How many units do you have? Axe to spear ratio?

Well I'm not getting the turn today, so can't check. But I fear it will be a very one-sided war, because I was at 0.5 of his power. I'm at the awkward spot with barracks' built in prep for unit production, but low on units. Those barracks' are not gonna fight for me.

Didn't seem too bad, then I noticed the other galleys.

First HA withdrew with his 20% chance to do that, then the second HA killed the spear with 23% chance.
It kinda looks like I'll be able to hole up and drag this out. I'd rather be done with it, but I have to do my best for the sake of the other players.

Sniped one of his axes with a chariot. That will make it harder for him to smash through cities since he's already low on melee units.
He can capture Tom-Tom if he goes for it, but that will give me more time to reinforce Raven and Mercy.

Piccadilly attacked the capital:
This time he didn't win any low % battles. He did win both ~60% ones, so a little luck still in there, but not enough.
Cornflakes surprised Piccadilly and razed the captured city. I don't mind it, thanks for the help. At this point the goal is to hurt Piccadilly.
The HA's can't take Raven, so they are retreating to the galleys. I sent a few spears after them to clean up any that can't fit into the boats.
I'm sending back my island settler to re-settle Soulcatcher. I had delayed using him anyway because I didn't want to give Piccadilly a free city that I can't defend.
It looks like 1 city might be Piccadilly's loot for this attack, but that one city is a holy city. Could I possibly get it back or raze it at some point?

For the second time, Piccadilly is sent running back home. I offered peace to have him stop pillaging.

Peace was accepted btw and he managed to get the HA's off anyway so nothing lost on my side.
Piccadilly should attack again soon. But I will go for catapults and use them if he's too slow.

Cornflakes sent me his only incense, for this reason:
I could challenge the fish tile, but since he was nice about it, I will let him have it.

Here's a dilemma: If you spam ancient era units, you'll make it more painful to conquer you, but the gold cost will remove any chance of advancing in tech.
No signs of attack yet other than a HA waiting to board a galley. The next 15 turns will decide whether we get eliminated early or "get to" stick around.
