Ok I'll leave the tactics for handling the tribes to you. I under stand your reasoning for the tactics you are using for handling them.
I did not mean turtle in Minerva territory. Once we have the loot, return home and hide it through out our territory and turtle, in case Minerva try and get back there assets back.
Can you pleas clarify how many troops we do have (have been running on an assumption of between 2000 - 5000 not counting serfs and slaves)
As for the why I am suggesting the smaller forces is to minimise losses and increase flexibility if we meet Minerva forces wile raiding in there territory. Smaller, faster forces are harder to find and hunt down. I can see with Minerva's tech level that 500 of there soldiers can easily tack on 5000 of ours. I am going against years of military convention because of the difference in tech level.
Also a caravan in Minerva territory is not going to give a lot of info in terms of viable intel, the caravan to NRF and China are to find out what they are doing. We need more than this from Minerva. having 20 groups of scouts in Minerva territory spread out, constantly moving and being as stealthy as possible has what I believe is a low and acceptable chance of tipping our hand to Minerva. This may look like normal scouting and spying if only one or two groups are found. 60% discovered would be concerning for us.
Minerva is already suspect us (reason for this war game) why not show we are at least paying attention to them. A lack of activity can be just as alarming as to much.
