I'd like Dinos build another plantation faster, but there is much likely Rome's attack on them.
And I dont remember Silk's location there, but maybe Rome could pillage/take both sources after attack on DT.
Hope their silk is safe. I sent them another message giving them some more specific turn timings; awaiting a response.

I'm thinking of moving 2 more workers in the area, so timing for spices should be - t121, t122 and t123.
After that workers could help improve Dye.
One worker will keep roading dye, so its 6 workers total in the area.
Not sure about IW timing, probably t123-124.
We could start trading Spice on t121, sadly it seem SutOxy will be the only option at this time.
Another question, what to build in UWash next turn? Options are:
- GLh for failed gold. It slightly better than wealth and I could ask Arki about his timing on GLh.
- Military units. We got barracks here and a lot of hammers.
- Library.
- Hindu temple.
- Missionary for western cities.
- Anything else?
What do you think?
(1) Worker plan -- I can't check the game so I'll trust your judgement on this one. 6 seems a lot but we'll need at least 2 of them near the dyes area due to the jungle that's there anyway. I can't remember -- can we still make a plantation on the dyes, or do we need Iron Working first? Or is it that we can definitely make the plantation there and chopping the jungle just gives us extra food? I'm just curious about the fastest way we can get the dyes happiness.
(2) If SutOxy is the only team we can trade, then let's not help them out any further. One thing we might do is ask Blame Caledorn if we can do a furs/spices trade. They only have one furs, so it's like we're getting an extra happiness for free while they remain neutral. They might be willing to do it, perhaps we can add in a 3 gpt incentive?
(3) Washington ... we do have a lot of options here, and I'm honestly not sure which one seems best. Of the options you listed, I'd be fine with axemen, temple, or missionary. Axemen if Rome moves their troops near us? We may need to wait and see what Rome does on turn 119 first. if there's no sign of their troops, I think a missionary to Wisconsion would be good.
(4) Other point -- Stanford has enough food surplus to work the 2 riverside tundra flatlands. Do you think cottaging those two tiles is worth it?
