We need a vote on where and when to infiltrate as well. I think we want to infiltrate the western witches so we can better assess if we want to make a run for Philosophy with or without a Golden Age.
The earliest the great spy near Gandhi could infiltrate would be T102
The great spy in Stone City can infiltrate on T103
Advantages
-get at least 1 more turn scouting in western witches culture before we decide to trigger a GA.
Disadvantage
-delays getting the information we need to make a switch to caste system, and so it might make getting a great scientist as early as possible more difficult. Although I think it would still be possible to get the great scientist by T106 with w T103 GA and switch to caste system. A non-GA switch to caste system and run for a great scientist might be delay however (need to do the numbers for both possibilities still... anyone?)
-delays an infiltration of the northern witches for 20+ turns. (if we decide to not trigger a GA)
Right now my vote is to infiltrate T103 with the great spy from Stone City. Then stop and debate the philosophy question and the GA question.
If everyone else can vote or express their arguments in the next 24 hours, then we can get WW's turn going...
Can we table this decision? We need to see what our tech trades will tell us and discuss this before we can even get a GSpy into Gandhi's land. We don't need to commit yet, do we?
