Turn 106
I think my research path is Metal Casting -> Machinery -> Engineering to discourage Serdoa and Hydra (and Azza?) from attacking with knights... This turn I revolted to Bureaucracy meaning I can now power along the tech tree at 30% science!
(Actually I'll stick with binary for the flexibility, but you get my meaning).

Serdoa razed one of Azza's cities and has backed off back towards my border. They are still at war but perhaps he's offered peace and will be ready for whatever Hydra has in mind? You can see Hydra's one-movers in the top right of the pic and I've highlighted Serdoa's horses on the border hill. Of course it could have been another elaborate double bluff and he might be coming after Exeter again...

With Bureau I have at least got the best city.
The comeback starts here!
