I'm considering trying to challenge OH for Liberalism to deny him Military Tradition for Cuirs (or at least make it more expensive). Outline of the plan would be to squeeze out 2 GScientists during the GA, and then stack overflow off of the multitude of cheap techs that I have available for backfilling. Research Paper to near completion, then finish it as the final overflow cascade on the turn that the 2nd GScientist is born. Double bulb Education and then 1-turn Liberalism. I wouldn't gain much from that other than a couple hundred beakers at most by taking either Nationalism or Printing Press. But the risk is low because I would be 1-turning Lib in a sequential PB where my tech completes when I hit Enter. If OH takes liberalism first then I dump that stacked overflow into another tech that I want. The other cost is the opportunity cost of what else I could research during the GA, and what else I could use the GPP to achieve.
I have research visibility on OH and he appears to be trickling specialist beakers into Education now (showing 24 turns to complete) suggesting that he doesn't intend to bulb. He has a massive treasury of over 2000 gold now so he should be ready to burn through a good chunk of research now.
