Thanks Adrien - I assume you're right, but I want to cover every eventuality (the one that I didn't cover was that they might teleport SE and be miles away from our target, but that totally ruins the plan so I didn't consider it 
).
We're firmly in second place now, but we just don't have an easy opening on BGN like we did with dtay avoiding Astronomy. I think our best chance actually might be TBS going for the culture win - in which case BGN needs to do something to stop him and we might be able to sneak past. As Fintourist says we need to be ready for developments.
Keeping an eye on Boldly's tech direction is going to be important. His GA production is 1500 to our 950 so even without Kremlin/US/Slavery he's able to massively out-produce us. Luckily for us our main production cities are all near to him, while his cottage core is close to us, meaning he's less likely to try anything. Unluckily for us he doesn't need to try anything
. We're going to get Assembly line in about seven turns, I think Factories and Coal Plants will be high priority then. How do you feel about building Wealth in cities currently building Rifles to get AL earlier and queue-upgrade the Rifles to Infantry?
I think we'll be neck-and-neck on tech if we skip communism and he skips democracy - if he wants US then that gives us a slight edge, but I'd expect massive wealth builds to propel him somewhat. We have a decent espionage advantage right now, so we could get *city visibility* and then perhaps *investigate city*? In the short term it might be more use for us to get city visibility on Pindi and/or Dreylin to smooth those invasions, but it also might tip them off that we're attacking and knowing exactly what BGN is up to is more likely to give us the edge we need against him...
