Is that a concession?

On a relevant note, that gpt does not look healthy.

Nah, we deserve a bit more showdown than this. Just disappointed that Pin isn't willing to fight Thoth with me; my trash economy means he could win a 1v1 with me, but there's no way he could beat Thoth 1v1. 

My GPT is trash, but I will launch golden ages #1 and 2 and try to hit MilTrad or Chemistry in one last push.

Thoth declared war on me *and* Pindicator. Here we go.

Is Pindicator going to actually fight full-out? He can probably win if he does, but if he peaces out then Thoth wins, it's as easy as that.

So, invasion was not as successful as it might have been...

...but I'm cleaning up a lot of crap from the water invasion. Need nothing but privateers for a long long time.

Thoth is locking down the rather passive Pindicator without much work, smart. This ain't getting beat without a stack of 40+ units.

I'm going to be pumping privateers next, now until the end of time (Amphibeous Grens).

Feel free to ask any questions. This is a war easily winnable with Engaged Pin, but he's inert.

OK, here's a question: how does each player win from this point, in your opinion?

"How do we fix cuirassiers' weird positioning on the tech tree?"

What haven't I. Multiple different options, timings, resources...nothing. He's only at war because Thoth declared on him.

Thoth wins by default; just spend the bare minimum to keep Inert Pin occupied, beat me in a duel with better tech (amphibious grens/frigates over muskets/privateers).

I win by Pin waking up enough to tip the scales in my direction slightly, particularly in the Inner Sea, then I manage to claim enough Thoth land to win domination.

Pin wins by carefully balancing Just Enough to counterbalance Thoth's superior empire but not enough for me to win, techs up to the Impossible Tier Tech (Destroyers) and wrecks face.

Aye, unfortunately the lack of wrap made joining in a Thoth dogpile without a land border negative-sum.
