Avoiding Balance of Power?

[Zukatah]

I say we can't avoid BoP but it would be much better if Eucledia declared war first on GC, they would move their troops to the north and we could take them by surprise. With their immortals they stand a pretty good chance on their side and with our swordsmen, the odds aren't so bad on our side...

Quoting 40J:
And, here's a little something to chew on: they are going to have Iron Working next turn.

Can we verify this, please? Not verbally, but "on screen".

I'm not sure if there's a good way to accomplish that (although I'd really like to have visual confirmation from within the game too).

My comments were taken directly from the chat we had on Friday, when they as much as spelled it out for us that they were going to discover IW in 1 turn.
