Minor Note

Hey guys. As I've said before being outside of your nation (even in an allied one) will slowly sap your morale... Lost 1% as an example. So when stationing troops away from home don't wait forever. This is why attack AI (for a base) can be useful in many circumstances. I can post specifics, but that's not my point. Just watch your morale.

Yes, like conquering Portugal and Iceland that are completely in the path of the troops. I am still opposed. It is underestimating the enemy and we are paying it.

I am not against conquering AI. I am against conquering AI without artillery. Specially at the beginning of a tournament. Specially if the enemy alliances are elite. Each single soldier, to the last one will be of utmost importance, and must not be wasted against someone that won't bother except you attack.
