Indeed, there are 12 GS ready to attack Paris. It is not very risky since many will retreat. It's Meli's call but worth a shot certainly. There should be no more than 5 or may be 6 muketeers there, probably possible to take it even on this turn.

And the game won't last to Communism obviously. We just need the Pyramids and some more cities, may be indeed set a ship chain to ferry settlers and workers to this mighty Indian/Iro jungle from the core once Universities there are ready. Seems possible to whip there as needed also but might be a bit too early.

Time to start to vulture if we can get settlers to foreign war zones. The wide spread of muskets and knights and the imminent cav probably mean a halt to our warring.

We don't need more land, we need more cities I think. Pyramids sure, but I don't think we need to worry about any other land aquisition.

Any effort to get more land would cost us way too much. I say we disband Units when needed. The great Jungle in former India has enough spots for a huge number of new cities.

Once core cities have completed their cultural buildings they should build whatever military unit doesn't waste too many shields and send it to the corrupt wastelands.

Hmm, lets find the letter of the law, since any adding to cities would be useful.
IIRC you can add - just not for the sole purpose of rushing that city (so you can't add 3 and rush 60 shields). It does beg the question: can we add at all since every city will be whipped at some point?

For example, the Chinese land is fully improved there. There is no sense to let the workers travel for 20 turns to get to Carthaginian land. IMHO, we can join them up there in Chinese land and whip them. But not too many. Just some and only in improved area. Massive abuse would be against the rule. But small here and there seems might be OK. We ain't joining them specifically to whip, there is just nothing left for them to do and too far to travel to where their effort is needed.
