Email sent to Lins and Broker this morning before Sunrise sent his email:
Detailed Proposal
There are only 17 turns left in the NAP with Sunrise. I normally plan my invasions at least 20 turns in advance so that I have time to build up the proper mix of forces. I need a commitment to a joint invasion of the Spanish Free State by Turn 175 at the latest or else I will plan a solo operation. I understand from talking with Broker that there may be some concern that I will not hold up my share of the war so here is my detailed proposal of my commitments to the war effort along with the expected division of lands.
Prior to turn 190 (Preparation)
1) Destroy Rego (DR) will provide Lin with 1 settler that they will use to settle the copper island in the square 1 NW of the copper. Settling farther north then that on the island could potentially cause culture wars so Lin agrees not to do so.
2) DR will provide Broker with 1 settler.
3) DR will settle the 2 square island on the square 6 west and 1 south of the copper on copper island. This will be one of the 3 island cities that DR requires to get the intercontinental trade bonus for all of its trade routes.
4) Any notice required by agreements with Sunrise will be given in sufficient time so as not to prevent an attack on Sunrise on Turn 191. No new agreements or extensions to existing agreements will be made that prevent an attack on Sunrise on Turn 191.
5) Both DR and Lin will create an invasion force of no less than 5 cavalry, 5 cannon and 5 riflemen each. The respective armies of 15 or more units will be in position on Turn 190 such that the entire army can reach the square 1 NW of RockdaleStation on Turn 191.
6) DR will concentrate espionage efforts on Sunrise so that prior to Turn 191, DR will have city visibility on all Spanish Free State cities. Once visibility is achieved, DR will provide enemy troop location information to Lin.
7) DR will attempt to negotiate a NAP with Rego that will last until Turn 215 (the expected duration of the war with the Spanish Free State). This will allow DR to concentrate all forces on the war.
8) Lin will have completed researching Steel by Turn 181 at the latest.
Turn 191-215 (The War)
9) A joint strike force will capture the city of RockdaleStation by Turn 195. The city belongs to Lin.
10) A solo DR strike force will capture the city of King City by Turn 195. The city belongs to DR.
11) A joint strike force will capture the city of Luna City by Turn 200. The city belongs to Lin.
12) A joint strike force will capture the city of Galt'sGulch by Turn 205. The city belongs to DR.
13) Solo DR strike forces will conquer the cities of Rife's Raft, San Sebastion and Churchill Upper by Turn 215. These cities belong to DR.
14) Solo Lin strike forces will conquer the cities of Shadow Gallery, Wynand Building, Novy Leningrad, Tycho Under and Wayne-Falkland by Turn 215. These cities belong to Lin.
15) Both parties agree to continue the war until at least Turn 215. Both parties agree to concentrate on troop production instead of infrastructure for the duration of the war to maximize the military advantage over Spain and to minimize the duration of the war. Both sides agree to make their best effort to achieve the war objectives defined above.
Turn 216 (Post War)
16) After Turn 215 either party may make peace with Spain if they so desire.
While the best laid plans often have to be modified, the objectives outlined above are designed to set expectations. Assuming a NAP with Rego can be arranged then DR will be committing over 100 troops to this war on turn 191 (creating so many troops is why I need the lead time) plus replacement units throughout the war. If a NAP cannot be arranged then DR forces committed to this war will be approximately half of that number with the rest defending my border with Rego. I expect to win the war quickly and decisively.
