Out of the fog is stronger, but here's what I'm thinking:
- We hit out of the fog
- THEN we fork half his continent.
How does he counter that, if he can't slam a stack of Galleons (and he needs to outnumber us 2:1 because odds) into ours in the 1t that he gets?
EDIT: What scooter said.

To build on this... How about we build several more Galleys now while we're teching Econ-Astro, then mass-upgrade. We'll want some of our Galleons to be empty because he'll have quite a few Galleons ready I imagine, so we'll want to be able to lose a few Galleons without losing units. Also we keep cranking Zerks from Orioles of course. I think the Moai city in particular really needs to go down. If that happens, we've seriously crippled his ship production ability on the ocean between us, and from there we should be able to control and dictate naval combat pretty easily. Once Astro comes in, build wealth and/or run merchants everywhere for the upgrades.

Normal orientation
Flying camera to rotate 90 degrees. I have also marked a tile that forks 3 of Yuris' cities. Not sure we can get our whole force down there though....

I was going to take the piss out of your BPT, then I realized that I was at breakeven at 10% tech at that point in PB5. Still, interesting to compare the BPT between PBs 5, 8 and 13.

I wonder if Commodore would join your crusade against the Mackoti.

We only got Optics 3 turns ago, so my bet is no.
