Time after 'a chance for Power'?

[DerekBaker]

If I received the 'a chance for power' message, is there any disadvantage to delaying my attacks, possibly for tens of turns?

Thanks.

nope it is up to you to srike now or you can wait for another faction to get outlawed. Your choice.

[Quirinus]

In my opinion, yes, but only if you used those turns well. Wrap up any minor theatres, start to bring back your veterans from your overseas campaigns, and keep enlisting new units as you do that. Basically, build up for the most epic war you'll ever fight.

[The Wandering Scholar]

But unless another faction gets outlawed you are in no immediate danger.

[Quirinus]

True, but what if you popularity with the People fall below eight shields? Can you still initiate the civil war, or do you have to raise it up to at least eight again?

[The New Che Guevara]

I've found that if I ignore the civil war for a while, I keep getting the messages saying "A Chance For Power" every so often.
