Prioritizing strategic targets

[PBI]

But what if you have to choose? What if you can only afford one army and have to decide which out of 5 or 6 potential targets to attack first? That's really what I was trying to get at with this thread; obviously if you have endless reserves of money and troops and can launch a full stack against every settlement simultaneously there's no need to prioritize, but if you are making a risky attack and have to bring down an entire faction with one or two stacks, and won't be able to reinforce, what do you go for first? I'm doubtful that the best strategy in such a situation is to go for the nearby worthless hovel and lose half your troops assaulting it while the enemy's main troop factories and economic centers remain untouched.
