>>5276783Ok, here's my analysis on each of the options.
>Allow the sabotage mission to go through.No, it's too risky. Too many unknowns, under different circumstances it could be a great idea.
>Allow Armentarius to carry out his risky strategy.Wait, so his plan is based on a noble transporting his own troops in his own fleet for an attack on one of our island forts? Why even let them land? If he's so sure that they would attempt this on their own then why not sink them all at sea? They'll be isolated and facing our entire fleet.
>Contact the Tarrizans, they will get their silk increase in exchange for their naval support.So silk in exchange for ships? Could be very useful if not necessary. If we win the war we could get gold and war reparations in the peace deal to substitute the loss of silk revenue. Ultimately, it depends on how many ships they're offering in exchange.
>Issue a decree for the Maniakes family to dedicate their ships for naval service.Yes, it's an obvious necessity
>The garrisons have to be filled. Issue decrees for general conscription to fill up the forts.Also obvious.
The gryphin naval carrier idea I brought up should also be explored further for its viability. Be it with the patriarch and the mega doux or whoever.
Talking with Durant is also a good idea. He probably doesn't have anything great given that he was sent on this suicide mission but any intel would be nice.
