That seems a good plan to me. Go for it 

Since almost the first turn you have beat us up for not having enough scientists. So I go and I painstakingly manage every one of those cities to get every bit of science out of them, and now we are being "over-aggressive." We weren't losing any productivity from the scientists in the core, because they came off water tiles. So the question is... can anyone ever make Lee completely happy?LKendter said:We do have to be careful about being over-aggressive with scientist in the core. Due to the multipliers I can stop starving Two Fish without losing any science. Size 1 cities such as Arathorn shouldn't have any scientist, as the goal it to grow the city first.
There for a moment I thought I messed up, because I was going all over with our armies.Greebley said:Since armies cannot go past 5 of our borders, I need settlers to continue to attack the AI.
[Edit: Ignore this part. I am getting my games confused - I am so used to playing Lee's AW. We can go anywhere with the armies. It is me who is being silly]
I have no question they will attack. I haven't looked at the game, so I have no idea if we including covering muskets and at least one bombard unit.I sent some Cavalry up to attack Arabia for the Lux. Their best unit is sword. Not sure if they will attack. We have 5-6 more units on the way. Since no leader we had no armies we were able to send.
