How could I possibly not have a Mozambican flag, I mean, what other country has an AK-47 on their flag?

I would suggest bribery.
If we bribe Haifa in the first turn, we get 1500 gold.
We should sell off unnecessary improvements, crank up taxes, and try to deliver freights to the British in Cyprus.
All of these can be accomplished without firing a shot.
You can bribe Ramallah, it falls into disorder for 500 gold. This secures Jerusalem. |
Many problems with those statements.
1. We start off with Haifa.
2. How do you raise taxes high enough while still allowing for researching?
3. Trade with Cyprus only lasts until we get our independence (Britian is destroyed). So, if we sent freight to Cyprus, the trade would end the moment when we need it most.
4. How does Ramallah secure Jerusalem? To secure Yerusalyim, we need to take East Jerusalem, and establish guards to keep Arab forces from reaching us.

What about the UN partition plan? Attacking East Jerusalem is a violation of the international zone set up in Jerusalem for the next ten years, after which the UN has decided that a plebicite will be held to determine which state it will join. currnetly, Jews make up more than 50% of the population and surely the Drues and Christians would not vote to join an oppressive Arab state.

Fixed my problem. For some reason I had an invalid session.

Oops. I had the wrong city.
I mixed up Jaffa with Haifa.

And these were the only ones I considered. Still something to consider.
If we go the route of bribery, we do not need science or research.
Another consideration would be to try triggering celebrations in Israeli cities, to have our cities collecting the extra trade arrow.

Also, what about my points, about industry, and our isolated settlements.
|
I say abandon the isolated settlements. Let the Pals pound them into dust because they are not worth the effort to protect, given that they play an inconsequental role in our production.
One of the advantages of bribery, is that the Pal infrastructure remains intact, allowing us to capture cities with some productivity, Ramallah had 9 shields when I took the city.
Now, as for West Jerusalem, East Jerusalem alone is not enough to capture West Jerusalem. Ramallah protects the northern portion of West Jerusalem.

Triggering celebrations may be worthwhile, and something the econ minister may pursue. Bribery is usually not cost effective, there are so many Palestinian and other Arab cities that threaten ours. We need their industry as well, and we just need more defensible borders.

Abandon our fellow Zionists, who we helped smuggle in under the British eyes. Our fellow Jews who we promised a new life, and who inhabit land the U.N. resolution did give to Israel? We should abandon them, so our territory actually becomes smaller? Is our word worth nothing? 
Not to mention some of these settlements our on good defendible territory, such as hills and mountains. We just need to be able to reinforce them, and then these settlements will help give us a secure border.

Of course, there is the money needed to bribe in the first place. Nevertheless, I do not dismiss bribing as a possible tactic if we want to capture a productive city. But it cannot substitute for military action. There is also the fact we would have to produce a great many of these mossad spies.

But East Jerusalem will always be a thorn in West Jerusalem's side, ensuring that we need to maintain a strong presence there, armies that could be better be employed elsewhere. If we take East Jerusalem, and then Ramallah, then the front line moves forward, we need not heavily garrison east and west Jerusalem, and we increase our tax and industry base. East Jerusalem has industry as well.
Not to mention East Jerusalem is where the Old City is, and if we do not capture it, the Arabs will not allow us Jews access to our most holy of sites.
Furthermore, there is no differnece in the eyes of the so-called international community, (which makes no differnece in game turns) between attacking east Jerusalem versus attacking Ramallah. In fact, attacking Ramallah is diplomatically worse. East Jerusalem was meant to be shared, and we can "argue" the Arabs are violating this. But Ramallah is territory given to the Palestinian state, and thus is actually more of a violation than attacking East Jerusalem, for those of you who care about these sort of things.

communism is not so good though. There are only a few of our cities which would make profitable deliveries, Haifa and Tel Aviv, IMO.
Come, let us all join together for a better tommorrow.
