( 2 Engineers , 1 Crusader , 2 Diplomats and 1 Explorer per group ) , Destroyers , and Galleons Crusaders supported by Science city ( Shakespeare ).
Convoy sailing North East : Destroyers eliminated Athens ( Greek ) defenses , Explorer takes the Capital ...Greek had no MASONRY ...they will not be able to rebuilt a Palace, since they are on the same continent, I will take them with Diplomats as the game goes, I dont consider them a threat to expand during the game
Convoy sailing SE towards Romans : Discovered several cities , except ROME, seems to be landlocked, also is the # 2 Top City, best option is to take Coastal Roman cities to prevent Naval expansion

Roman cities get a consistent 3 Caravans per turn , bringing 300 to 400 per turn
Romans steal several Techs ( but they have become my bread and butter ) , interestingly the Senate does not call for War. . ..its it because the Trade is more important ??
Can not expell Roman diplomats without causing a War...and thats over-rule by the senate ....
According to Polo ...Romans are " Icy :....but is not Peace- War or Cease Fire reports...( ? )
Internal Trade brings another 200- 300 per turn
