One of the longest mornings ever seen 

Yes, Chengdu is the only city we can keep. being small it comes out of revolt in 5 turns or so. We must raze the others, even Beijing... pity.
I think we must try to see if a 263 victory is doable.
I've seen many troops in Dur and Babyl. I think i can keep 1 infantry+ 1 musket, some outdated troops and move the rest.
If Gergovia must pop a GA before Verlamion it needs a lot of MM. A 263 victory will avoid this problem.
We must plan this carefully.
Another thing about Diplo:edit: On the diplo vote:
Our population alone, not including vassals - correct.
We must be below the threshold at the start of the turn of the vote (i.e. after other civs get to grow, whip, etc.), and also at the start of the following turn when the results are announced.
This is the plan, period.(ZPV)The UN has a 6 turn election cycle, not 5.
e.g.
We start building it on t257
We get the wonder movie, and a sec. gen. election on t258
Then there is a vote on t264, and victory announced on t265
THis can be an answer. 7 more settlers, or 5 if the 2 small cities come out of revolt in time for the diplo vote.So we need 80 squares. At least 9 cities then.
