France have switched their EP's. I'm going to add 3 more to them, because chances are they can just see our research.
I had a short chat with Mukha from Portugal yesterday:
Basically, they want to attack Rome with 6 chariots by T70, and they want our help. Unfortunately, I don't see us contributing more than 2 chariots by that time. They got Horses from Krill, and while Rome does have copper connected, they don't have Hunting or AH, which makes a chariot rush possible. You can gather from Civstats what they've whipped for this turn...
Mukha also gave me the link to this:

This almost 100% sure the map we're currently playing.

Quote:Willem: ahh right, I might not be available in an hour and a half
good good, just so much to do now we have all these techs
we were wondering
if you had considered attacking rome a bit earlier?
because at the moment they don't have hunting or animal husbandry
6:59 PM their last tech was researched t49, so they're clearly going for IW
their best defensive unit would be either axemen or warriors
7:01 PM me: well at the moment we're a bit light on defense
Willem: are you worried about inca?
me: when did you want to head for themN
7:02 PM no not really
Willem: we can get horses off krill this turn, and have 6 chariots complete by t69 or more
up to 10 chariots if we went insane
with an attack on rome's capital t71-74
7:03 PM do you have visibility on their second city?
me: we've had some bad luck with barbs, so our lands aren't as developped as we'd like
Willem: and their sources of copper?
me: we have our warrior around their lands
Willem: ahh damn, we've been quite lucky with barbs so far
7:04 PM me: so there's no way we can get more than 2 chariots by T69
but 6 chariots is pretty good man
Willem: well we have exploit to worry about as well
7:05 PM you didn't want to take part in the screenshot swap with CAN?
me: exploit has india to think of as well
Willem: how about just a trade between us two?
me: yeah i did
but I just keep forgetting
Willem: we would really like to see what you can see of roman lands?
i can log in now and take some new shots, satellite view 1280x720, bare map, resources tagged
7:06 PM me: I'll try and see if I can get a couple of screenshots tonight
Willem: can you see their copper or second city?
me: I can see their borders
Willem: also with sailing, did you get a trade network with them?
me: but not the actual city
no, with Inca atm
7:07 PM Willem: so when you say you can have 2 chariots by t69
7:08 PM is that the turn you would complete them? or turn they could be attacking?
me: hehe the turn I'd complete them
no horse atm
Willem: ahh right
ok
me: will be online T66
7:09 PM but if you do attack them
Willem: just a single unit if you have one to pillage a copper at their second city
would be such a huge help
me: we have our warrior up there
7:10 PM don't know if he'd be of much help?
we're like a tile from their lands
Willem: hmm, dunno, they have combat I warriors
me: if there's some forests remaining
ours is woody I
7:11 PM Willem: do you have copper connected?
me: yup
Willem: so if you built an axe or 2 when would it reach rome?
me: but I'm not sure you realise the distance involved
7:12 PM we're like 12-15 tiles removed
Willem: yeah, we have revealed some of the territory between you two
you're about the same distance from them as us
me: so an axe is actually a bad idea, since we'll have Horse Archers by T72
Willem: their capital is 8N13W of ours and i think 13N8E of yours?
7:13 PM ahh ok
well we need to be attacking before t74 i think
or around there
me: yeah probably
Willem: because they could get hunting off exploit then
and also might have finished IW
me: India not planning on choking Exploit?
7:14 PM Willem: they are I think
me: well they took a setback with the loss of their copper city
Willem: but maya sort of dented their plans a bit
yeah, they want our help, but we are more concerned with rome
me: we are too
sorry we can't be more of help atm
Willem: we could go with our insane chariot plan and send 5 at exploit and 5 at rome
7:15 PM me: we could follow up
Willem: of course our cities would then spend rest of game unhappy
me: hehe
7:16 PM Willem: so do you think you could send a screenshot with bare map and resources tagged tonight?
i'll do that now
me: I can do that, but later on
