How about just say "50 units of strength 8+." Then the negotiation can focus on the number of muskets/knights, instead of the total number of units. That amounts to 400k of power! Not sure how much CivFr has all together, but that's sure to take cities from them.

It's not worth losing 2t over nitpicky details like muskets vs. mace, given the timetable of Imminent War In Like 5t.

Here's how I'm thinking of presenting it: "We're offering 51 units worth ____ Power. 8 of them are catapults, all the rest are a mix of Maces, Muskets, and Knights. Many of them are well promoted being veterans of our previous war."

I'm good with offering 51 units, it's a good number.

I like the idea. I think we could potentially offer up to the 70s in total units, but let's see how the initial offer goes.
And if they don't like it let's talk to CFC. Stay away from the ham sandwiches, folks.

I think 50 ish units is a good idea, and don't think there's much cost to giving them an exact breakdown (not necessarily immediately, but if they sound interested and it comes up on chat). Also mention that its about half of our current forces (which also exagerrates our army which is nice
 ) if necessary.

But we should still sound cavalier about 50 units, at least it'll make them think we can produce quickly. We probably should also produce a wave a units but that's been talked about as well.
