Here's the power graph.
 Sian is... 1 tech away from MT ? I don't know what to say, he might be researching it right now but I can't be sure. As you can see from the power graphs I can only expect for Retep to do most of the fighting. I'll take the lightly defended cities to my south, and try to hold on to the west (not enough units there to mount an offensive I fear, although I may try anyway). He needs to draw Sian's main stack with his units or I have no chance
I'm going to declare war next turn, because it makes more sense for both Retep and I to declare in the same turn, so in the best of worlds it should go I declare->he declares->Sian gets to react, and I don't think Retep will go to war before me anyway. So I'll just have to hope that it will go as in the best of worlds.
The first decision to make was what to change civic-wise. I chose to go into nationhood for 5t because I want the ability to emergency draft. I'm staying in Caste System because there are some borders I want to pop and some culture wars I want to win, and without those unlimited specialists many cities would be working suboptimal specialists.
 But that's not what you came here for, is it ?    It was a trade of 5 knights 2 cats and 2 trebs for 5 longbows 1 crossbow 2 axes a WE a musket and 2 pikes. Next turn I have a shot at those two cities.  My greatest worry is this stack of 21 knights and a medic GG impi that can definitely harm me.  As you can see I'm now the score leader. It's not a good thing as it means Retep might want to reconsider his stance towards me. I'm also first in demos, except in the power one. 
Retep did nothing... I sent him a copper for copper + OB offer anyway but I'm really not sure what he'll do.
The war situation is bad...      If Retep doesn't declare war this turn I'm screwed. Sian can see how weak I am in the west and his best choice is to to through the south, get his knight stack into former Grimaceland and take the land for himself. In the east his 1 mover stack can keep my stack busy so it doesn't reinforce the west. If Retep attacks I think Sian will have to take his 1 movers east to defend, which means I can try to deal with the knight stack. The other main problem is that Sian got MT last turn, so cuirs are coming. As you can see in the last picture which is end-of-turn I'm getting gunpowder next turn, then I still have 4 or 5t before MT.
Actually if next turn Retep hasn't attacked I'm going to send Sian a peace offer for all the cities I took him plus maybe gold or something. My GA makes me really strong, and by the end of the 10t peace the Grimace cities will be going full speed and building cuirs.
