The Sleeper
First off big-time kudos to DS for pointing us down this path to finding castles. Secondly, thanks to the number crunchers for getting the evidence we needed to prove it. I wonder how many other teams are going to catch this subtle difference.
Does a quick chopped GW make sense at this point?
Or would a GSpy throw off our Great People plans (ie make it more expensive to pop our GS's)
I would think a GSpy would be an excellent way to scout out Toku (no fear of capture) as well as get the necessary points to revolt his capital.
Oracle still in Golden Fleece for the culture pressure and taking of the corn tile still makes a ton of sense.
Keep this in mind with all of our planning. If we are going to take out Toku, we need to plan on finishing the job before he gets to longbows and/or Samurai. I dread the thought of longbows in Kyoto.
I was actually also thinking of GW and Gspy. I only have no experience whatsoever with real spying. I believe there's a lot of factors that influence the cost of missions, including religions, city distances, holy cities etc. I remember in the previous game Kakumeika even gifting cities near themselves to AI to make missions cheaper... Anyway, maybe someone with more knowledge of spies can shine their light on it.
