PBEM Game: Yarnspinners 2 (Running)

[puffyn]

I guess my question is this. I launched a sneak attack on Pythium in the old turn 29 with a tiny force, and if he just raised his province defense a few ticks he could have defeated it. Similiarly with those black hawk attacks he's so fond of. So should we be allowed to raise province defense, knowing now where we're much more likely to be attacked? Or should we try to hew as closely to the original turn as possible and not let turn 30 affect our troop movements?

For the record, I didn't notice any difference in my turn; still the same mindless plant creatures as a random event, even...
