Did we ever actually say "we will declare war on India for sure" at any point in our earlier emails? I'm tempted to craft a (long) reply to Asterix explaining why we did this and that. But it will have to come after the
Yes, we will be needing some spears and axes in our silver city. Fortunately, that's the only "front-line" city so we should just cram everything in there if possible. (Or we could place everyone on the silver tile.) And we need to work with Team Blame Caledorn. I would start moving our chariot back up to protect city 6 (silver). And after the worker, MIT should probably build an axe which will eventually be placed in that silver city (call it "Illinois"?).
- Rome (yes, a problem, we need to put all our defenders inside silver city)
- 'Not settle more than 5 tiles west' with LP (this is not a problem because we were never planning on doing this until at least after turn 80, and if we were it was for the forested city near the rice, which was closer to them anyway)
- Slow expansion (somewhat a problem, but we are still better than average)
- Not enough military (no, we have plenty of military at this stage, but we'll also be needing a few more axes)
- Too many units at the same time (not that much of a problem)
- Slow tech rate (somewhat of a problem, but we are getting a scientist soon. But we need cottages, which is why I think our seventh city needs to be cottaged, preferably put somewhere between the silver city and Cornell)
If Rome will not respond then where do we want to settle that silver city (Illinois)?
Edit: Can stanford be whipped for 2 pop now?
