The Babylonians, located some 16 tiles SE from Epelonep, seems to be Polite with us. The Iroquois Horsemen are superior cavalry units in the ancient age, and will dominate the Grapes of Wrath Steppes till the day of the Samurai.
The vast plains of the Southeast assures a natural buffer to the Iroquois for a longer period, as long as they are militarily superior in the open with their horsemen cavalry, we should be better off by not overstretching ourselves into the open. Epolenep through the future city of "Lago" represents a 3-4 city frontier thgat will face the Iroquois future expansion. However, we have desert, hills and plains between us and the Babylonians, so we can have long term peaceful relations with them. Their polite manners also seems reassuring.
We should not provoke/tempt the Iroquois by intruding into the plains, as they are indeed militarily superior in the open until the Samurai.
As Epolenep is a source of horses/iron llnked to "Umeguchi, we still need a central city of strategic flexibility facing the plains. a strategic reserve of cavalry based in Area 52 would be our strategic reserve we can use hunting barbarians until we have a standing army of horsemen we may readily convert to Samurai with gold one day. This cavalry will be our asset for active patrol and active defense of the open outside our defensible border in the hills
Long term, the Iroquois may be a problem, but are not a threat as the Romans. We should focus most of our militay attention on the Romans.
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.
