Simians Vs Sanctuary

High peasants low incoming land usually make the best chain targets in my experience. If you can ambush and get in all the hits during a wave right before his army returns, then ideally that'd be the best chain situation, ending up with extremely high peasants on low acres while all offense is at home. The wave would have to be perfectly timed tho for right before army returning, otherwise peasants will be dropping hourly and incoming land is usually enough to get your army out (or after releasing def/thieves).

I liked your bit about sending soldiers to mates to prevent from getting peasants on attacks, never thought of that.
But really, is Simians running tacts on their avians over cleric? *sigh*

Wasn't my idea, was the best idea Chrissi ever had. I think simians is merchants.

Simians biggest problem is sanc appears to all be uniform in size, and Simians doesn't have enough provinces to chain 450-550k acre provinces (meaning they don't have a ton of provinces around 350k NW). Whereas Sanctuary with their 450k NW provinces should be the perfect NW to chain down simians 450-700k NW provinces. Simians NM and NS won't really help them here since that will just lower Sanc's NW even more and take them deeper out of NW range. NM and NS is good when you're topfeeding, not so much when you're bottomfeeding.

In order for Simians to win they need to gain control of the bottom by keeping enough defense at home so that sanc's smaller provinces can only 1-2x their smalls. It can be done, dwarves did it to our orcs in some fights last age, and Avians should be better at it than dwarves. Per their CE, it looks like both sides are just 4x'ing eachother, which plays right into the orcs hands.
