Shiber I don't have control of the galleys once they are given to IP, however I like your plan. I also decided that the persians are not a large enough threat to any cities to warrant an immediate upgrade of units, However, If they become a threat I give the VP full authority to upgrade warriors in BHQ to Swordsmen and deploy as necessary, probably between loveshack and ubergorsk. However specifics aren't possible. Any persian attack would be a regular archer vs a fortified veteran spearman in the jungle. the odd of suceess would be around 1/3. They could of course kill workers. But since they are escorting settler units I think they are not in a war mood.
I do have a plan though that I want input on. Here it is.
Chartes Mini thrust
1)one galley stops just w of termina 2 turns
2) ugrade warriors in tass and poly to sword for 80
3) move them to boat (they will arrive 3rd turn)
4) on 4th turn move galley to spot s of Chartes
5) On same move unload units
6) on 5th turn attack chartes,
Problem: with this is that we would most likley have 2sword vs 2spear
odds of victory greater than 50/50 in each battle, but the odds of both winning are less.
Chartes could pop rush, if they do we must call off assault there, since the city would be destroyed.
Delays Uber island attempt by about 3 turns.
Good news is, IF chartes doesn't pop rush and we get it, we secure route to orleans and can get another city in surrender negotiations. and those 2 forces could help westward in france.
PLEASE give input on both money involved 80g and the idea. If I hear no objections it will be included.
Note for Unorthodox, if the orders go unobjected or encouraged, they will be included in top post. If they are not their, just assume I decided against them, they are admittedly risky. If I include them I will also make the necessary alterations to other movement orders.

Shiber, I don't believe fortification gives 50% strength. I think we all debated this earlier and it was something like 15%. With the 25% for jungle it would something like 3 vs 2.6875, so we would have an advantage per attack. If i had had more forseight I would have had 4 total troops there, but too late now so I will probably shelve the idea. I wish more people had given feedback on the idea, since it could have really opened up things.

I am not as concerned with a persian sneak attack as I am with Germany joining France, and it snowballing from there. That, we could prepare for, somewhat, by upgrading the Warriors. And sending out Banana HQ's spears to some other cities would make me feel better as well,an reduce the risk of such an attack as they would be more costly, and therefore less appetising targets.
Your gamble. We could maybe get the remaining, if any, Archers as back up...Not sure on the number of turns, though. I will likely stop right after taking the cities so we can all discuss and see the damages. Easier to formulate plans that way. Or perhaps you will all be cursing my computer for kicking out the worst rolls ever...
Well, you seem to have things under control here. I shall retire and rest up to lead the toops to victory on sunrise. We attack at dawn.

, so upgrading now you get the defense and later some of the offense for the war. In the long run(beyond 5+ turns) I wouldn't mind having a 4-5 sword force up there. That way if somebody did attack we could at least take a city fairly quickly.
