Maybe they'll feel less bad because once they finally capture a city out of this war?

I guess I don't understand why we would go for a more difficult solution like this when a simple one exists - clear it down to one unit and let them take it.

My thinking was a bit along the lines that it would show other teams that our intentions towards WPC were good and we were trying to help. However I agree that it could be an unnecessary complication.

I see the benefit in it. It would show other teams that we at least cared enough to ask.

Well said, and also unless I am missing something there's no downside: if we can liberate, then we may do it, and if we cannot, we just leave one defender in the city and that's it.

Well the downside is that we'd probably have to read more posts from CFC.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but if I was on the outside, I'd think a question like that was just hunting for brownie points after taking all of Germany. I'd say just help them retake it and call it good.

My inclination would be to just talk to WPC privately about it and guarantee that we won't take Huron from them.
Do we have an agreement about who would get the capture gold from taking the city? If it would be WPC either way then it won't make much difference whether we capture it ourselves or not. Actually it might be fairly minimal anyway as it was only just captured.

I'm actually sorta tempted to just let WPC deal with it and go show our hugeass stack to Apolyton. Show them "you'll need the be thiiis strong to attack us". But otherwise, I'd prefer not nickel and diming WPC.
So, have we decided on whether or not to keep or raze the Tundra cities?

If Sullla's playing the turn, I'm not sure that's even a question.
But for the record, I say keep.
