Because of the tech lead Omega has on us, I added that Great Engineer to our capital. This came up, and we already had the prerequisites, so the next turn: Pinch is of course the bonus vs. gunpowder units. SWEET! Option 2 would have given us just over 500 gold, which would be nice, but 500 gold will not save us from Omega where extra stout units may. Option 3 was unavailable to us (Taj Mahal) I went with "pinch." With this in mind, it may be best to build lots of Musketmen before we ever go to riflemen and spend a lot of money to upgrade them afterwards so our riflemen have that free pinch from having just been musketmen. Our economy is doing pretty well at the moment and we are making a profit at 70% science. I think its 2 turns to Military Science and the science slider was able to be turned down to around 40% with a lot of extra gold, with 0 turns difference from 70% science. Nice. We have attacked Kyoto and have lost 6 trebuchets (ouch!) and I believe 3 units. The above is what we have left. The below is what Kyoto has left. If they don't suddenly reinforce it, we should be able to take it next turn. This city was costly on us, but far more costly on them. I'd sue for peace (make them our vassal if we can) after taking this city. Artymus, its all yours, sir.

Ah, that's the kind of update I like to see... us doing the pillaging!!! Great news on the musketmen, a large upgradable force would be our best bet I agree. We'll have to try and time it right though as we probably want to get the actual Riflemen when having to defend. Though their grenadiers will certainly not fear that. Ok I can take this on from the next turn. Advisors across the known world are panicking at the thought of their nation being ground under the thundering clatter and deadly terror of an endless hail of bullets I'm assuming "across the known world" really means "in Omega's homeland". We know they are!

I haven't commented about this game because of my knowledge of both teams and the map. But, since you have already used the GE and can't go back, I have to say that I'm absolutely SHOCKED that you added him to a city.

My point was, at this point in the tech tree and game (regardless any other civs), I would have saved the GE for something else. Nothing more, nothing less.
