[Spoilers] Old Human Tourist: Empress of Azteca

Post #2!

And here are also couple of macro points that I planned to state more properly, but here they are just bluntly:
- TBS built Sistine. Let's keep our eyes open reg a culture win attempt

We could drop the Cuirs from our dtay fleet off in his land in a turn or two to map him out so we know where he's likely to try and build it...

- Our power is actually pretty weak (only 6th and almost 800k behind Krovice). We have a huge navy and we are still building more ships in many cities. Probably some of those will advance so slowly that they actually will be auto-upgraded into destroyers, which is fine, but overall I would love to see more musket-rifle and cuir-cavalry auto-upgrades in preparation

I forgot to do this last turn, but I'll see what we can switch to musket builds this turn. I was considering whipping Frigates in a few cities near Boldly before we leave slavery to have at least some fleet over there, but I'd hate to do that before our golden age .

- BGN has easy targets and with cossacks there is a real chance that he just eats Nakor + Q with ease and is soon up to 70 cities. If we weren't already in war I would consider crippling him with a naval strike, but our stuff is in east and we probably can't afford hateful borders with our top 2 competitors simultaneously.

I suspect a lot of his empire is going to be coastal, so if we can build a large enough navy we could pillage/blockade him effectively...

- Consequently, I wonder how fast we could eat Dreylin once we get rid of dtay-war. With enough time we can eat dtay's western part of the empire if the conflict continues as it is and our power improves. Our current land forces (cuirs+cats+grens) are too weak for the real invasion at the moment unless dtay and krovice really clash.

Lets keep an eye on Dreylin's tech/power, but I'm not sure that BGN/Pindi will let us eat him whole... I think we could swallow dtay's western empire with a force of 20 Cav + 10 Grens + 10 Rifles right now. Unfortunately we're perhaps twelve turns from having that available, in which time he'll keep adding more .

- Krovice's economy is actually pretty weak, they make only a bit more than 700 gpt when saving gold. They really need a breakthrough with dtay, which probably would mean dtay putting a big stack of units in range of krovice cannons. They probably can continue rolling cities one by one, but the total destruction of dtay would have required pindi continuing his push in the north + us starting the invasion in the south (Maybe Krovice wasn't ready, but moving in couple of turns sooner could have made a difference as now dtay has drafted couple of rounds and spent thousands and thousands of gold for upgrades). For us the current position is already a great result, but Krovice would have needed a bit more. Well, we keep still dtay's forces divided and try to help Krovice, let's see if they have further big moves in their sleeves.

Are they still running a specialist economy? If so does that 700 gpt undersell their strength? Making a table of where we are on tech vs the top five would be really handy (hint!).
