Sury and Roosy don't know anyone else. They would be good practice for the swords/beserkers.
Unless Confucianism spreads to Nidaros and Uppsala, there's no benefit to being in Pacifism.
Having suggested that Sisiutil did not need to change from US, I looked at the tech tree. Sisiutil could pay to build the Trading Post and then switch to Rep. Then he can research Guilds-Gunpowder-Chemistry in around 20 turns. That could be further reduced if the Swordsmen are not upgraded and the science is run as high as it can.
Two galleons with 5 swords and a berserker ought to take the first Barb city. Galleon number 3 ought to take along a spy - assuming the caravels are out doing their scouting thing. The galleons should finish theor explorations in a manner that brings all the knowledge ofthe world back home with them and ready to receive their berserk cargo.
Drats. Looking at the map, the one-tile island has no fish. It's still a great place to use as a staging area, it just will grow very slowly.
The only ai currently able to expand is Mehmed. Privateers end that threat. They can keep Sury and Roosy from contacting those other civs.
Take Barb 1 with 2 boatloads
Barb 2 with 3
Barb 3 with 4
Barb 4 with 5
By which time , a few Privateers and Frigates should be on line. And good night Sury.
It would be extremely cruel to export Christianity to Izzy, wouldn't it?
