Why is the galley need it?
Aza has construction and ivory aren't you guys concerned about elephants?
Another thing is the culture around the borders is any city going to expand borders soon? Could you flip any tile to your side to help? I'm guessing no, but no harm to ask!
If I understand correctly if you take the border cities, the ivory should still be under Azza control, so you may want to disconnect that fast.
If you have the money I'll updgrade the HAs too, some of the money can be recover by taking the citites.
I think that taken the first 3 cities is very likely more than than that would be difficult unless Mardoc attack too.
Edit because OH edit too: How the culture will look if you were to take the capital?
