 As reparations towards the upset Mali, from whom I stole the sugar patch, I am sending a 20-turns gift of sugar and gpt. At the 10-turn mark, I'll be re-negociating HARD, with an army 2 turns from his cities 
Banking is in and the economic guerilla warfare rages on. Mercantilism has given me 15 free specialists, meaning 90 science + modifiers. It has also stripped Killer and Maarten of 30-40 gpt each in international trade routes. They now both spend 10-20% on espionage towards me while I chain spy transports to counter-espionage them both.
My golden age is over while Matrix gets his (with Mausollos extra turns). He also just finished both HG and Notre-Dame for 14 extra pop, 1 health and 2  everywhere. Damn.
 was alway going to explode in score with his extra rich land but the oceanic expansion has been fruitful for me. With 9 small island fishing wharfs, I'm about to get 30 more scientists and 2 kick-ass military blacksites, all off the radar.
Meanwhile, his GA GNP is under 300 and my 0% all-specialist science rate is over 300. Add to that a GSci to bulb chemistry and I'll have muskets before they have knights, cannons before they have muskets, and draft riflemen before they have cannons.
