I didn't really take very big risk - adding spearmen & walls to Pasagarde & Arbela, the 2 likely counterattack cities plus making sure that Babylon had nothing to trade to bring in England made it possible. If Babs had not declared, this would have been a peaceful turn set. I pre-positioned the troops incase by leave demand was rejected. It's too bad those cities auto-razed, both were size 2 when the war started, but Hamu whipped a spear in each making them go away.
I think England is going for Spain - We might want to send along a couple of Immortals to steal a city or 2. If England wanted to, we'd be gone by now.
Good idea on the galley in Eridu, I rarely think of using the whip to speed production. It might be a way to get 2 or 4 Immortals to Spain without going through Babs. Then send it exploring.
Something else we need to do is get a road to England to be able to trade our excess luxes. We'll have 2 pretty soon and could really use the income. Getting Antioch irrigated will increase the production to get that temple earlier and expand to get the extra incense.
I was trying to sneak that warrior/worker stack back home, but no luck yet.
I'm hoping that if we keep that peninsula available for a while, one of the off island AI will settle a couple of cities for us over there.
Once the troops are healed, two options:
1. Keep them on the border in the west, in case a chance comes to demand a Babs unit leave our lands and he declare's again. Then go for Ur, Samara & Ashur.
2. Try for a ROP with Babs to get units to Spain to try to steal a couple of cities in her SW.
Interesting Gozpel, in one game were hoping to beat up the ladies and in another we're protecting them

Great Job! I will probably try to get the Babs to declare on us again and go with denyd's plans and march on the western cities.

So true, didn't even think of that
I didn't think of our extra luxes either, so Lizzie might be interested and save some change for us.

After seeing that picture it's tempting to think about joining Spain in the war against the English.
Position 20 of the Immortals on the English border and have the other 5 shadow any English troops in our land. Upgrade those 5 warriors then disconnect the iron and build more warriors.
By joining Spain in the war via MA we could probably get a tech and $$. Taking a couple of SE and W English cites will weaken her quite a bit. If the battles go well, we could go for the throat and kill her off completely.

You need to get at England asap. Take as many cities as possible while they are fighting Spain, and take peace for tech at first opportunity. I think you will run into difficulty holding onto cities because of culture. But I think you need to hit England and get them to agree to peace for twenty turns, during which you need to get a few Babylon towns. If you don't get enough towns up, quite soon everyone will have muskets and cavalry and you may find yourselves SOL. Go get 'em.
