The English acknowledge the acceptance by the Babs.
However, we are left with something of an long term issue here.
We earlier advised the Babs that we intended to locate a city on the bridge, securing Wines for ourselves, keeping the barbarian Chinese and Romans at bay, and offering safe passage to all Babs citizens, with the slight proviso - for military - that no more than 2 units at a time would be welcome.
The positioning of the latest Babs city now forces us to either abandon our plans, or live with a situation where cultural pressure will be an unavoidable factor in the game to come. Not being religious, the English have real reason to fear this outcome.
We would welcome Babs comments, possibly privately, on this situation before we commit to our future direction.
