War: 1836 AD Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

While this Minister of War would love to suggest that we allow our armies the chance to sink their swords into the beating hearts of our enemies, our army consists currently of:
1 Archer and 1 Phalanx in Apolytonia
1 Fanatic in Malaca
2 Caravels being used as transport ships rather then vessels of war
2 Settlers, 1 Caravan and 1 Explorer who have our enemies quaking in their boots (though their quaking looks suspiciously like laughter )

Obviously until our City Planner enriches our Army attack is not yet an option. Primarily I hope that we can add at least one defensive unit to each of our cities, and then start on offense

Similarly until our Science Minister finds the knowledge of better warfare, our choices are limited.

Concurently our Foreign Minister needs to find our enemies, and establish our relations with them (just so that I don't suggest we attack someone who is not yet our enemy

In short, everyone else needs to be doing more!! (with the exception of our most Glorious and Magnificient Trade Minister , of whom I can find no fault, and to whom I strive to be as great as )

Looking for something to poll on, I ask the question...IF we are to build units for our cities (the domain of the city planner) shall we focus on Offensive Units (Horsemen) to agressively defend our cities, or Defensive Units (Phalanx), and wait for our enemies to come to us?

I suspect we are way behind in the power of the units we can build. I think we should defend ourselves with dipolomacy until we can build better units than are currently available to us.

I agree, Noble Leader (sorry, could not resist).

Forget normal thinking. More 1-2 defense units will not help if we get attacked. Better to die quickly and get it over with. More cities, then (science allowing) barracks for a horde of vet troops.

We better hope war does not come any time this term. If so, we are all doomed. Doomed.

Suffering from ads?

We had better pin our hopes on getting some better war techs! Or the AI's will be playing the end game by themselves...

Another week, another missed poll. However I think that for our cities the only units we should concern ourselves with are one or two defenders to protect against Barbs (or are they too advanced for us by now...? ), and we should try to put more shields into Caravans and preparation for Xinning centres.

However, some Horsemen to explore lands overseas and pop huts would be a good idea. I just don't think units at home will do anything but take up valuable shields.
