It would be more useful if you could put this in their forum.

If they're smart, they'll leave their options open and wait for the right opportunity (should it ever arise).

Meaning I vote for "I don't know."

They would be smart to do the same (unless they know something significant that we don't ).

One of the factors to consider is whether they have Iron or not. If they don't, then they won't; simple.

If they do have Iron and they have Allied with GCA and they have extremely nice tiles around their Capitol and they indicate they don't want to renew the Non-Aggression Pact with us, then yes, it's a good possibility that they will attack us.

There's too many variables to get a good grip on this issue right now. We don't know their attitude toward GCA or vice versa. We don't know if they have contact with CFC. We don't know if they consider us "weak" because they see us settling towns with only a single Warrior when NM's are available to be built.

My vote is: I don't know.

A better question would be do we plan to attack them? If the answer to that is yes or probally, then the answer to this is mostly irrelevant since the outcome will be the same. The difference is only a matter of who is in control. If the answer to that, however, is no, then we best hope the answer to this is no as well

On the other hand....

If they dont have iron...and we do and our cities are defended by warriors.

They may want to attack to gain the iron before we get too many mercs.

It will take them a long time to connect the iron, but they may gamble that we dont want to start our GA.

They may risk it.

Do they plan to attack us ? Yes

Will they attack us ? Probably not

Are we going to prepare for their attack ? Absolutely

So far CDG has been a very unstable team. I'm not sure they will fall into a logical pattern of whether they will attack us or not, so I really wouldn't know.

If I were them, and did have iron, I would definitely go to war as soon, preferably allied with GCA as soon as the NAP ended.

If I were them, and did have iron, and I planned to attack Poly, ...

... I wouldn't give Iron to Poly.

Let's see if they'll honour our deal.

A VERY good point.

The other point that people seem to discount is: Who in their right mind attacks Numidian Mercs? Maybe if their Mil Advisor tells them that we're weaker ... there's a possibility they'll chance it, but they'd have to hope that between the turn they launch and the many turns later that they arrive that we haven't build a couple of additional mercs and changed the entire balance of power.

CDG's city growth and production are horrible (except, perhaps, their capital), they are right next to GCA who is much larger and has excellent production and commerce. However, GCA has no Mercs, isn't researching military tech, can easily be the target of a surprise, and with US much farther away, even if we decided to counter attack to aid GCA, CDG could easily raze a few cities and return to meet our counter-offensive.

Point being, if you were CDG, who would you target? Apolyton is contained behind a dense jungle on some pretty crappy land. Apolyton has super defenders. GCA has some great land, right next to you, they're peace loving hippies (Indians) that will grow like mad if you don't prune them now; and they probably buy into your ruse of peace and cooperation, while Apolyton is far more suspicious...

I may be wrong. CDG isn't the most logical team, but if they have any sense in them, their target is going to be GCA unless we force them to attack us out of fear that we'd attack them first.

I just wiped out Carthage in a SP game with 7 or 8 swordsmen, they had 6 cities.

Now imagine if those had been immortals...



So...

shall I begin drafting Evil Plan 3.0?? Poly-GCA vs CDG
