510bc: switch Xinjian to galley (where's our curragh gone?)
IBT: Mongols ask for 27 gold...<5 minutes later> I give in...not because I am convinved it is right though; by scanning the Mongols lands I find a fortified warrior, huh!?, greek galley gets redlined by barb galley - so close :devil2: given the knowledge of greeks settling plans I change ours a bit to secure land; one will be founded ne of iron at the coast, the other n, ne of the eastmost elephant and the third at the proposed red dot;

350bc: Anjang is founded and starts temple to get the whales; we can trade resources to Spain now, we could trade ivory for cash soon if we want to, we may be one turn late to block the greeks from our elephant shores, though I did all that was possible (I hope at least). I know I settled kind of intuitive, but otherwise the greeks would have - just hope I didn't get to paranoid about them getting behind our line and to the elephants as I am well aware they would never had a chance to connect them in time to steal the ToA.
