On Sid's Sushi Co:
We will benefit quite a bit from spreading this corp to our cities, as we have a sea food heavy economy. At the same time, if we do this, we will be boosting Team Amazons economy by each and every city we spread the Corporation to. Team Amazon has requested that we do not spread the Corporation to any of the other two teams (which I find strange - does anyone have any thoughts on why the Amazons have requested this?), which is a request I personally think is fair and something we should definitely honour.
I propose that we spread Sid's Sushi Co to all our cities on the main continent to get a culture boost to all those cities. Doing so also gives us leverage in a closer cooperation with Team Amazon as we will be directly fueling their economy by doing so, and if we are to have any hopes of attaining a higher rank than 4th in this game, I think we need to rely on the cooperation of Team Amazon if we intend to perform military operations.
With that said, the prospect of military actions is a bit frightening to me. I have little to no experience with warmongering, as my favored victory paths in single player games have always been the non-war ones. The only times I have pursued Domination victories is when I have an overwhelming force, and we do most definitely not have an overwhelming force as things are right now. So, in the event we are to go to war, I will need a tactician/strategist who can work with me on calculations etc. I hope we have someone on the team who have the time and will to assist with that in the beginning of a military action, so that I learn how to do the maths and calculations - if we go to war that is.
