Yup, probably main reason. I think Kathlete will have a harder time taking this Holy city though...
Couple of Diplo updates:
Ottomans to Ruff and us:
Subject: Incan war
note: I had sent a short message asking whether it was possible Inca hadn't spotted Pizarro yet
Quote:Actually, I think that both the Inca and us know that will DOW on them
and we are both trying to fish as much info out of each other as
possible while not actually spelling anything. They know of your units
near their border (check ruff's thread about the suprises)
We are currently considering when we can give Ruff more support. We
will inform you of the results as soon as we can.
Enough Talking!

We have consulted our plans and we can't get another chariot to your
lands by TTD.
However, we can get another chariot to the tile 3E of your 2nd city by
T64. This is assuming barbs are not a major problem.
We have considered some other possibilities on how we can help you and
we have conluded that we can send you our source of copper along the
river that your 2 cities are planted by T65. Let us know if you want
us to do this since is deviates from our current micro plan.

Quote:Hey - here is an idea. Can you send your current chariot E and cut that road? that would slow them down and wouldn't need a war declaration from you. It might tip your position but if Inca have already tumbled to it, then it isn't much of a cost.
Who knows, if you stay in the area, you might be able to nab a free worker or two.
When do you need feedback re copper? TBH, I don't think that copper really helps me. I can hold with my archers. Wait - if they show up with horses, spears would really help. Let me know how much lead time you need or if anyone else will have some copper to spare ... I might be able to plan 2 spears in 2 turns if I have enough warning so that I can return the copper quick smart.

DIM to Aztec:
Subject: Inca war
Quote:Ruff,
It wasn't all that clear to us you expected us to declare and invade this turn (T56). While I haven't ended the turn yet or moved Pizarro, I'm not sure we'll have someone to play the turn before the first half runs out.
We actually thought you'd declare, and then ask us to move in if the opportunity was there. Anyway, let us know so we can act accordingly.

I cannot see their capital so I don't know its makeup (next turn I will). How about you move 1NE and I will fill you in next turn.
Ruff
Quote:Ruff,
With the slowing of the turn timer I might be home on time to declare war within the first half of the turn (current ETA 3 hours 6 minutes)
Do we know if their capital is at size 1? Any larger than that and Inca could simply whip an axe, right?
