We can CERTAINLY be quicker settling than Greece: I'd say to settle 1S from the dyes in Xinjiang.
We should wake the spear and the 2 workers in Miami and block the Greek settler combo, while our settler goes for the dyes, and when he gets to our dyes colony, also wake the spear to escort our settler.
We can always build another spear to protect our workers in Miami if needed.
The archer from Washington should clear the barb camp, and stay near Washington and our new city, IF we're going to declare on China to get free RoP with Greece(maybe, we'll need to have some archers nearby).
NY's settler should go and wait near Miami, so we're close in Canton(I'd not stop building settlers from NY). The archers should take Canton and replace it 1SW(we'd need border expansion to get the horses, but we'll secure them).
If we also could take and replace Xinjang and Tsingtao, we'd control the S part of our island. All the cities should build archers, and Washington should build a spear when each settler out of NY is ready, so we escort him(while waiting for the settler, archers also out of Washington).
I don't know if it's better to sign the RoP with Greece now, before next turn: Greece will EVEN pay us it's 16g for a MA vs China.
Here're some deals we can make with Greece now:
1) MA + 16g(they pay us) + MA vs China.
2) MA + 8g(we pay them) + MA vs China + Contact with Japan(good deal).
3) MA + 30g(we pay them) + MA vs China + Contact with Rome(Rome must be bigger and/or stronger than Japan, as it's more expensive).
Of course, China also has Contact with England(apart from Rome and Japan): If we could only make some damage to China, so they'd give us their contacts and/or techs cheaper by point-stick...
Certainly, if we'll go to war with China, don't trade with them and give them our money.
P.S.: the Chinese horse are pillaged by Greece, as it seems from the WM. That's good for us.
btw: at some point, we'd need to send a unit near than mountain of SF we don't "see", so, no new barb camps will appear.
P.S.2: just look at the WM, see where China has settled Chengdu; you can see red borders to the E(probably it's Rome).
P.S.: MUCH jungle is on this game.

still have to learn a lot about that. I would at least get the english contact and sell it to greece. The english might have yet another contact (I was able to trade contact like that one game). Getting maps is probably the highest priority.
