Superdeath is known to have it. I would be highly surprised if Krill didn't have it. So yeah, no wellies for Pin, just spears, xbows and cats. Which die horribly to cats and horchers if they get siege initiative.
Thoth doesn't know that Japan only needs Machinery to train its Samurai in this version of this mod.

Yep, looks like it, and I assume pindicator didn’t show any units during the phony war declaration. Very fortunate for him that he didn’t realize this when a dozen samurai walked into his borders

If I were Krill and two of my neighbors built large armies, and instead of attacking their neighbor(s) with smaller armies who they could actually conquer they came at me and my huge army for apparently no reason whatsoever... I'd be tilted off the face of the earth.

Krill has the best land (despite the map generation drama  ), one of the strongest leader/civ pairings, and is actively the front-runner. Attacking their ( relatively) weaker neighbours would take a long while to pay off, assuming the conquests even went well, and would leave Krill with free hands to either interfere in those conquests or continue to rush ahead.
I don't think dogpiling him is unreasonable even if it feels early compared to some other pitbosses.

Pindicator's choice to attack was questionable. Commodore's choice to pile on seems sensible. Superdeath is Superdeath, but at this point it might actually be reasonable for him too. Bing next?
And Pindicator's choice to attack might have been reasonable in the first place if he had worked to arrange a dogpile from the start. Imagine how screwed Krill would have been if Commodore attacked at the same time as Pindicator's original stack.
Reasonable on the basis of actual profit, that is, not just bringing down the frontrunner. It does seem a bit early for that.

Is it? He's dedicating over 600h of units, and I sort of think Krill is gonna wipe the stack.

In PB69 I noticed Pins lack of scouts in Commodores territory to watch what was happening militarily with his advance.
This game it looks like neither of them has scouts to watch the other one........ It makes coordinating an attack hard. IE Commodore is moving in, but Pin moved his stack back so its not as threatening now.

There's something extremely funny about Superdeath being at war with 3 players, and none of them are Yuris. Has anyone ever been at war with every single player in a game at least once? I think Superdeath only needs 2 more to complete his collection here. We need a term for this phenomenon.

Yeah, I had few of those games in Pbem era. I think you ned small games for this to happen.
