Ok still couple of things about the current turn:

We talked about this briefly. Dhalphir offered this deal at the start of the turn and we declined. I sent it back now. We are receiving both spices and ivory currently so this deal does not bring any immediate benefits. However, it's nice to have surplus ivory and we can soon cancel our silver-to-spices deal with pindicooter. They have both gems and stone, so we could try to use that silver to bargain one of those resources. And yeah, we have I think 6 own sources of dyes. And two unhooked near Nibru/Peterloo so we really can afford to trade away them. And yes, supporting Dhalphir so that he lasts longer against plako is not bad either..
Dtay offered this:

We already receive ivory, soon maybe twice.. If he wants sugar he must offer something else..
And it seems mackoti is copying our approach:

Yeah, he also is hoping for a safe border. With current power levels really attacking suttree would just be a stupid play for both of us. If I'm correct suttree will first receive our peace offer? In a perfect world he accepts our peace offer and then sees mackoti's offer and thinks:
"Hey, I have a safe border in the north and an unused army that will be obsolete in 25 turns. In the south I have a neighbor with a delicious size 15 capital two tiles away from my border and he has now stretched his units over a lenght of ~30 tiles in east-west dimension. Why don't we pile together with my former Babylonian enemies against this potential runaway who was just gifted the whole southern part of the continent and two wonders."
And we think:
"Dear suttree, we still hate you for what you have done to us, but in this adventure we are all in, and happily tie half of mackoti's army and take a city or five"
Unfortunately we are not living in a perfect world. We are living in a world where Murphy's law is reality and people around us just do stuff that does not make any kind of sense.
Back to that reality... Stuff left to do:
- Worker between Peterloo. I assume that we direct the chop into barracks in Peterloo, but I did not do that yet in case you have other ideas
- I put Königgratz on wealth for now. Actually building a worker there would not be a bad idea. This is the area where we most need increased worker support and we should be able to 1-pop whip a worker there in 3 turns.
- What do we demand from WilliamLP for OBs? Our import export ratio is ridiculous (~ -200) so we have some room to select our OB deals... I think something small might be in order. Close borders and offer OBs + dyes for ~6gpt would be something different? It's very cheap so it should be seen as a friendly action..
- I moved around 15 units NE of Königgratz and we still have other 15 units in the city. Should we put them onto the same tile too? That's simply the most flexible tile currently. We can reply to threats from suttree if he changes his mind and our units can also stop any kind of hypothetical aggression from mackoti
