This template has the potential to assassinate wizards on soft targets. ~ And you're always welcome to submit your ideas from 1 to all 25 provinces. ~

What we'd like to do is chain avoidance by massive clamp tactics. Most organized kingdoms have a uniform core that can be devastating straight up. We would war straight up, but the echelon of different personalities are used to maximize benefit. War heroes to create net worth barriers via war spoils. Tacticians shock assault enemies that violates the net worth zone. Clerics stand at net worth center by strategic alignment with warriors stretching the zone either near the top or from the bottom. We want our flexibility to allow us to dig out our chained.

This doesn't mean we avoid the obvious. If a kingdoms top is truly the danger then we are set to take down powerful provinces. We have the tools as stated in previous posts. We simply want to retain a high degree of health across the entire kingdom. Giving acres to cows, as it were, isn't so disconcerting here. We don't have to, but this isn't designed as a top kingdom contender. It's first mission is a fun template, but it can hammer. In summary, we aren't expecting to defeat top kingdoms in war but we can make withdrawal a wise decision. Despite the limits here I like to watch AMAs process of acre retention. So for me, the deal break/FPA age is worthwhile study.

In all things said here, my advice is to approach this as a muse. If this template gets you thinking that I'm wrong then you can imagine strategy. Convention works because everyone does it, not because it's optimal. Oh, it's logistically sound but it's also predictable. The zero core allows us to operate in an unpredictable way. My strategic ramblings don't scratch the surface of the myriad of possibilities.
