Then sue the airline. Judging by what I know about the US (TV series and (European) newspapers) you should become a millionaire easily

I just looked at the save, there are now 7 vultures and 2 spears in our line of sight, 5 vultures can attack Thu this turn so I suppose it will have to whip its phalanx, but there are many decisions I need to take this turn that I really don't trust myself to take well : I'm postponing the decision until after my week in Bretagne.
I hate being the guy who slows the game down (literally stops it for 10 days). The others must be frustrated 
Situation may be manageable, but Grimace currently sits with 30k more troops than me and only 19 GNP (I think). His capital's name even means "captain evil" in French. Next turn it's 5 vultures vs 4 phalanxes (he won't attack) and the turn after that 5 vultures and a spear against 4 phalanxes. Still manageable because the new phalanxe I whipped will be promoted thanks to vassalage. Then I have 2 phalanxes and a chariot coming. If he advances he might be able to take out the copper but chariots and longbows will be pretty good against vultures. The situation is therefore not hopeless.
Tech wise, sailing in two, then I have to decide between currency IW (for rice and gems under jungles mostly) and MC for the Colossus (and +2 happy forges).

That's new I think  My last bright idea about this game was that crossbows would have totally rocked this, but then again after oracling machinery we still would've needed archery AND IW, so probably would have been late... I fear this issue will finally be resolved by catapults only. Well, at least construction is a really good tech for us anyways. Fitting in MC before that would certainly be nice. Less enthusiastic about IW before Calendar. Reminder: after Sailing you may want OB with Sian (or was it retep who had them?) 
Crossbows are a long way away now, MC + IW + Machinery and we need sailing and currency (probably calendar and or construction too) before that.
Actually I'm wondering if a good'ol fin colossus coast strategy would work, skipping currency to go full coast economy. That would mean sailing->MC->IW->machinery is possible, followed by calendar and construction OR guilds. Guilds before currency would be fun actually. Anyway I'm most likely going currency after sailing. And I don't see the point of OBing Retep (I think it was him, I'll check next turn) when I can't benefit from it at all while he can. The mess is not your fault, Grimace is the one responsible for it.

OB would be for TR, hence after Sailing (or an I missing some recent mod change? I guess it was smeg that eliminated the foreign TR bonus?). Crossbow consideration was for an alternative world where we would've oracled machinery I like colossus over currency, especially if we're not getting foreign TR / 2ictr anytime soon. Also thy at least might only have coast to work for the time being  I'd still go construction after MC to get rid of Grimace, although careful c consideration would be needed if that would actually work
