Yeah, the economy isn't doinging brilliant right now. I'm looking for HR and wines getting hooked up for the extra 2 cottages in most cities to pull me out of it. As well as building research when appropriate. Don't exactly have alot else to build anymore.

You forgot one  . Just because it was built in less time than anyone else could EVER build it isn't an excuse.

After talking with Shady he looks like he might try to get currency off regoarrarr. I'm a little intrigued by this, because it could be the first cracks appearing in the UTA. Personally I doubt it, but I need to play along to keep Shadyforce happy.

I have 9 cities, no one else has more than 4. I don't quite know what to do anymore actually, so any ideas are much appreciated.
Ideas that I have considered:
- Blasting through construction, whipping out as many WE and cats as possible (+up to 10 HA/chariots, half of which I already have) and smashing Kalin. I could feasibly take him out of the game IMO, getting at least as far as his capital without too many losses, maybe even killing him if I am fast enough.
- As above, but using a galley drop behind his front city of 8 HA as well. Requires extra slaving/forest chops.
- Hit sunrise. Harder to do, much further away, and no chance I can hold the land. Also risks counter attack by Kalin.
- Play builder and whip markets everywhere, I have every single happy resource that is doubled by markets. Currently trying to get people happy with us giving money to specific players, and every gifting tech to me. This would also allow me to whip harder later on...and expand more.
So, thoughts?

Well war is much more interesting than building for lurkers and the more spectacular the better. Plus it might help to break up the alliances a bit sooner which frankly are quite lame from a spectator's viewpoint, we all want to see some backstabbing and proper ffa action. Well I do anyway 
Then again that's only one opinion. Your rate of expansion and the fact that you are still in contention for tech means that you can probably choose to do almost anything fairly successfully.
