset. Amicalola better keep tying up those super-huge sluggish longbow masses up north. (And...I shudder...Gavagai and Civac better be actually at war still).

Here's the front.

We really, really want to nab the Colossus and the Sweaty Pizza.
