[SPOILERS] Team EggHeads: DMOC and TeddyKGB (Now Lurker-Friendly!)

[DMOC]

I wouldn't have Yos/Cal gift us the unit … just having it in the 'general area' as a backup backup would be nice. Only needed if they declare war (and we'll be able to tell in time since we have culture visibility). Of course, if they're willing to gift it to us in the event that GG DO declare war, that'd be awesome. But now we don't need extra unit costs.

Hopefully rome whipped a building, rather than a praetorian … they could theoretically have iron connected just now and the trade screen wouldn't have updated (?) … regardless, nothing we can do now but pack everything we've got in UIllinois.

Any idea what to do with Stanford? I don't think we need more than 1 spear unless we think GG is prioritizing chariots over praetorians, which is a stupid move imo. Then again, attacking us would be a stupid move since our copper is deep in the empire and I don't have a problem whipping the entire empire to build axes. We could build an axe, as I suggested, perhaps via whip, or whip barracks -> axe. Still, Stanford should really be more of a research/cottage city so a barracks seems wasteful.

EDIT:

As I understand, the current city counts as of turn 76 (turn not finished for everyone though…)

(9) Vicky/India (CB): Turns 28, 37, 42, 50, 58, 59, 75, 75
(7) Pacal/NA (SutOxy): Turn 36, 43, 59, 63, 71, 72
(6) Willem/Ottoman (M & Ast.): Turn 38, 52, 62, 71, 74 (I may be wrong on this … did he also found a city on turn 73? If so that's 7 cities for him…)
(6) Sury/Byz (Us): Turn 33, 50, 58, 66, 76
(5) Isabella/Inca (Yos): Turn 33, 46, 62, 67
(4) Ragnar/Rome (GG): Turn 38, 54, 60
(4) HC/Dutch (Orgy): Turn 42, 56, 67
(4) Mansa/Zulu: Turn 38, 53, 69
(4) Darius/England: Turn 39, 55, 71
(3) Nap/Sumeria (Pony): Turn 49, 63

It's really quite surprising the disparity between the expansion speed of the top teams versus bottom teams in the list above …
