the fastest way to reach pacal is via a chariot taking the straight land route. we cant be blocked either
-> the trireme should stay home and protect our lines to the central continent. if we are cut from our city there with the horses, its game over. we need to establish a firm landhold there, getting more cities out then Q and attack them within the next 30-50 turns with numbers.
-> my 2 cents:
play nice, try to reach pacal via the landroute, get 3-4 strong cities up on then central continent, grow them, go police state at a certain point and start unit spam
only thing we need to do DOW before Q reaches maces or lbs. but in my opinion they will lean back and research wonder and peace techs thinking we are beaten already. let them bleed and pay later for that
-> this game isnt over. it just turned into a game where we can neglect economy and builder/wonder techs. in the military race we are far from beaten
... ...lets show the allies what we are capable of i´d say
-> stop diplo with the allies, or send fake messages with please for trades or help, to hide our gearing up for war...
