OK, I've finished the turn.
Army is still massing in the Capital; if he makes a move forward, we can hit it full-force. The treasury is huge and I don't see a lot left to upgrade, so I've turned on research on Engineering - due in 3t - since 3-move Roads and Pikes should be useful.
For the Lurkers and the record (but not Cyneheard):

Yeah, so I guess I'd misremembered how soon this would happen:

So pind lost 2 cities and has started to pull his army back across to the East. Caladan was empty, so I retook. I've moved the Army to march to retake Geidi Prime (which still has a half-dozen unit garrison) or follow across the map.
Then we have a decision to make; do we snipe more off this side of pindicator and hope that dtay runs out of steam on the way through him, or do we sign Peace and maybe send our army along against dtay as well?
I did start building a Settler to replant one of the razed spots in the middle.

Retake Giedi for sure. That was meant to be the NE city.
If you think we can get a defensible city or two, then sure we can continue fighting pind. I don't see why we would fight DTay directly.

Pindicator offered us nearly 400g (probably his entire treasury) and 200gpt for Peace, but for some reason he's still got the half-dozen units garrisoning Giedi ... a city that is useless to him since it still has 5t of revolt left.  If he'd emptied it, we still couldn't have taken it this turn (no-one in range), but I'd have exposed units from the main army to sit next to it. Anyway, we'll take it next turn I think.

Well, dtay has a significant tech lead on pind (and us), and there's really no reason why after munching down pind's cities, he wouldn't keep moving West and eat all of ours as well. If that's the case, our best chance to stop it happening might be to hit dtay's stack as soon as it's clashed with Pind's?

What units is DTay fielding?
That's a lot of gold - basically doubles our tech rate for 10t. See if post-Giedi we can get 150-200 gpt out of pind?

He's fielding Cavalry & Rifles.

Well, the longer we leave it the less he's going to be able to offer. Particularly if his Shrine falls.

Dreylin, thank you for volunteering to help cyneheard. you volunteered for a tough spot with prio knowledge of a major political pivot, I think you handled it well. "What would cyneheard do" is the question you (and perhaps no no else ever  ) asked and acted upon. Good luck going forward!

Aw, thanks! (looks for blushing smiley and fails to find)
The weirdest thing is knowing what the other side of the game was up to a few turns ago and now not being able to follow the developments ... how is < redacted>'s war with < redacted> going; will < redacted> actually make a move on < redacted>, and what other good advice from < redacted> is going to waste in < redacted>'s thread!?
