That's one reason why I'm hesitating, another reason is that it does not have cottages. However, it has quite a few forests to be chopped. I'm OK to skip.

Ignore Golden Sands for the time being, unless you have some spare Workers to chop into fail gold (probably not, with Bacon Sandwich and Cornish Cow nearby). We could always chop those Forests into a later wonder for 
, e.g. the Taj or Kremlin.
I don't like to base strategy on the hidden requirement, but, besides needing gold for research, it seems entirely possible that we will need to spread the corp to all our cities. So building Wealth and then chopping multiple Forests into a wonder we need anyway could be very profitable in the mid/late game.
----
My only opinion about the capital's Forest is that it shouldn't go into fail gold.
Either chop it in order to complete the Pyramids, or chop it after we are in OR into Oxford.
Keep an eye on HC, to see if he switches into Vassalage (if he hasn't already).

That's good. If the Mids go before we don't "lose" the chop in fail gold, if it doesn't wait for the chop to complete the Mids in 1 turn
T109
Toku produce a spear in capital
Anyway ready to attack!

BTW, it turned out that Toku's stack is protecting a settler heading south.
Not much to say in the next few turns. All about war.
Will proceed further in a hour or 2, would be nice if someone doubt check the situation.

No point in speculating on the hidden objective of course, but that would indeed be consistent with MGNs end game score decline... (mass whipping of Execs)

+200GPT is pretty good. With the 700 we already have and war loot from Toku, we might actually get to have a 100% science slider for quite a while once OU is built...
Should we consider trading for Feud? Then again we might extort it from Toku.
--------------------
AP is Confucian (so much for our calculations
), and for the record I have a feeling HC's next wonder in progress is Parth

You don't need to work tomorrow, do you?
Don't have proper tech to trade, I'm looking for MC trade, hopefully Nappy is researching now and Alex is going to research next.

No you're rightYou don't need to work tomorrow, do you?

The save looks good. 
In terms of wonders, HC has built as expected (with an unexpected chop in capital) and Vienna has kept a constant 44 HPT rate:
If we chop 500H into the Pyramids on T112, we will get it, right?
We could also bribe HC into Pacifism on T111. The cost is 125G at the moment. We'd probably have to give up Music.
He won't whip, as he is running Caste.

Good news that Tokugawa isn't in Vassalage. Let's hope his Archers stay Archers.
If Toku moved his Chariots/HArchers to the new Settler, do we need another unit for safety in Thessalonica:
IIRC correctly, the mechanics for threatening cities with Aggressive AI is twice as effective. Units need to be spread across multiple tiles. This will only matter if we need to ceasefire.

Shall I proceed? and let pomthom taste something similar as we did last time!
Ahh, Spy failed, and CGIII LBs and WE!Spoiler :
P.P.S. real Deity players don't destroy any Courthouses they capture.

That's a bit more than twisting the truth
Promoting a HA to Shock now would still pick Spear as 1st defender right?
I refuse to help due to the quantity and content of the spoilers.
Do you to run some tests? I'm happy to do so.
A test would show whether a Shock promotion causes a CGIII Archer to defend instead.
EDIT: without testing, I'd probably use 3x Combat II Horse Archers against the top defenders. 0XP units can take the ~95% battles and promote/heal after.
