So I just realized a flaw in our plans. We have no embassy with BOH, and nowhere near enough gold to pay for it next turn. We can't establish a ROP without an embassy.

McMeadows, is BOH supposed to establish the embassy? If not, we'll need to discuss with them that we won't have a ROP.

Okay I think I have a handle on what I would like to do on turn 56 so I'll put it out there for general consumption. I'd like to start by using one of our horses to remove that warrior they have camped in the mountains. I know it's a risk, but I'd like to be able to keep the strength of our stack secret for a while longer.

As to the stack itself I want to take everything except for one horseman, the archer, the catapult, and two swordsmen. We'll have two more swordsmen and a catapult coming very soon after that which ought to be enough (along with BOH's projected forces) to keep us safe.

Had a chat with Paddy. We both had a look on the embassy costs. It's 48 from our direction and 36 from their side. They have more funds, I'm hoping to have them pay now and we'll repay them later. I'm trying to negotiate a better deal. They might finish currency before we finish construction and then they might be saving up some extra gold. We'll discuss it later this weekend.

The embassy will get there soon.

Sounds good. If necessary we can contribute some gold (7 next turn) to the cause if they're short by a few.

Any comments about my thoughts (so far) for the start of the next offensive?

2 horsemen are required to be available to kick the warrior from the mountain (I think you implicitly say the same). Hopefully we won't have any losses. Therefore, your plan to keep our stack in the dark for a litle longer is allright. However, I would like to have them see what's coming in advance, to be able to prepare a counter attack. Keeping in the dark on the first 2-3 turns will be good, as they're quite close now.

On what to leave behind I'm all cool.
stack: 6 swordsmen, 3 spearmen, 2 horsemen?

We need to leave a horseman behind to protect us from the counterattack at the new desert city, remember ... that's what worries me the most right now, it's a cruddy city so it can only be a threat and/or a fake threat...
