In the year 1250 BC the Egyptian Regent's horseman met the Iroquois who occupied the bottleneck between the southern and northern segments of Pangea. He exchanged a tech (philosophy or math) for contact with the Americans, Chinese and India. He exchanged the same tech for some gold credits and a map with the Chinese. The Republic of Egypt then declared war on China and formed an alliance with the Iroquois, Americans and India. In 1025 Egypt made peace for the Chinese cities of Tsingtao & Hangchow. Egypt then allied with China vs India. In 800 Egypt made peace with India when it surrendered 2 towns. Temples were immediately started and after one turn completed with substantial bribes. Next came two workers and a settler to build a new outpost of Ulan Bator and a road to the horse range. Now war chariots can be build in the "southern continent " 77 squares away from the capital of Thebes. Note there are no garrisons in the towns while American and Chinese have ROPs to cross my territory and weaken themselves while I'm free to pursue a few local wars against the Greeks, Japanese and Aztecs.
