Where to settle city#6.
First of all, here how trade groups looks like (to make you sure we need a road to connect city):
- With mine on silver, no road (silver connected to all cities except city#6)

- Same with road on silver mine (all connected)

If we settle 7 of silver we don't need road: city would be connected by salt lake.

Now, I think either way we are not safe from Rome. I mean GG could take our city if he wanted to.
We are slow on transfer defenders there. Even 2-3 chariots could do the trick if GG fast enough to deploy.
And he can deploy AGG+Barracks Praets/Axe/Spear pretty soon, I suppose.
So, the safe thing to do would be not to settle silver city now at all.
Between 2 options (7 or 9 of silver), I think 9 might be a bit safer one.
Yes, its more away from the core, but it can't be attack by chariot from tile 2 of silver.
Sailing is problematic for GG, I don't think he reseached it yet. And we have ally Yos to inform us if GG start research sailing.
Anyway, if we decide to settle near silver, we need some units down there fast. Like 1 spear and 2 Axes.
We also need roading to that city from core and maybe from Cornell as well.
We also should switch to military mode, building 2-3 barracks and Axes.
Research should probably stay on Masonry>Math with option go construction after.
I dont like the position mapmaker put us, I think it's probably the worst position of all 10 teams, but nothing we can do about it.
