Nice to see the mainland clear of Khan Jenarie.
Shame about those interlopers on our land though. I'm not convinced about the forge in New Sarai. I think carrying on with the market until we can whip it would have been better.
I think we should settle the gold in the east otherwise Hannibal or Brennus will settle it instead. Regarding migration I am reluctant to start giving up cities until we have acquired/settled some elsewhere. Giving up Yayoi would leave IronSheep and our iron too exposed. We need to get the iron by Ning-hsia mined first. Both of Ghandhi attacks have been on the east coast and I expect this pattern to continue. I notice that El Do is beginning to lose tiles to Bombay. I agree with Jenarie that we need to agree on a timescale for migration and how we should accomplish this.
For the coming turn I think the targets should be to wipe out Khan, settle the gold and build galleons and military.
Printing Press completes next turn so we need to decide on our tech path. Whilst Banking would be nice I think I would prefer us to head for the military techs such as Gunpowder, Chemistry, Steel and Military Tradition. This will take a while for research which is another reason I want to hang onto our revenue earnig cities.
Hannibal strikes me as an opponent who is likely to threaten Ghandhi. Unfortunately he is too strong for us at present. Htadus' view on Brennus may have some merit.
