Interesting point. One that I didn't think of. We might just have to rush some boats and sink a couple of boat loads of their troops. Maybe then they'll back off. Also, put some Trebs in our coastal cities so we can bombard any approaching vessel/landing party. We should have a large enough stack to take out the Inca without too much Treb help. Finally, if we protect our Aztec lands better, maybe Maya won't see us as such an easy target.
Finally, we need to get to communism in order to really start getting our empire moving. I'd suggest getting Japan and America up to speed tech wise to see if we can't start to accelerate this tech trend.

lurker's comment:
Best way to speed AI science output is to buy from them for gpt and ship them luxuries. I have tracked that phenomenon often enough to believe the tactic is effective. The key is that the AI does not use the luxury slider and prefers hiring clowns. Buying for cash allows them to upgrade troops as they will not deficit spend to support science. So the combination of buying for gpt and shipping luxes lets them put citizens back to work for more gold and allows them them to turn up the sceince rate even more.
That's why it is very important to use tax collectors in outer corrupt towns in your government form. YOuget no commercial bonus and you have high susceptibility to war weariness. Blood suckers help you boost income and control war weariness.
In other items your most important infrastructure in the core and next ring out is the marketplace/courthouse/bank combo. You need the commercial boost you get from those three buildings.

Right, AK and I had that conversation earlier in the thread. We are Ok to go to communism, but if we ever learn facism, we'd have to switch to that.

I may do an idiot move and trade for Fascism if we get far enough ahead

IT: Lincoln demands gunpowder, no
1270: Replace Nasca with Hamburg 2
IT: Maya building Magellans
1275: Plant Konigsberg 2
1280: Build Frankfurt 2. Replace Chuito with Munich 2
1285: Replace Atequipa with Heidelberg2
Nothing else. Every other turn, the Maya keep landing LB and spears that I had to dither with. We're ready to go against the Inca when the current deal is done. Remember to raise everything but the wonder cities. Idiots like to stare at big shiny wonders that work miricales and go "ooh". Building boats to use to go punish the maya with after we retake New Hannover. WW hasn't been an issue so far.
Don't forget about the power of fishing villages.

I razed the 2 Incan towns because they were awkwardly placed. You should be able to put 2 new towns in cxxc spacing to replace the two I razed. The existing one should be Ok.
