The galley plan sounds really nice dude, to keep being a pain to pindicators expansion - what are you gonna put in it?
And so your game winning/ending plan is to try and take down ichabod when you reach musketeers? You haven't made this too easy for yourself getting sucked into a duel :P
What other units are you gonna mix in, or just go super hard on the draft/slaves? What turns/year are you aiming to hit musketeers by?
Also next update could you post your tech tree? I'm interested to see what you have teched so far. Oracling maths was nice for the power chops. In the online teamer world where I hail from the oracle is usually banned for being OP, but if it isn't general consensus is to get monarchy. This is more orientated towards a whip heavy hammer economy early to win when cata come online, but probably would help snowball giving essentially an unlimited happy cap early on. It's interesting to see how different communities play.

I'm India, man.  Pindicator's France. My combat UU is debatably the best in the game, though. And my plan for Ichabod is probably less "hit him" more "Eat Pindicator and some THH and out-economy/size him".
So. Fast workers. Forest-blanketed y-wrap start. Math make more sense now?

aiming to never hit a musketeer, I'm sure. If the duel ain't won before gunpowder then the game will be well and truly lost.
Also, buddha has had ZERO spreads? even just within your ci? that's some rotten luck.

Hey, I hope I get some credit for the idea after you win this one.

Hey, I hope I get some credit for the idea after you win this one.  You get all kinds of credit, a very very good thought.  But I wouldn't have been convinced without those two facts.

Nor would I have suggested it. Now all you have to do is prove whether it was a good idea at all!

Sorry, I got a little confused there following all the threads :P I did get that you had fast workers, but for some reason thought you were france at the same time.

Briefly, to expand later:
-Sodor, t55
-Second place!
-Dazed just hammered THH
-Too late, methinks.

Or I could update for this turn; we've only had the one since. Dazed is making his move against the demoralized THH, apparently doing well enough for Pindicator's daddy to join the cause. Ichabod, meanwhile is just plain putting away the game with his stone monopoly. Isabella of Pyramids, dudes. Unless I can eat France at decent cost, we've lost to England.
Here's the battlefront. I'm going to whip a galley next turn to flank Dorter. Keeping pressure is key...
