Threat assessment
Threat: Nomad Incursion
Location: Merintir HomeFront
Nomads
1. Leader is a Heroic Diplomat and a Genius Martial Leader. Threat Level increased from Moderate -> Large
2. Majority, if not all, of the nomad horde is mounted. Threat Level Increase from Large -> Critical
Merintir
1. Minor defenses already in place
2. Tech/martial hero already in position
3. Predicted military innovations via tech during time of crises
Athryrnians
1. Two martial heros
2. Ships for transport
3. Mountain passage to merintir still in progress (most likely the Merintir may either help us accelerate building to connect our empires for better organization, or not focus on the passage as the war takes priority.
Primary Priority
1. Enemy Hero
Secondary Priorities
2. The boars the enemy rides
3. Arthyrn-Merintir Relations
Killing the hero will drop the threat to manageable levels, and ensure that no unforeseen threat by an epic level hero is possible. Chance of Nomad Incursion retreating. If killing or assassinating is possible, proceed to do so with caution. Best to use all three heroes together for maximum probability and effect
Secondary is to see if we can secure any boards ourselves, mounted boar will be useful for all aspects of society, as well as allowing us to fight on par with the nomads, and gives us an edge against the forces south. If Domestication is possible, proceed.
The other secondary concern is that we should use this as an opportunity to ensure that the merintir are wholly tied together with us, no as vassals, but as true comrades. Upon construction of passage completing, and while reinforcements keep up onslaught in tandem with the merintir, a relationship molded not just by faith, but by blood, will ensure the merintir will be stalwart allies through the times.
Personal Notes:
We reallllly need to learn how to weaponize our cats sooner rather then later.
