I think at this point I would try to keep peace with Egypt, France and the Babs and be contemplating the annihilation of the Greeks. It’s a small island close enough to your main continent that corruption won’t be too much of an issue. (Assuming you haven’t altered the rate.) Judging by the visible cultural level they should be fairly well developed. It will be necessary to attack with a very large force, as you will want to take the entire island-civ in three turns or less (to minimize the risk of a flip-back.) What are your most advanced units now?

You never did say who the dark green was; if you kill off the Greeks they would be the next target.

:NEWS FLASH:
iN the massive strech of coastline on the south of Verse alias (middle continent) between New Nottingham and Pithom Royal Navy Galleons droped off Cavalry to invade Egypt. This drastic moves comes just after Egypt turned its back on its closest allie Britain. We now go to our local corispondant on -HMS- AllAlias.

"tHIS morning the horses jumped out of the ships and strait onto the beaches and ran strait for their desegnated targets, all of which were towns. It has been reported that an unkown Egyption town was destroyed in a seige that cost the lives of 2 Egyption units. Even the newly formed Royal London Chapter got its share of the action, this Elite group of cavalry units managed to storm up the battlefield and seize and hold the town of Cherbourg then quickly moved out. The captain of the AllAlias is currently awaiting orders and his mourd just off the coast near Pithom!"

Its just going along like the normal 'i'm the only one who actualy can attack!' style war/battle! Cleo trys to make sure she can get riflemen to whatever citys i'm about to attack, and i just make sure their's enough cavalry heading towards her citys!
I've taken their capital, they're now using a captured American city as their capital! Hehe! I have more citys in the middle continent than Japan has on its two islands!

Oh and germans war on the north continent has taken a turn for the worst, they were holding off the enemys at a choke point. But then (when i was looking) India and maby china managed to break the lines and Germany only has 1 city! And Berlin was razed by the way!

Well done... I am a big fan of taking out the coastal cities first.

That's a fascinating game you've got going, btw... have you given any thought to playing Machiavelli with the big continent to the NE?

I really like the way you can see the results of continental drift. Evidently this is part of the "new, realistic map generator" that we were promised! Yay!

It apears the further into Enemy the harder it is to defend, they have a few cavalry, but i'm not sure if they have saltpeter so i think their numbers are limited! It apears i didn't bring over enough riflemen, so i drafted 2 and i've begun to pick out some in Britain and sent them over the channel to the citys that are only defended by Cavalry, this allows me to attack more rapidly and in greater number each turn!

Any tips?

Universal Sufferage reduces war weariness in all your cities. Unless ww is a problem I'd build the Army and make it victorious so I could build the Military Academy to build more armies.

Two cavalry, one rifleman (unless you have some obsolete units wasting space close by.)

Unless you really need a strong defensive unit, I would recommend 3 cavalry. An all-cavalry army could move 3 spaces/turn, and I've read that all armies have the blitz ability (can attack multiple times per turn, given enough movement points).

Arrggh!! Gasp??!!

Sorry, not giving you grief miccofl, but this is an issue very close to my heart!

Hazie, please do not mix slow and fastmovers in an Army, as it travels at the speed of the slowest unit. miccofl is on target in recommending a mixed-unit, multi-purpose Army, but there are better combos.

Given your status, I'd go with the previously recommended Cav Army, but I'd stick with just 2. Save the third slot for a Tank down the road, and then, if you build the Pentagon, an MI or MA, depending on circumstance.

A disagreement on tactics could hardly be construed as giving one grief, it just illustrates the fact that we all employ different tactics and playing styles. If we all thought alike and played alike, what would be the point of PTW? Besides I think Hazie is looking for options, as in more than one.
