An unexpected ally appears:
He just made peace with SD and has a stack nearby. I sent the same offer back.
We'll split up Rome. Mjmd will come from the north, so we'll go in from the south.
Mjmd will have an easier time, the north is barely defended. It was going to be my original vector of attack.
Here's the navy! 12 galleys filled with 24 berserkers. 5 triremes with 3 more waiting on the border. 2 triremes are left to defend our coast.
The stack will move for 2 turns, then on the 3rd turn they can attack the border city. We can also sail past it to make it to Rome before his defenders can.
In our border city we have axes that we can upgrade at 125 gold each to berserkers. The border city has walls in case GKC goes on the offensive.
Courthouses finally coming up in the furthest cities. Capital will build a quick Market because it adds like 20 GPT.
We'll send 2 more galleys with 4 berserkers inside to clean up the islands. The cities will hopefully be size 2 by then and we can capture them.
Turn order will be tricky. I'm on the first half now, but GKC will likely double move as he's the last to play. Not sure how I should do this. Any advice?
I don't really want to give him a warning in advance by officially declaring war before my stack is visible.
