I switched to OR & Buro! Buro got us around +50 gpt extra (+100 from capital and -50 from civic costs). OR gets us around 40 hammers per turn currently as we are producing several drydocks and costs us around 20 gpt. We will lose maybe 20-30 XP points during the next 5 turns, but that's a decent trade. Most importantly OR speeds up Wall Street in capital. In 5 turns we surely want to switch back to Theocracy and need to consider slavery/nationhood if we feel insecure.

Very likely no changes
I actually started playing our turn including scouting moves, then Ichabod logged in and played his turn. So I don't know if he added something during his turn, I doubt. He produced a frigate in BoM during the inter-turn. I could have saved our galleon from his privateer that he produced in the west, but it would have been a double-move so I of course didn't. Our turn order has been changing a bit during the last turns and I probably try to play our turn early-ish next turn so that we get the first split. It does not really hold any tactical advantage/disadvantage in this situation, but if we go forward with the attack my nerves are not going to be able to handle waiting and I just want to get it done asap.
And if for some reason Ichabod would not be able to play his turn in time it would mean that a) I would need to come up with some stupid excuse why I can't play before Ichabod, b) alert him that the turn order has some significance currently or c) force me to double move him, which are all stupid scenarios. Oh well, if I'm at the university, asleep or something, then so be it and we just hope that everything goes fine anyways.
