Wars: Burn the French to the ground. Raze every single one of their cities. Don't capture any cities that fall into our possession, raze all. Press all advantages against the Maya and Byzantines and advance on their borders with armies and any other troops you can spare. Pillage at will.
Long term planning: Don't sign peace with anyone this turnchat, unless terms are extremely in our favor. DP may use her discretion when it comes to Espionage missions, Millitary Alliances, and Mutual Protection Pacts. Never sign any Right of Passages.
