Definitely looks like there's a way to bypass Harar and attack Addis Ababa. As long as keep a few units near Harar, so that Nic doesn't realise what's going on until it's too late. Need to prepare properly, so will be a few turns before I can launch this attack - but Addis Ababa would be a good prize if I can get it
In this terrain, siege units might actually be useful? Especially with my Physics beeline giving me early access to Trebuchets - they should be strong at this point of the game. Definitely worth considering
Meanwhile HAK seems to be preparing another attempt to capture Adwa. Although he seems to undervalue ranged units - I htink he doesn't have anywhere near enough
Also pictured is HAK's newest city, which quickly adopted Judaism and gave me that little bit of extra income. I'm also close to converting Cusco. With the first Markets almost ready as well, I should be out of financial hole in a few turns
Science wise, I'm still hoping to finish Physics by T100 - I'm currently 2 beakers short, but one of the cities is growing this turn, and that should give me the missing beakers. Hopefully I will get that great prophet by then as well. With that and extra food from Civil Service (which will be my research target after Physics) I should catch up to Ichabod at least in crop yield...
...but I will definitely catch up if I capture Hanging Gardens in Addis Ababa. So that's definitely a big price I'm still hoping to win
