Started Redeploying some troops from Washington's chokepoint to Louie's.
There were 2 trades here: I agreed to give Louie fish for bananas then agreed to give Washington corn for sugar without thinking. That second one was canceled asap, but the damage was done
Education>Banking, the only trades were bad, education for one 700ish beaker tech like theology and optics, and it would be trading to izz or washington
finally switched to buddhism here too. Capac switched to free speech so if there was ever a doubt he was going for culture, it's gone
switched to OR and start building missionaries. stayed in slavery in case there was an emergency and we had to whip and army together. Buddhism spread to Rostov naturally.
agreed to trade Capac rice for fur
Louie switched to emancipation, which is kind of annoying but we're good on happy faces now
Capac demanded a cow, and I graciously (read

) gave our Incan overlords what they wanted. This was a tough choice because the plan was to antagonize him, but it'd be very hard to fight off the Inca behemoth now. I'm not sure if this was the right choice but risking a war with the Inca didn't seem worth it at this point.
The AP voted for open borders between all members, I voted yes with all 21 of 450 votes. I don't remember correctly and that screenshot is missing but I believe Louie had enough votes to carry the motion by himself.
Mongolia, of all civs, captured the barbarian city on the isthmus between us and Louis. He has open borders with Louie so it's no longer a barrier to colonization (if it ever really was). Izz built the Jewish shrine this turn.
Banking>Gunpowder, no trades available
denied America's request to stop trading with Mongolia
-----------------
Thebes is stagnant at the unhappy limit with the FP due next turn.
Expeditionary Force being sent to the isthmus with settler
conversion is coming along well enough for having started 5 turns late.
cancel Capac's coerced cows circa cinq... turns
