If the situation at the Rammas dies not tip in our favor then I may consider abandoning it, it's not important compared to taking hold of all the fiefs and cities. We should seek to alleviate the plague from all our central territories. On the northern and southern border I feel it is a necessary evil to deter outside forces. It may be the only thing holding Ioreths allies at bay. When we finally do execute the plan, it will do little more than flush them out if anything, so the Rammas will be required before then, so that we may have a chance at facing them in the Pelenor" "You know, I was beginning to think that myself. We have the Fiefs and we have the cities, save for those within tis small pocket of the Queen's territory. News has reached my ear that Osgiliath is with us, which would make it very useful for uniting our cause against the Queen.[he spits] The only problem is that an army of loyalists marched into the east side, and the famed Dome of Stars is currently only connected to that side because of my original plan to annex that half after the plague did its job. Ithilien will not be a problem in alleviation of the plague, I have done that myself prior to this, but I think it would be foolish to place that before the goal of securing our hold over this land. The protectorates of Gondor are only as loyal as the reign of their leader. They would not wage open war on us if we conquered their conquerers, but as it stands they will do so until not one of their men are left if they are under orders. To me, if your plan of the attack will work, we need to take this part of the Rammas at the very least. Ultimately, the goal must be as you said, to meet them in Pelenor fields, conquer them, and take the seat of Elendil once and for all."
