Turn 186 denoument
So this is what happened earlier on, read from left to right. We sacrificed 350 hammers of cats, then 270 hammers of Knights and 320 hammers of muskets without taking anything as yet. Probably not the best move, but if it works out as I hope then it makes our inland cities a lot safer. The reason I think it may work out as I hope is that Mack is busy taking cities off TBS now...
You can watch the battle here, it took about an hour though, and you'll have to put up with silence, very slow typing and tiny text commentary. At the start I'm lamenting Suttree burning his great general to delete two workers of ours that I was a little careless with

As for planning. It looks like we'll get Astronomy eot191. Right now we have some units being built. The building capacity of our coastal production cities are like so:
- eot Issy will have 65/80 hammers in a Musket, 80/100 Cuir, 42/50 Cat and 40/60 Pike, and will make ~25 hammers a turn once the golden age is over, so it can build up a wave of overflow into a Galleon or two in six turns.
- France will finish a University eot 187, then can start building a galley at 15 hammers per turn, so could need the whip to get a Galleon out t191, but may be able to finish a galley the turn before to cash-upgrade.
- BoP Can put 15-20 hpt into galleys (instead of the Bank its currently on) either to upgrade or to queue-upgrade.
- Midway will have 30 hammers in a galley eot187, then can put about 10 hpt in after that.
- Agincourt can put about 25 hpt into galleys, although I'd planned for it to start on Oxford.
- Endor can complete a galley eot188, then can put 16 hpt into more boats.
- All our other coastal cities are too busy or too crap to produce much.
I'm assuming we'll just use veteran units from our campaign, but the units to complete in Issy can mostly be Amphibious too. This is Ichabod's stack right now.
I think your Cuir suggestion is possible, but I don't think it's necessary. If Mack was going to take those cities he'd have done it this turn, he's going to see to TBS instead... Even if he was being more aggressive I don't think Toledo is worth a GG. It's just got a single crab and some villages. I don't think there will be much promo-healing for Suttree even if he turns auto-promote on, probably the most annoying thing he could do now is move the spears out of the city and onto some hills, but even that doesn't cause us too much grief.
