Almost all my mounted units had 3 promos, I just didn't have any reason to promote them yet.

I have so much collateral, and I've had steel for 2 turns already. Somehow, despite being near-bottom GNP, my tech rate remains pretty decent. Must be the combination of org+courthouses+small empire.
Don't think I'll be going past steel though, Railroad is just too expensive, it'll take 20 turns to research it and steam power, which is like 7 turns of gold saving, for a total of 27.
The galleons were on the way this turn/next, I was stuck building enough army to keep your stack from marching through Sneatonthorpe + keeping enough army and navy positioned around to keep from getting rolled over by OH or revenge invaded by Rusten with infantry. I would have picked off cities outside of the bastion city but to me the combination of tech parity + you not having any direct threats besides me so you could just stack a single city was a problem I couldn't overcome when I had to look three different directions at the same time.
