Because it takes a very weird mindset to win a CV in multiplayer. It's downright painful to strip everything everywhere, to basically "give away" all the empire you've been working on. Lewwyn is a dodged guy, it's not in his nature...it's fundamentally alien to how we normally play Civ.

T3 attacked T4 with T3 < 20 turns from a win? that sounds like a bad idea...

Does anyone have a link to where TT did this? I'd like to see what he did.

PBEM24: TT held the narrow choke to his land for a long time against a drastically more modern attacker (Mackoti in Blue)
Sadly, Twinkletoes himself didn't report this game very well, so Commodore took it upon himself to offer eyewitness reports from a blimb! He even sailed his trusty galley up to Mackoti's destroyers for an interview!

Because you have three CV cities to protect, and they don';t become safe until around t185-t188, so the units still need to be in reach of all of the cities...and that's assuming perfect luck popping GA.

two good things from ASM's update:

First, he knows that Team 3 is up to something.
More importantly, china is about to win cultural control along the border, which will delay Team 3's attack an extra turn 
On another note: team 3 will have to make a choice whether they want to use Kremlin-slavery or State Property Caste System workshops. Which do you guys think is better?

Well, the forest should fall soon after the 49% tile. Both are equidistant from Marlo and Macau. The forest would have gotten a little more culture from the artist bomb, but not all that much more.
