Inherited turn: Looks good, swap some of the barracks and unit builds to libraries in anticipation of TGL becoming obsolete, hey we are scientific, that makes life a bit easier. I suspect we might need some courthouses soon as well. I left the former German lands on units, when they have been improved then we can get some infrastructure in there.
We are currently 27 units over our support limit, average to Egypt and Mongolia and stron vs everyone else.
We are going to want the FP soon, anyone have a good idea where?
The Russians have managed to get a city into the Jungle near the dyes, how did they get it all the way round there?

Notes:
There are 2 Aztec galleys near Isin, as far as I am aware they haven't dropped anything off yet, the last landing was on the ruins next to Isin. I have left some units with movement so you can decide where to put the defence.
The only land unit in our borders is the Russian archer that killed out MDI. I had marched that MDI all the way through the jungles from Agade and the first thing it did was to die

Also there is a settler on its way, building near one or both of the cows might be nice but I had come to no firm conclusion where it should go.
The Aztecs had been sending archers against Sumer all my turn set, then they all turned round and disappeared.
