Amsterdam with Polders here! No England or Celt in the map so those islands are mine
My religion going for diplomatic victory
45 influence = perma friend
Europe is mine muahuauahuahua Austria, Spain, and Carthage declared war but my city states stop them fast.

Next step, finish Astronomy and go convert heathens in Americas.
