As of 1220 AD we have the following forces available for war with Germany:
9 explorers
28 riflemen
37 cavalary
18 cannons
additionally, we have:
2 knights
5 swordsmen
1 longbowman (I have no idea how he got built)
19 muskets
2 settlers
2 galleys
2 caravels
1 galleon
1 ironclad
AND we have the following units in defense of Uber Island:
1 cavalary
2 riflemen
3 muskets
Some of these may be used for home defense, but due to the rapid development of railroads every one of our cities is now instantly connected to all other cities (mainland only), very few need to be allocated as such. Our defense may be fluid and troops may be moved to any front as necessary.
Our military advisor indicates that, compared to Germany, we have a strong military.
Diplomatically, the only MPPs in existance at this time are between England & Rome, and Rome & Japan. Germany has no sworn allies and, hopefully, will not have any prior to the invasion, however, it may be in our best interest to sign MPPs now with the Aztecs and Greeks to ensure that the Germans do not beat us to it.
Be aware that if we bring England into this war and Germany strikes them, Rome and Japan may be dragged along as well. We are starting the first "World War" that this planet has seen. This is going to be very messy.
I would recommend that we sign a RoP with our eventual ally the Aztecs, and possibly other allied nations. They could use our railway lines to instantly become involved in the war (once a railway bypass is built by Timeline and Gaia) and due to the seemless flow of our lines, they would rarely, if ever, end a turn in our territory. In fact we may want to build railway lines directly to our borders to facilitiate their movement into and OUT OF our territory instantly.
Electricity will be finished next turn. Afterwards, I understand that the plan is to research Scientific Method, however, I would propose that we research Replaceable Parts instead. This advance would give us Infantry(6/10/1) and Artillary(12/0/1 with range of 2 and rate of fire of 2!) (and allow our workers to work 2x as fast). These advancements would allow us to upgrade our riflemen into invincible defenders with the attack strength of a cav and upgrade our cannons into double attack models with long range.
These upgrades may not be ready for the first turn of the war, but the war will last THE DURATION OF OUR MPP, and these upgrade would be ready a turn or two into the war. They could give us a substantial military boost after our initial shock assault.
