Pre-turn:
We have a Curragh in Chiconautla -- I'll disband that next turn.
There are two Horsemen near Tenoch; I'll upgrade them as soon as we can afford it.
We can get 321 gold (plus some gpt, probably) if we sell Banking al around. That'll fund research and a couple of upgrades.
Change Jilotzingo to Court
Change Tepexpan to 'duct (it'll grow in 7 turns, and the Court build is 9 turns away)
Change Chiconautla to 'duct
Selling Banking:
Hiawatha gives us WM, 18gpt, and 221 gold
Tokugawa gives us WM and 79 gold
Cleo gives us WM and 7 gold
Joan gives us WM and 14 gold
MM cities.
Tenoch can get 4-turn Cavs by working both forests (or by growing to size 12).
Income goes from 601 to 630, including 18gpt from the Iroquois. Net: +5gpt, MT still due in 3.
Upgrade one Horseman to Knight in Tenoch (from the quick-response force by the capital)

Turn 1 (560 AD):
Disband Curragh.
IBT:
France and Maya sign MA vs. Iro
Japan offers a map swap. We give territory map for WM and 3 gold (all they have).
Iro want alliance vs. the Maya and a RoP! Yeah, right, as if we want to break the deal where they're giving us 10gpt for 15 more turns!
Ecatepec: Walls > Worker
Turn 2 (570 AD):
Science to 50%; MT in 1
Move workers. I need to restack them for greater efficiency.
IBT:
Military Tradition > Physics
Chalco: Settler > Duct
Turn 3 (580 AD):

We should probably move a few more Cavs to our border with Egypt to avoid losing cities if they attack us.
