It looks like CDG is "sleeping" with some other team. The other team will not commit an inportant force to apoly' because CFC will hit their weak cities. So it will be apoly' vs. CDG. Who do you think would win?
Edit: Fine it may not happen but if it happened close to this time who would win?

Taking this poll for the only thing that would have meaning, that being a "What if they attacked us in the immediate future" poll, I'd have to say we'd be at a clear disadvantage. I do think that in 20-30 turns though that will change, and I also dont think they are likely to attack us in that time span. So I voted CDG would win, but Im not particularly worried about it either.

If we were in CDG's position, I would be pretty confident we could take out Apolyton if we really tried. Our size 5 city makes it really obvious we've gone the Granary route, and so we'll be weaker economically than they for some time now (of course, their second city is pretty bad...). There's also the fact that they can upgrade to their (awesome) UU, while we cannot.
It all depends on how much they want to take us out, and if they realise that their window of opportunity is shrinking (unless they're waiting to get adequate support from other teams).

I'm only "unconcerned" in that I don't think they will be able to easily beat us in 20-30 turns. As for the immediate future, there's not a lot we can do about it but hope for the best.

The minute we discovered that the Persians were our neighbors I believe we all got a heavy dose of paranoia. It's not like any of us was shrugging off the obvious Immortal-rush scenario.
But my initial feelings were that we should turn this into a diplomatic battle, not a military one. With a 3-Defense UU, we're not the kind of easy targets CDG was hoping for. And there is (still) no reason to believe that just because they have access to Immortals they will rush with them within the first 60 turns of the game (Immortals are still pretty good in the Medieval age, and Persia can flourish by the strengths of its traits alone).
My point is that our fear of Immortals may be increasing, but this is no reason double our defenses (at the expense of, you guessed it, our economy). What we need to fear is CDG. The Immortal rush is what it is. What we need to do is delay that attack until such time as our economic base provides a real advantage. Right now, or in the immediate future, we would probably lose; in 40-50 turns, CDG would have a very very tough time. And thus my belief that we need a diplomatic victory in the short-term, to ensure a military one later on.

From where we are now..... I'd probally feel comfortable with 2 or 3 NM's per city in one of my own games, but thats based on experience against an AI.
