Babylonian Intelligence update
* Babylon
* Ur
* Nineveh
Average Military
No Horses
No Iron
Special Report
The Babylonians, located some 4 tiles away from Epelonep, seems to be cautious with us. The babylonian bowmen are with access to both spearmen and swordsmen nad horsemen relatively military inferior to Japanatica.
The natural mountain range makes it virtually impossible to run an offensive campaign either way without massive military losses. Conclusively, we should contain the Babylonians through expanding Epolenep as well as building a coastal Western city procuring the local iron.
This means we need to build Zojoji up North on the coast with Iron, to build the other two Northern locations in the updated National Security Plan.
The babylonians are severely disdvantaged in that they propbably have no horses and no iron, not even iron working, at this moment. As they are militarily equal to us, they resemble only a middlelevel military threat. Still, they are cautious with us, so I see no need to provoke a war with these using scouting missions, yet we should establish a defensible border both with Baylonians in the South and the Zulus in the Northeast
I suggest the following measures to counter Babylonian influence through peaceful means:
Building a temple/maybe also a library in Epolenep in order to expand regional culture and secure a stable border. This means we need to change the build order from barracks to temple right away. Epolenep will not likely fall quickly, built on a 50 % defense bonus hill with a river close by. Epolenep must grow in order to get the diamond bonuses quickly.
Additionally we should build Umeguchi and Area 52 in line with the National Security Plan.
I also suggest we go for Monarchy as soon as we can in order to both be militrily prepared and to have a system that lets us use more than the present commerce, foods and shields bonuses. After Monarchy we should pursue literature, but only for building a library in Epolenep short term.
Monarchy has primacy due to production bonuses and economy.
