[Spoilers] Old Human Tourist: Empress of Azteca

[Old Harry]

We need to log in first on t87 so that we can offer OBs to Cyneheard, Barry and Cheater Hater and get it accepted that turn...

Yeah.. At the moment turns are rolling when I'm sleeping, but I guess that's a good reason for setting up the alarm clock for 4 AM.. My gf is going to murder me if I do that

THH will be awake! If he can't log in we probably only need one of them to fill our routes up anyway...

Btw, it looks like Barry's days are soon over and our northern neighbor will be a strong pindicator instead Pindicator took another city this turn so Barry is down to one final city now.

Aw, crap, PB13 all over again . Can you tell if the Holy city got captured or razed? How do we approach Pindi? We could hold off contacting him until we have a bunch of SAs in place, then offer open borders to scout and pile the EPs on? With a powerful northern neighbour we want to get our power rating up early, so I'm inclined to go for the HA/Cat warpath.

Early-ish Aesthetics for 200-hammer-3-XP-SoZ in Hazelnut could be a nice play. I'm not sold on that yet, because I'm not sure that the reward is big enough considering our other options (beakers are the main bottleneck, but getting 200 hammers in H also a decent investment). But I would love to have a bunch of amphi units to use and I see that you like the plan so I'm not completely against it. I still need some persuading though...

I think we need to figure out Azza's tech rate, once we know that we know how easy it'll be to conquer him. If that doesn't look promising then it's 1st-to or Economy... With Pindi up north Amphi units become more and more attractive, but I just don't see him leaving us an opportunity to Ichabod him, so who knows...

Edit: Is the 16 turns for Maths accurate? If so that's a terrible tech rate .
