Just a quick update to let you know that I have started my set. I'm only a turn and a half in, but I've already taken down three more Incan towns. I'm going about 5:1 in combat, but since we're over our unit support limit and heading for the end game, I've been taking greater risks than I otherwise might. I've only gotten one really stinky RNG result so far, knock on wood.
I should be able to finish out the set tonight, although each turn is taking a long time. Lots of units and lots of combats! I will try hard to finish, though, as it will get progressively more difficult for me to play as Thanksgiving approaches.
I may declare war on the Greeks (or rather, provoke them into declaring on us), depending on where the trouble spots are and what I think the gains are likely to be. Does anyone object to that in principle? It is possible I won't find it worth declaring, in which case it won't matter, but I just wanted to make sure the team didn't strongly object to doing that if it looked worth while.
