War Plan (Go / No-Go decision will occur T146)
To get 30xp for a Great General, beating up on Sitting Bull by burning down Poverty Point and then fighting Dog Soldiers and Longbows on open ground is a decently cheap way of doing it.
Trireme + Caravel vs. Galleys is also a good match up at sea for many turns.
We don't want too much war weariness, so we will just be burning down the 1 city, killing any navy, and pillaging mostly.
Silver City, Canal City, and Whale City should all have a +2
buffer due to anger wearing off in 10 turns and whale resource coming online, so WW should not be a problem.
"Fight brothers and sisters of the faith" anger only occurs in Size 13 cities I think and we don't have any of those.
-3 diplo from DOW
-2 diplo from razing city
-2 diplo from losing Open Borders
After the war is done, hopefully we can sign Open Borders with a Pleased or Cautious Sitting Bull for trade routes with 5 or 6 AI cities since all of our cities will have 4 trade routes due to Free Market.
So we will be aiming to have a Spy perform Revolt on Poverty Point (which is on a hill +25% defense) before the DOW, or if the city is only 20% defenses perhaps move the spy down to the capital?
Amphibious attack from our territory with 4 Muskets and 2 Chariots should be possible.
The defenders get a +50% defense bonus due to the sea attack.

Caravel Plan
If Great Merchant born in Profit City, it will reach the mainland on T140
It can board the Cow City Caravel produced on T141 and sail to Silver City
The Caravel can explore a few turns before coming back for Sushi exec.
Upgrade Trireme 3E1S of Canal City to a Caravel on T137 for 50
T138 - Great Scientist boards and the Caravel sails east.
T139 - T140 keeps sailing east and then southeast to get +1
circumnavigation bonus in between T140 and T141.
T141 - If no land spotted, immediately head back to keep Clam City safe from Sitting Bull galleys
Trireme
T145+ Guards the southern flank of Canal City 4S1E of our territory.
Any blockade of the Sitting Bull capital would promote SB to build Galleys.
We can get more aggressive with this boat once we have the Canal City Great Person born on T147.
Spy
T144 - Unload in Poverty Point and immediately start building spy bonus
T146 - With -20% cost from waiting, trigger City Revolt for 0.8*754 = 604
out of our total of 612
Definitely if the city has 40% defenses from popping borders at 100
due to Totem Pole being there forever.
If city is 20% defenses, reconsider using spy revolt.
T146 - If Spy succeeds, attack Poverty Point with 4 Muskets and 2 Chariots from the sea.
