Remember that we're getting our forces back. They're only going to be absent for this phase.

if they live.

[Tyrant Leviathan]

I say send some tundra Calvary with lances in tow. Will be dealing with native troubles. Not Moskugi cowards.

Ignore as jungle is more Calvary friendly.

[Roboson]

Roboson, worst case scenario if we send our cavalry is that they attack and gain one section of the Tundra.
If that happens, we can easily push them out the next phase with the cavalry back in our hands and the homefield advantage. And they are incredibly unlikely going to be suddenly attacking the Tundra for no apparent reason to them this combat phase.

We use our calvary in the jungle, to my knowledge, its not just sitting in the tundra. If we have calvary sitting in the tundra (which we shouldn't because that would be a waste), then we can send them. But I don't want to take calvary away from the front line.

We need those extra apprentices. Can't just s3nt them all over, that would be massive overkill.

Cavalry is still used in the Jungle, just less so. I wouldn't send all.

We have a garisson on the Tundra because it borders the enemy.

[Chiefwaffles]

Even >if< they die, then we have to wait a bit longer. I still doubt we're going to be needing them even in two phases.
If Moskurg gains ground in the jungle this phase and the next, we're still fighting in the jungle.
If we gain ground in this phase, we still fight in the jungle next phase.

And again, if Moskurg decides that they want to suddenly attack the Tundra for 100% regular reasons, we still have a homefield advantage and it won't take forever to get the horses back - far shorter than it'd take for them to completely conquer the Tundra even with our homefield advantage and assuming our horses make a huge difference.

@Ebbor: Well, yeah. We're not sending all of our extra apprentices over. Like I said, the smallest amount possible to maintain the crystals and man the token amount of cannons if sent. And same for cavalry - just most of it.

[Roboson]

I'm fine with overkill, I want to make sure we definately get this credit. And we've survived with our current number of mages, whats one more turn?

Honestly, we have a metric shit ton of apprentices now and they have the ability to antimagic sections of our forces. We don't really need a billion extra apprentices on the front lines. Its likely the enemy won't be sending many mages at all, and so if we send a ton, they'll definitely go with us.

[andrea]

our apprentices cast fireballs, which currently can't be dispelled when cast from range.

[Roboson]

wait a second

Yeah, their anti-magic is midrange now.

[Chiefwaffles]

I definitely think longer-ranged fireballs is still something we should do when possible.

[Roboson]

Ok ok ok. So how about a compromise?

List of everything we're sending:
50% of new mages.
50% of tundra guard (including Calvary)
1 cannon
Enough crystal weapons to equip our soldiers and the natives

EDIT: Thats still a 50% increase in mages for the war this turn, which will increase again next turn (in relation to our previous turns). And it still leaves us a force to defend the homeland. Plus the increased number of crystal weapons will go towards the soldier's of our allies, which likely don't have as good weapons.

[Chiefwaffles]

I'd prefer:

20% of new mages.
40% of Tundra guard including cavalry
50% of our current cavalry
~5 cannons (reminder that they're just expensive; not very expensive)
Enough crystal weapons to equip our soldiers and the natives

[Roboson]

50% of our current cavalry

You want to take half our cavalry from the front lines?

[Chiefwaffles]

When it's for a revision credit and the cavalry is barely contributing anyways, yes.

[Roboson]

Counter offer:

30% of new mages
40% of tundra guard
60% of all cavalry not assigned to the jungle
3 cannons
Enough crystal weapons to equip our soldiers and their whole country.

Is this acceptable?

[RAM]

I am sort of tempted to send all our cannons and call this turn a loss. Come out with a boat that uses them next turn and we can afford to lose most of the jungle if we can take the sea. My worry is that the jungle will die, so I vote for turning the frost tower down enough that it won't kill the jungle this turn.
