we hav 65 gold to offer too.
Buy Writing from China for 15 gold, he is now Polite. Took a minute but built an embassy in China for 31 gold. They are building pyramids in a size 1 city with only 3 shields. Start research on Lit. due in 15 turns. An embassy with England will cost 41 gold.
China has Mysticism, and contact with Japan. They are Polite with 43 gold. Only 3 other cities.
England who I have no idea where they are has: Mysticism contact with Japan and 47 gold, and that worker. And only 2 cities after London.
Istanbul can crank out settlers and never drop below size 5. Once granary is built in Bursa that can build all the workers, Edrine can continue to build spears. We are lacking for troops at the moment but barbs haven't been at problem, There are 2 settlers out one has an escort. After the temple is built in Iznik I recommend some miltary to fill the cities for the moment. Lux is at 30%, research at 50 with lit due in 15.
