Any plans to dig yourself out of the economic hole?

Sure - what our vikings are good at - planting new cities, including on separated landmasses, conquest and plunder. Then growing our cities and working coasts, working our way towards currency. Must be good enough.

Oho! Look who we found!

I have noticed one thing about Dantski's borders. There must be 2 cities, my guess is that they are #2 and #3. And according to the 2nd picture, the borders of the #3 will expand next turn, but it still wont reveal our boat, though he might finally decide to move his warrior.

Well, we indeed have some temporal problems, but we also have the plan. The main reason is that we have low pop and we dont use appropriate number of coasts. In numbers for last 2-3 turns we were using just 2 coasts. This turn we use 6 coasts and have +10 gold, which is not perfect but much better than +1-2 we had before. The goal is to rise pop to 30 (now 14) and use 15-20 coastal tiles which means 50-66% of overall population working on coast (now 42%).

Also we need a city on the separated landmass, but we havent recognized where our landmass finishes. It is a matter of about 10-15 turns anyway, no more. The alternative way is to find enough trade partners, but I fear that we deal with them too harsh

Here is quick analysis of Dutch power graphs. It seems that they have 14k of soldiers I cant exactly explain, probably those are 3 military units or 2 units and archery.



UPD: update pic

[OT4E]

I rechecked a few things and came to the conclusion that Zanth/Gavagai got archery indeed. And the last jump of soldiers(+2k) must be an archer combined with whipped pop during T62-T63.

So in my final estimation they have:
- 2 chariots (or spear+char)
- archer
- 2 warriors
