I do not believe that OH has enough CKN left for anything more than a raiding party. If he were to declare war on me, he could try and raze a few coastal cities in the west, which means my objective is to ensure that Stormy Weather and WoodchopperBall are safe. So long as they don't fall, all OH could do is try and raze the western island cities, the western "Moai city" and the front city of HWD. That's worst case scenario IMO, and then I run him through with triple his production from everywhere else.
So what the fuck is he going to do?
I reoffered straight OB to superdeath. I want to scout him out to see if he is at risk from OH attacking him. I don't know if he accepts that, because he has always tried to go OB for resource and the information isn't worth that much: I just follow OHs' stack to find out, because my current actions do not depend on that information.
This galleon could mean nothing, or it could be OH moving units up to try and threaten SW and WB, or it could be an attack on Lewwyn which is being hidden by staying in my borders (and also should make me less suspicious because we show your hand if you are attacking. Because double bluffs exist, that's why).
And we see that I was wrong about Gav bulbing Astro. He bulbed Banking or another Medieval era tech, Astro would have been a 24 point increase and he only got an 18 point increase. Could have been unlucky RNG or anything, really, but I don't know if this is his 200, 300 or whatever GP. But as he has gotten into HR/Vassalage/Caste/Merc/Theo, he has no need for another GA to swap civics. So he doesn't have to care about GP generation and can use bulbs, whereas I'm going to have to blow my next GA. Late game that might cost me, and in the immediate future I might end up having to fight at an awkward tech deficit.
This army is pitiful, but how many units are needed to feel safe on a map like this? Too many.
