Congrats.

Some DM observations:
After reviewing our cities and the placement of new cities, I do not think that we are out of the woods yet and ready to go on the offensive.

Agreed. We still need some garrisons for the cities (warriors + some spears would be best IMO), and then we'll need more Archers + some Spears to guard them.

I think my original tight city plan is still the best bet for our situation.

Agreed. I'll be using it.

Isnik (or whatever we call it) is another situation. With it being so far from our core, I think it is going to be difficult to defend unless we use it as a pop rush home to later disband. Maybe build a barracks in it then do nothing but build gold except for the one just after it grows. Switch it to spear and pop rush the spear. We could even send out our workers to irrigate so that the food comes quicker.

Corruption isn't horrible there... this is a huge map, remember. The main problem is all the poprush unhappiness; the Ottomans sure left a nice legacy behind. Once that's gone and some of the grass around it is mined, it could get to 3 or 4 spt.

Sorry for posting these thoughts here when I am not a Minister. Please forgive me.

I will quote WB (emphasis mine):

I don't see any reason why this thread should be restricted to government.
