Alright, as OH reports, we have kind of stabilized the situation.. for now at least. 
It has been rough 15 turns that started with us losing the henge in the coin flip and missing our city site in the south due to turn split. Some good and bad decisions later, the end result is indeed embarrassing demos (as OH states). I dunno if it's any consolation, but it seems that our neighbors are doing pretty much equally bad:
As a final note, I feel a bit lucky as I think Toku and OT4E should have been able to hurt us more. Especially after that disastrous RNG that we had at "Elite"-fight.
It has been rough 15 turns that started with us losing the henge in the coin flip and missing our city site in the south due to turn split. Some good and bad decisions later, the end result is indeed embarrassing demos (as OH states). I dunno if it's any consolation, but it seems that our neighbors are doing pretty much equally bad:
- Toku was not doing so hot to begin with (though on purpose I guess) and after completing this dance with no gains, he must be close to the bottom of the pack now
- Thanks to OT4E winning those low-odds battles, this war was not equally costly for him. But hey, that's still at least 245 hammers that he has sitting now at our border. I'm sure that he could come up with other uses for those hammers too. Removing an annoying border city is surely a plus for him, but this dogpile did not (yet) weaken us enough that we would truly be an attractive conquest target. And if OT4E tries to go after Donovan or anybody else to acquire more land.. After latest events I'm sure we would be happy to take a close look at the opportunity to back-stab him as hard as we can
As a final note, I feel a bit lucky as I think Toku and OT4E should have been able to hurt us more. Especially after that disastrous RNG that we had at "Elite"-fight.
- Toku could have been a lot more annoying had he brought even one spear or chariot into the fight early on. Or actually just moved the axes and warriors in a more co-ordinated way.
- OT4E instead should have pressed immediately forward after winning those low-odds battles. I guess our power graph was scary enough so that he stayed put and gave us enough time to gather forces at "Baldur". Losing the actually valuable gems city would have been a real blow. Of course he can still march in and with the same RNG take the city without losses so let's not celebrate too early..
