Hmm, anything that appears to be helpful to Nicolae will definitely draw Sian's ire. But at the same time, do we care what he thinks? We're being perfectly kind to theStick who has Tankra problems, and splitting Sian w/ Nicolae while ninja'ing the wonder that we want ('Mids, HG, etc) sounds good to me...
That and dealing with Cataphracts before they're even an issue.

I'm ok with giving information on Chiton, sure. I'm not sure how much good it will do Nicolae - there's no way he can take a city unless Sian just doesn't build axes for some reason (that he's had available for awhile)

What's the latest on Nic's power ratings? Maybe he has a nice bundle of units he can blitz with?
The Warrior check in Chiton is probably so he knows what kinds of reinforcements can come to hit him or garrison promptly.

I believe the term you're looking for is... cardboard cutouts:

Which is to say - he has a bunch of warriors and Sian has at least one axe.

Nicolae built some not-warriors!
Culture from Chiton is a pain...
Capital is at size 6 now, so I swap from library to settler to triple-whip it with overflow into the library.
Library finishes @ Geometry, set to an axeman.
Green doesn't poke in with his axeman, so we swap back to a library and keep the axe in the queue in case of emergency. I'm going to try and get cities A & B up as quick as possible since working special resources is cool.

And it's not getting any better - holy city and monument... yikes. At least it shouldn't be able to take over the gold tile
I think A is the right spot for that city. Is B the right spot for that city? I'm unsure - it's the best spot for that particular city, but I'm not sure it's the best overall dot map.

Does nicholas really think he's going to intimidate Sian into replanting his city? Maybe he's trying to get him to tech archery? unless - Sian couldn't have plopped an aggressive plant without an MP, could he? that would be weedy - nah.

Not a clue. I'd get nosy about it, but our scout has better things to do.
