Short-rushed workers/settlers everywhere i could and switched back to initial builds.
Founded Palma in the Baleares and Tripoli in North Africa.
Founded 2 more cities in Sardinia, they are put to warrior production.
Looking at the situation, i think we could use the Baleares and Sardinia as a vWarrior production factories, just chop the forests and short rush barracks and keep pumping warriors every 10t, making almost 1 vWarrior every turn, then bring it to a barracks city and we have cheap Swordsmans.
Repaired the ship chain, it now consists of 3 groups of 3 galleys each, one is lurking.
Opened up a roaded plains tile in Sardinia to allow Greece to unload its invasion force, we don´t want to be bad hosts, welcome to our lands!

Utica ->Spearmen
Thenae->Heavy Cav
Killed barbarian Horsemen near Kersinglar.
Heavy Cav heads south to deep desert to find goody hut.
Notes:
Get 8 units into galleys and ship them to Sicily, looking at the military we are still weak to Rome and Persia but with the war with Goths, Celts and Persia i think we could invade Croton.
There is a settler and worker in Messana to build a reinforcement base on the tip of the italian peninsula, spears are beeing built for upgrades, and there is already a sizable force ready to attack if we count with the troops in Sardinia, Sicily and Carthago area. Just need to be planned.
Ivory is cut off and i advise to make more spears until we have enough to defend our invasion stack of Croton, after beeing upgraded of course. When anyone wants to reconnect it, there are 2 workers nearby idle.
I think the situation in Spain is somewhat instable, i keep wondering when will Rome send a massive storm army there, but with Goths now at war with them also, maybe things will be better.
Hannibal is in Cagliar.
Nice turns!
, maybe we could keep fishing for leaders on Sardinia, while we are at war with Macedon....
I actually was just eating peanut butter toast for breakfast, too!
