My point being that they will have a better chance to take out india by concentrating on economy now, while India are tied up fighting, and teching an advantage. Then hit them.
Everyone's response to India being good was to dog pile them, fair enough, the other response would be to watch everyone else dog pile them and play their game.
I know Spulla have a vast amount of talent and experience but, surely someone else could have gotten into a similar situation? All India did really was build cottages as soon as they could and get an early academy. How hard would it have been for one of the other financial civs to do something along the lines of that? (Academy aside, fair enough PHI lends to it)
India played to their strengths - Fast worker/PHI/FIN - what did everyone expect?
Dantski could have just sent a few skirmishers early doors. 3 or them would have been an immense headache! They wouldn't have chopped an library so soon, they wouldn't have got a GS so soon, the others might have built some cottages earlier etc... It snowballs seems to be the phrase Sulla likes the most!
India can be beaten, and may well be once the praets arrive, but they were never going to be beaten by sending axes and spears.
