Looking good so far, and yeah let's relish our spot on top of the scoreboard. 
Some comments:
1. The granaries are fine, let's keep them building. MIT will be growing faster eventually with the pigs and grassland farms.
2. No real idea on where the warriors should go, except that the northern one needs to protect the fourth city spot.
3. I'm glad we're asking Native America about open borders. I have no idea why they would agree to open borders with only one team ... let's see what happens. Can we ask them not to discuss our conversations with them (to other teams)?
4. I agree with the city blocking location for India. Do we want to "gamble" and put that there for our sixth city?
Teddy, just an FYI: My grad school admissions cycle ends this December, so after the holidays I'll have a lot more time to run sims. In the meantime, I'll still be around and can play turns occasionally and write messages (I have set it so I get all emails in my primary email account). I'll reevaluate our situation this weekend and see if we should be leaning in a certain direction.
