It sounds like we're all fairly happy with a Pindicator attack. We know a lot about his troop distribution circa turn 188 - 190, but things could change by turn 204.
If he gets Rifling (I think he's heading Constitution-Economics right now) and adds Rifles or Cavalry to his stack or cities the odds for C2 infantry drop to about 80% per fight, meaning we're less likely to get through the whole stack. Or if he adds more trash units the Cho-ko-nu's are more likely to survive the initial attack. This is troubling, so I'd like to see his stack and cities on t203 and t204 to allow us to attack with the appropriate number of troops. We could:
1. Spend Eps to get city visibility
2. Keep tracking our scouting worker back and forth across that continent over the next ten turns
3. Hold the worker in dtay's lands until t203, then move him to see the stack and holy city
I don't think 1 will work as his stack is out of range of his cities, so how do our military psychologists rate 2 and 3? If he's paying attention he'll know that we have city visibility on dtay, so there is no reason to keep our worker in his lands. Then again he might be checked out enough that if we don't irritate him by continually nosing around he won't think of us attacking as a possibility...
