Gothmog vs. Skyfish ***Spoiler***

Well, I opened up the save and what did I see?

Those sneaky Iroquoi! What could they be upto? I thought I saw them moving that way when I saved the last turn but I wasn't sure. Most of my army is in the south waiting for ten more turns to attack Germany, the borders of both his cities just expanded (libraries?) and I had to reposition my troops.

I decided to take full advantage of the Iroquoi in this trade.

If they don't declare war on me, I will have to do so on them. I upgraded all local warriors to swords and moved some spears north and west as you can see in the image above. I am thinking I will start prosecuting war on the Germans next turn too. Either declaring, or just moving next to their cities and refusing to move then declaring the following turn. I got the techs I was going to extort from them from the Iroquois. I'll want to own my whole continent anyway, and I am sure Sky feels the same way. So who cares about rep? I was really just holding off out of reflex, and waiting for the Germans to get some more troops that I can fish for leaders.

As soon as I click 'next turn' this totally predictable action occurs.

One mounted warrior attacks New York and loses to one of my swords there. I didn't want to fight the Iroquois until I at least had pikes, but I'll just play a defensive war for a while and make them pay for peace. Their initial force is not much, no SOD of mounted warriors that could really hurt me. Two more MW's moved towards me in the IT, and one was covering a settler. That must be the rational for war, a settling a resource in my territory. Once I get Knights I'll wipe them out.
