[Ailedhoo]

Darn it! I was looking at the out of date map before you edited it!

O well: I can still develop the boats needed to reach the Indonesian area. We should do a expansion agreement, since you did in the past sign a alliance with Egypt and the Caliph would like to divide the Far East with you...
