Anything you would like to see in my reports?
Blood! Mayhem! Murder!
More seriously, your domestic situation would be interesting to see, demos and an zoomed-out overview shot of your lands. And of course the war you are about to fight, but I'm sure we'll get to see that. Oh, and I'd be curious how you think the other players are doing right now, if you've got the time/energy to think about it.

Can do next turn.

Some overview maps? I don't think you've shown your empire since about the time of the Pindi war.

Moai, a decent cottage farm, and my recent "conquest" from JackRB. I have minor defensive measures in place vs Jack. Mainly crossbows and eventually some catapults. I have full vision so ill know a bit before he attacks/if he attacks. Im "willing" to give up the city he gave me, if it gets me a safe border.
the "main" core of the empire. Capital i didnt setup for commerce, because well... i like production. Red was my first commerce city, and while it isnt top dog anymore, it does contribute a decent amount to the war effort. Mt.Silver on the other hand... Is running a huge food surplus and has room to grow onto more cottages, the mines are there to help finish grocers/ect. Probably could be replaced by windmills or cottages? On the far right you will find my border city with Mjmd which is somewhat safe? Top left you will see my only source of iron up until recently when i got pindi's hooked up. That city works some cottages and has been whipping some knights before it begins building a small 2 galley force to take on Cornflakes's island holdings.
Starting on the far left, Pallet Town is my border city with Cornflakes/Cairo and will be a decent gnp city in the future. Mew in the middle is transitioning from a pure/hybrid gnp/production onto more production for the time being. Behind the Copper bubble is Mewtwo which is basically highest base hammer city if you dont count my moai. I will probably stuff it full of GG's and HE/Westpoint for an attempt at having a commando farm later if the game goes that long. Jinx on the far right is a little fishing village, working some cottages to help pay for its own upkeep. Rounding out these cities is Cinnabar which will be another nice commerce city with plenty of cottages/food to work.
Last two cities, starting with Lugia: a glorified filler/cottage city that will also be part defensive fort vs both Cornflakes and JackRB. The Ex-Pindi city is growing to maximize its production and im debating whether i save those forests for an eventual (i know... i know) city NW of the crab, or if i put those forests into more military NOW.

I have completely mapped out his units, and unless he has a stack hiding on one of those fogged tiles (and between the 9knights +gg and the 5mace/5cat stacks i dont believe he does) i should have good odds to go far with my attack. Especially if Ginger commits early enough that those maces dont join the defense down south.
Cairo has a HUGE stack of outdated but fun to use Cho-Ko-Nu's along with plenty of galleys for them to hop on. I suspect his normal (non pb43) self is just not in the game, and will probably just declare total war vs Mjmd, which depending on how the Cornflakes war goes, will hand the game to Ginger (75%) Myself (20%) or maybe Mjmd (5%). Bing doesnt have the land or tech. Cairo hasnt been playing as well as he could from his position and if i get a peace deal while his chuckles are elsewhere, i could grab a TON of land from him.. JackRB has less than 1% chance of winning, and it would involve some really well timed attacks on myself while something else goes wrong?
Anything else i should add?

My demos are slipping a bit, but Mjmd is in a GA and Ginger has Mids/better leader.
Lets see if i can make do with this..
He can either lose his fortify on his mace to grab the worker (doubtful) or that worker helps build the road of conquest
He is going to need to WHIP. If he whips hard/hard enough and i can grab a couple cities im fine taking a peace treaty and teching. I have a pretty good plan of what i want to do/how i want to win this game. I do put Ginger's chance a bit higher than mine with Mjmd slightly below me.

Sent my usual "you have been declared on" pm to Cornflakes. Im... on edge on what he might do on his turn. Soooo many options. Im hoping he just defends core cities, maybe hits Ginger's stack with his main stack... But far more likely he will hit me after double whipping cats everywhere.

Thanks for the overviews! They were great. Are you still building/whipping units, or have you transitioned back to econ, or a mixture of the two?

Currently still building units due to JackRB moving his stack(s) towards my border. Once someone else declares, ill try and get a city out of the deal and run mass wealth while pushing for a certain tech..
