Turn 175 preamble
dtay is still keen on peace and he's vacated Pindi's continent - as far as I can see there are now two rifles, a spear, an Archer and a Cavalry left. In his whole empire he has 15 Cav and 29 Rifles that we can see and is now saving cash on Steel. We should watch out for the great general he just generated too.
And as if by magic, dtay now has two Cavalry in Wilfork. They are probably just passing through so I'll keep an eye out to see if that changes, but the plan is probably off. So I think we try to farm some more XP from his Frigates then as Fintourist said use our commando units to capture the under-defended southern cities.
BGN is looking too trusting to be planning something himself
. We'll uncover a lot more of his territory in the next few turns, so he shouldn't be able to surprise us with a 20 cav invasion force in three turns...
Anyway, we have another tech decision to make once Oxford finishes - do we get RP-Rifling for +1 hammer mines, Cavalry and draftable Rifles or do we get Constitution-Democracy for Representation + Statue of Liberty (there was another Great Engineer spawned this turn, so there could be a lot of competition, but we'll be building it in a golden age...) after Democracy we could get Corporation for +1 Trade Route per city and Wall St or get Rifling for defence. We have four turns to decide, but right now I'm feeling secure enough in our navy to go the economic route. Anyone disagree?
