We have already voted for the audacious plan Gold, but one part of the plan now seems in danger to me, or perhaps I am wrong.
The French have thus created a new city on the coast, south of Orleans. Our plan calles for the insertion of 4 swodmen on the mountains to move up close to france, to attack it and have both it and either Chartres, or Orleans (I forget which) in one turn. Unfortunitelly, Rouen stand right in the path of this proposed invasion, plus Orleans has gone to two, and I think that it wil be a three or more by the time of our attack (at which point hopefully France will not have pikemen). We don't want to cause ourselves a major diplomatic blunder in this war, so, can plan Gold work as proposed with these new facts, will we bite the bullet and drive our reputation to hell by moving on a civ Polite to us for a surprise strike, or, will we use the 10 swordsmen we plan to have, instead of making a delicate and masterful plan, simply avalanche against french forces that will be much weaker than ours (the French have a puny military now, they won't equal us in 20 turns even with thier production bonus).

What if we built more units so we could take Rouen as well? Also, would it be possible to land our units outside their territory, get them to declare war on us (or declare war on them unless they meet our demands for the cities we want), and then attack? Technically, does the AI consider that to be a 'sneak attack', if you formally declare war and then attack that turn? I understand what you're saying about being able to beat France in a war of attrition, but I think that'd be counter-productive overall -- it seems like our general objective is a lightining-quick strike against France and then suing for peace a few turns later; serving to expand our empire, give us further room to expand, but leaving France between us and several other civilizations.
Any thoughts?

hi ,
no , why , well , those 2 could be the ones that trow the war in our favour , they could slow that species down a bit , .....
as for the galley , we can use it for so many things , both now and later , its a wise idea , even beter would be to get 2 , 3 or more , ...
have a nice day

hi ,
one is better then zero , but even one could be a large difference , imagine they strike , with the galley we can put troops behind them , we can use the galley for other missions to , ....
we should build at least two , ....
