Did you OH notice that dtay moved his main 2-mover stack to pindicator continent? There might be a backstab happening.. 
Dtay gets Rifling in 3, then he can upgrade some knights into Cavs and give pindi a hard time.. Is there any way how we can warn pindicator?
I'm speculating on how to react to a possible war, I placed signs on 7 possible Galleon staging tiles, 3 of them depend on dtay not getting Optics, but others should work in any case. 10 galleons filled with 30 knights would enable us to capture or raze 9 dtay cities on the first turn of war. Even less will do if dtay does not improve his defenses. You know that I like stuff like this and IMO we should put ourselves in position where we can execute this already in ~10 turns.
Dtay catching pindicator with pants down in the middle of Cyneheard attack and taking control of the continent north of us sounds like something we want to prevent. Screw the boring kingmaker Civ4 meta, which says that we should not get involved and gift the win to BGN. If it seems necessary, let's screw our and dtay's games and count on still beating Boldly in the late game.
Pretty
Let's backstab the backstabber.
Plan B is to try opportunistically take cities off pindi and Cyneheard while dtay hopefully does the real heavy-lifting.
