Shame about the artist, and yeah, I think with proper micro we can get techs eot262 and complete last parts eot264. That of course requires a nice focused play. 
i fear tbs's winning date thanks to the new artist is too fast despite our slowdown efforts, but why not give our best try anyways! Not marching 400unit stack through his land is kind of pity though.. 
Lets send everyone of our spies up there and build even more, run full Espionage after we have finished techs, pillage everything we can and maybe even sacrifice commandos for minimal gains. Elensafar pillage destroying needs to happen asap as the city goes very soon into full artist burnage mode. Hmm.. If TBS plays it too tight I wonder if we can screw his plans pretty bad by destroying all elen's cathedrals in the middle of his starvation --> if he needs to waste an artist in elen instead of basilisk, things get closer. Assiming ee dont have visibility of basilisk could you post the culture amount shown in victory screen?
