Nice work.
Yes, the "declare or GTFO" gives the AI the first shot, so saying no is usually correct. The only penalty if we do declare is more enmity from all the AIs. By now I think we can sustain that though. If Rome does get mad, then we just kill them sooner before going east to Brazil/Portugal.
That is a lot of Swedish units, so yeah maybe that faith would have been better spent on units.
Not sure who we want to attack first out of Sweden/Russia. Don't count on Sweden actually declaring on Russia anytime soon, the AIs can go as long as the entire game "plotting" without ever actually declaring. Any chance we could get either of them to agree to war on the other? Probably not if they both denounced us.
I'd say to keep the Prophet do the same thing on the next capitals we conquer, whichever order we do them in.
GSci will bulb of course, the question is what and when. I guess probably just do Dynamite when it will finish the tech, don't think there's anything else of major importance.
Militaristic CS only need friendship not alliance to get units, alliance speeds it up but only by a little bit (20 turns to 17 I think.) I agree we want some, but not sure about spending money on them vs saving for courthouses/factories.
Bank is a weak build in Marrakech so it might be time to consider annexing. I think we're OK on happy if we buy the courthouse right away - I think (may have changed in some patches) that an annex with a courthouse is the same unhappy as a puppet. I'm fine with testing and reloading if anyone wants to.
