Part of me wants it to slow Spulla down a little, but I have to agree that despite the amount of emails being sent back and forth, the idea seems very unorganized so far. That, and Jowy's
diplo may move India to annex Greece before the attack can even start in earnest.
It also remains to see if Whosit will be able to field more than a token force while securing his own borders from possible Korean aggression, and whether Dantski and DMOC/Nakor can stay on friendly terms for much longer. A lot of relations can sour in the next 25 turns..
Anyway, I do have to compliment the Ottomans for their efforts so far. Whether or not the CoW is ultimately succesful, they are more less succeeding in knocking a strong contender out of the game, deflecting the diplomacy fallout from declaring on the Byzantines, and turning most civs against the other powerhouse, all whilst setting themselves up to be the next runaway civ. I just wonder how long it will take the other CoW-participants to realize it.
