    The Jihad does need more discussion. We need information. We need to find these armies as soon as possible and intercept them at natural chokepoints. We need to increase our spy network and watchtower lines. Picket ships will help as well, like the one that is operatiing off the coast of Jerusalem.

    I'm concerned that the Caesar is still going through with his assault on Tbilisi. If his army isn't out of supplies, it will be soon. And we can use him and his army closer to home. If the Turks join this Jihad, then we will need to strike fast. For they have the shortest distance to travel. By taking our largest army far out to the frontiers and stranding them with no supplies, the Caesar is putting all of Anatolia, as well as Constantinople, at risk.

    And I am concerned that there is still no development in settlements in Anatolia, except those governed by the Caesar's house. Cannakale just started building something and it isn't exactly on the front lines. If we are to defend this place from Jihad, then we at least need roads to move around on and buildings to train better troops. Further conversion will also give us more resupply points for our armies. But the priests are still standing around in areas that are well on their way to being converted.

    If we want to stand a chance against this threat, then the Caesar needs to stop playing favorites and start building up across the Empire. If one part is weak, the whole suffers. While I am sure the Caesar would be overjoyed to see the Order destroyed by a Jihadist Fatimid army, I submit that we could do more good staying alive and destroying those armies.
