Do the Mantis focus on the war or raid their neighbors...

Poll ended at Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:39 am

The Mantis see an opportunity and with Crane Forces pulled into the conflict in the Phoenix lands start raiding their rich ports, this worsens relations with the Crane but enriches the Mantis and gives them control of the southern seas.

Stay the course, the Phoenix are weak, might as well kick them while they are down, allowing the foreign invaders to better secure their new holdings.

With war intensifying in the Phoenix lands, especially along the coast the Mantis must decide if they continue to raid further south or focus their efforts on the invaders.

Because the Mantis just being pirates is the least interesting option. Them performing service for the empire and defending the seas is much cooler imo.
