I think at this point Zulu takes all of India. While its an insane hail mary I'll reiterate something I said early that everyone keeps forgetting because we're all too nice - players matter. If India is say, Serdoa, they don't even try this.
Anyway, the real question is how many turns more do they last. I think Commodore is the only realistic option to kill them off but I think he'll wait once he gets control of the full starting continent. My guess is they last until Commodore has Rifles.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

It's unclear where "Normans" would go but it looks like "Vandals" and "Anglo-Saxon" will run directly into India's trirems. They would be lucky if they are going to send "Normans" up north too to cover.
Late edit. Actually, I don't think Scoopin would be able to capture India island cities until trirems sank all their galleys. This means that Nakor & Jester won't be eliminated and would be able to blokade seafood for, like, forever which is very sad for Scoopin.

Well that's one way to make sure the palace doesn't hop to IHOP. (Punny, right?)

Oh hey, I just noticed that they seemed to have pillaged the iron. That's not a bad plan.

Scooter should try to bribe Commodore with a GPT to keep White Castle. Now that he's getting ICTR galore, he should split the pie and buy himself some more time. Then cut the gpt trade when he's ready to loose the city.
That city is putting out quite a few hammers which is his only new troops to this war.

Are you sure? Scooter et al. do not have IW so it was visible to them only through tile yields if I'm not mistaken.

A desert mine is a bit of a giveaway. 
I have to run.

Would it be bad form to suggest a tributory arrangement to Scooter?
Between Scooter and Commodore: GPT for keeping the city?
