EUREKA! You just need to offer enough trade windows so that Commodore is still clicking them by the time you get a chance to log in and declare war. THAT'S IT!

What's the saying? You go to war with the army you have
Well if anything would break the Commodore, playing the turn at 4AM with a teething 10 month old daughter and messing up clicking through all of those would likely do it.

You know, I'd been thinking that AI diplo games would be improved if we limited players to making one offer per turn, because it would put a hard limit on strange communication schemes.
But your reason for doing it is good too.

Well, now I feel like a jerk... I keep forgetting about the teething daughter factor

Well, I was half-hoping for a list of demands upon starting the turn, but I guess my sense of humor is singular.
Two big things happened this turn:
1) Commodore declared war, but did not take any cities
2) Someone gave us money
Chemistry is now due in 2, no doubt. We can have 5 frigates in 2 turns. And I don't plan on stopping there.
Edit: Dang it, Caravels don't auto-upgrade to frigates. Well, Frigates in 3 turns then.

I was hoping someone would appreciate that line. I'm not ashamed to say I made myself laugh while typing that.

Some good news for a change!

Well, I thought caravels would auto-upgrade to frigates in the build queue. But I tested it and they do not, so...

I think triremes might upgrade to frigates in queue...
Anyway the funny part about asking everyone for money at the same time is that we don't know who to pay back, theoretically.
