MOSTELLER'S BATTLE TACTIC # 4
When a kingdom has plenty of money in its royal treasury, players often times feel that they have more options at their disposal than when their kingdom goes broke. This battle tactic is for use when your kingdom runs out of money. If you implement it when your kingdom has money, your treasury will soon become depleted at record speed.
Once your kingdom reaches a NONE treasury level, at that point in time, you should begin issuing an inordinate amount of intents-to-invade and/or intents-to-raid. In past games, there have been times when I would issue 100+ intents to invade.
The objective, of course, is to maximize your kingdom's ability to respond to all potential situations. This is done by issuing intents-to-invade for every province which you border, as well as every province that you own. Furthermore, if you are invading enemy provinces or locked in set piece battles, issue intents-to-invade for those respective provinces, also.
The proper time to reduce the number of intents to raid is the last war season turn in a given set of war seasons. Why? So that you will not end up paying war faction bribes for being unable to carry out excess intents-to-raid which you issued in the last war season of set of war seasons in question.
The intents-to-invade are automatically cancelled when peace years turns arrive.
Also, when issuing the excess intents to invade, be sure to toss in a few extra ones for provinces you do not border. Most players never have spy info in a timely manner, or they get only a partial military spy report. Make your enemies "think" you're planning an invasion from an unexpected quarter. Even if they have a full military spy report on your armies' current locations, you lose nothing.
By issuing intents-to-invade everything you own, as well as everything you border, your imperial armies will be able to automatically re-invade a province which you lose, expectedly or unexpectedly, with the shortest amount of time wasted.
When your treasury dies, you actually gain an increase in flexibility, by employment of this tactic. Use it wisely, and it will serve you well. Abuse it, or implement it at the wrong time, and your treasury will dry up in a flash.
While this increased flexibility is not a replacement for having money in your treasury, which directly affects your ability to raise troops, it is better than being broke and not having the flexibility, in my book.
When your enemies spy you, sometimes they only get a partial spy report of your military, without the locations of your imperial armies. By having intents-to-invade at the ready for all possible contingencies, you simultaneously minimize the effectiveness of your enemies' spies, even as you increase your own military's readiness and strike capability.
World prophecy reports will, many times though not always, reveal to you the number of war seasons which you will have to endure before the next peace years turn arrives.
I hope that you find this tactic to be useful to you in pursuit of your future conquests throughout Hyboria!
