[Spoilers] Fintourist and Old Harry have nothing to see here

Farewell Fintourist, it all goes to hell from here on eek yikes cry alright scared shakehead smoke frown bang

As an example of how it's going to hell I worked out a possible build-list for the next seven turns (assuming production rates don't change, which they will, so this is a very rough estimate).

- Agincourt is busy on GP duty so it'll just about finish a spy by t154
- BoP finishes Moai this turn, then a lighthouse t151, then produces a knight by t155
- Cannae is putting a few specialist turns in for the next golden age so it'll just about finish a Trireme by t155
- Dunkirk completes another sentry chariot this turn, then a spy and two knights by t155
- Endor will make one knight by t155
- France could produce two Triremes by t154
- Galipoli just continues on its market
- Hastings ditto for a forge
- Issy gets a Mace this turn then two knights by t155
- Jamestown gets a Mace this turn then five knights by t155
- Konig is busy with GPs
- LB just continues on its market
- Midway gets two more Triremes
- Nuremburg gets one mace
- Omdurman is busy with GPs
- Peterloo can whip a knight t155

TL/DR: we could add 2 spies, 12 Knights, 3 Maces and 5 Triremes by eot155. That would make our army:

4 Chariots (3 sentry, one medic 1)
12 Knights
4 Maces
6 Catapults
2 Longbows
23 Bowmen
18 Axes (1GG with morale promo available)
4 Spears

4 Galleys
6 Triremes

2 spies

I think we need the Triremes in case of Mack coming at Cannae or Omdurman by sea. The spies are to scout Suttree and Mack, since they won't let us do it the normal way...

The Knights can become our zone defense force or a surgical strike force if our spies spot a weakness in Suttree or Mackoti. Or they can be the base of a force of ~30 Knights that we whip out over the subsequent turns. hammer But we need a guaranteed return from 30 Knights - if it doesn't get us enough land to compete with the big boys then they just make us fall behind when we could have been building banks. So right now I'm assuming we won't go full military, we'll just try to keep up on tech and hope something comes up. rolleye

I haven't put any longbows and catapults in the plan, but we could switch priorities and build a few less Knights if we think we're just going to sit tight.

Of course if dtay doesn't get gunpowder soon then going after him with a stack of 30 Knights would be fun...
