Turn 205
First things first: Merchant! Only worth 2100 gold (3.5 turns at 100% research), but that's probably the best we can get. (I didn't check elsewhere as we need the cash now.)
Ichabod can declare next turn. But he only has two galleys in range, so I don't think he will. I want to keep our powder dry and keep our Frigates hidden in the hope that he stops building up his navy. Is that going to work? He didn't build a new frigate this turn. Should we declare-peace him next turn, or be more mellow? Our frigate at Zanzibar has taken a defensive position on the clams for now (we could perhaps snipe a caravel next turn, but I'd rather not provoke Ichabod), both our caravels can be upgraded next turn if needed.
What are you up to dtay? there are two galleons poised to hit Midway, with the highlighted galleon capable of getting to France! (I've put a galleon and a galley in it's way so that it can't.) Also he keeps building threatening roads over here. I'd like to get some workers and knights into position to snipe the workers, pillage the roads and then offer peace, but I'm not sure that's the most friendly way to resolve the situation.
Demos and power
There are still some whips and worker moves to do. I'll see if I can get to it at lunchtime.
