T123
Miguelito adopted slavery and PoliceState. The arm race continous. I wonder who will be his objective. I keep building units in 4 cities, although I try to keep them in cue to save the expenses.

Yeah, he is definitely attacking someone. It's important to not be the weakest power around right now, so even if that costs more in unit upkeep it is worth a lot more to not be attacked. I would suggest more catapults first.

Okay, looking at that picture closer.... he's double your power now. Build catapults everywhere and start whipping them.

Dodo Tier Player  T124 A Miguelito's small pile appeared in the south east. 4Cataphracs, 4 catas, 4 axes and 1 spear. In the pic I show what I have now. The axes without tag are usually a couple of axes and spears. I send an spy to the east of St Pete to see if someone is coming in this way. It is the way I fear the most. About research I had planned going for Civil Service-Paper-Education, but I don't know if it time to make Feudalism (should be in 5 turns) 
Cataphracts? Not sure what you can do against strength 12 units except hope to catch his stack with your catapults. But you still need more catapults for that to work. And probably more elephants too due to the cataphracts.
I would either put every unit in Yaroslavl or just put the archers and spears in Yaroslavl and keep the rest where your elephants and catapults are now. But stop building Wealth, you need unit numbers more than anything else right now. Use the slavery whip option wherever it is not at penalty. I know in PB52 you said you were amazed at how fast I put together a horse archer army: that is how I did it. I whipped my cities mercilessly. I'm not sure if Civil Service is still a good idea. We just might not be around that long now.

Dodo Tier Player  T125 Miguelito conquered Yaroslav. His wounded pile is a 3 tiles of St Pete. Not much can be done against Cataphrats of 12 strenght.
I don't think I would blame anyone for throwing in the towel here. But that said ...
if you want to try and hodl out the longest, I would move everything to St Petersburg, and then from there fall back to the capital. Only shot to do anythign here is to get to hit his stack with catapults first.

It is my fault, I don't have the sense of whipping and keeping produccing units in a balanced way. I was afraid of the cost of produccing so many units. I have to learn a lot.
And now, the superiority is so overhelming that I don't feel like thinking much about defense.

I think worrying about unit costs is a bit like putting the car tin front of the horse. In MP units are really the end goal of every game. Buildings get you to better units or building units faster. But units in the end rule the day.
I think one of the biggest lessons I learned was that having more units than the other guy means so much more than I thought. Having the better technology unit is nice, but then it wins its first fight and is damaged and can be killed by lesser units. That can even work with cataphracts. But you have to have more units to win wars, generally.
