hmmm, only 6 units then

Myself, I to like to crush... and swamp the buggers, I was thinking more of a fleet of 6 to 7 galleys...

1 main force with two objectives.

Sale along the Blue line.

Land in Blue circle.

Red Goup attacks and takes the city of Madrid.
This force would consist of 4 swords and 2 cats.

Yellow group slits into two, and defends the Yellow circles.
Thus cutting the Peninsula off from any mad Spainards that try to rush to the aid of Madrid.
This force would consist of two sets of 4 or 5 units. Preferably swords as they have the same defense as spears, and can then be available to attack other Spainish cities once Madrid is secure, if we plan to continue.

Swords 3-2-1
Spears 1-2-1
Cats bombard 4- range 1 - rate of fire 1

At least 6 or 7 gallys but more if possible, 10 if you can spare them.

They will be pissed for sure when they lose madrid, and inevitably will counter. I would advise we open an embassy and get a look see before we wade in also!

It would be my suggestion that as well as the invasion force there are other units available to be shipped over as soon as possible. Why have we no fast movers ?

This is by far not enough to take an AI's capital. Double it, at least!

3 Galleys is nowhere near enough on Deity. It's not enough on Monarch!

6 Galleys would be my minimum suggested, say 6-8 Swords, 3 Spears and the rest Cats, and we should expect to have to reinforce in the following few turns, as Spain would come at us after a few turns.

I agree that we should concentrate on one foe at a time. Persia or Spain, but just one, lest we be overwhelmed.

ok time for building some spearmen to do the garrisoning not the swords they far better at attack then defnedig depsite their numbers in the Civolopedia.

Ok my sufggestions, set as many towns as poosiblw to building spearmen, use galleys to shuffle them roiud to needed towns picking up the current swordsmen as released. Bring them al lback to viking homeland to prepare for battle.

My suggestion is we now need about 12-15 swords and 5 spear and about 5 cats for madrid and to hold it.

pikemen will defend too well agaisnt horses so no need to send them . lets leave horse at home for now and hope for upgrade to knights later and then cavalry.

if we had spare boat to take horse westard may be good exploration tool.
