We got a Great Spy. We have a great scientist, so we can pop out a new GA.
We have rifling and should be able to get astronomy quickly. This will hurt our research, but it's time we start making war to expand and we need galleons for that.
We have no chance of winning, but we can have some fun

Did you say war?  Do you have operative plans and lines on the map?

good lord, no.
My plans are:
Build rifles.
Get astronomy
Build/upgrade
Go attack DS and take the remnants of his empire.
Then go attack GKC or Gavagai.
Then wait for Rusten to run over us (since it's him or OH and Rusten is the closest)

One thing I do need to do is be better about turn splits if I'm going to attack DS. I'm pretty sure Rusten is attacking him and he is going 2nd, so I should do the same. I figure I'm 3 or 4 turns from actually attacking (need the galleons), plus need to figure out where his units will go that are in our territory.
I think that what we should really do is just let Rusten and OH attack each other and concede to whoever comes out on top

So, DS's closest city has an LB, 2 skirmishers, an xbow and a cat, and a 65% defense. Means I need probably 3 or 4 galleons worth of rifles to take it. I could DOW, drop a stack, go back and refill the ships and attack the next turn with 4 galleons of rifles and only 2 galleons. I'll have to take a look at that.
GKC sent me a copper for copper trade. I turned it down, mainly cause I have no idea what that means. Any idea?

We attacked!! an empty city. DS is moving all his units to face Rusten. We did manage to kill a chariot.
Honestly, I wish he had left some behind - I'm researching Mil Science, but we need some GG for Miltary academies.

Took a 2nd undefended city. DS is apparently throwing everything at Rusten and giving us this side of the empire. This somewhat screws us. Hopefully, I'll catch up to enough units to get a GG or two. Or maybe I'll just attack GKC, as well.
But we are, by far, the weakest civ.

Well, Rusten and I are both attacking DS. DS has some muskets, but mainly medieval. I have rifles.
Rusten has infantry, so he's gonna win
Except..
OH and Commodore both Dow'd Rusten. So who knows what will happen?

I'm probably going to attack GKC in a few turns - I really need to get some GG for mil academies, to up military production. This is the last piece where being imp is a massive advantage - GG fast. But DS keeps running away
I have cannons, so infantry isn't as scary - still scary, but not as bad.
We are still the weakest (except for DS, who is on his way out. Even if OH distracts Rusten, we'll finish off DS)

poor pindicator. Not that I think it matters - OH is steadily eating some of Rusten's cities. I presume they aren' core cities, but he's taken a bunch. If OH can break Rusten, we might as well all concede.
