Kyoto came in sight as our army moved south west.  We *could* move it up and be in position to attack Kyoto, but I'd prefer to keep it moving southwest and take out whatever city is there.  Do you guys agree?  There must be one there because of the culture border.

We bombard away next turn.

Also, this occurred the previous turn:

I think the 1st vote will be to stop everyone (meaning, the Japanese) from trading with Omega.

Glory to Alpha!

It will be nice to be able to out vote our whole island (Japanese) into an Omegan embargo.

And it looks as though Chemistry and Tokyo will soon both be ours!!! I guess we want to take stock of our situation after that, what's our economy looking like?

...Also the Dave coast will finally be able to grow if it can get its hands on those crabs!!

Yeah why not go for kyoto and really cripple the Japanese.

I agree with the "Cash for Upgrades" theory - lets use it before we lose it.

May I suggest we build a spy in each city at some point in the future, to at least make Omega's job harder with espionage?

Yep let's keep the vikings up on tech. They can't be a threat to us, and it pays to keep them from being a weak target for Omega. We can just steamroller the Vikings once there are no more Japanese cities on our continent.

Let's just keep cranking out the defenders, so Omega don't try and capture our newly acquired cities. Or even the old ones for that matter...

Also a minor Japanese counter attack (8 or so strong) on Cowtown, sparked by the incursion of some of our troops into their territory there, has required some of our reserves from behind the front line to be drawn forward. But, with the initial loss of our small (3 or 4 strong) brigade, we have taken the threat out of this attack with no extra losses. Their solitary trebuchet now feebily bombards our city as we gather behind the walls to finish off what remains.

The upshot of this is that half of the Kyoto garrison left the city to join this ill fated mission. So we now have a severly weakened defence to contend with.

That's a good idea on the spies. I have commenced a spy training program and will distribute to various cities, 1 turn to build helps! Omega are now on 4039/640 ish, so I figure they can definately watch our research progress and maybe even see some of our cities... we need a great spy of our own!!

And, although we just bagged a spy (but don't know who's) this turn:

...new developments mean the defensive spy program has been cancelled anyway with immediate effect!
