1. Yep, espionage.
They've just finished Mathematics and are saving cash on Masonry.
2. I settled inland in the end.
OT6mn declared and offered peace this turn. Their power is going up like crazy right now, but they don't have any recent military techs, so it must be axes, spears or chariots. Hopefully axes or chariots, but if they check the F4 screen they'll know I have horses now
.
Since they offered me peace I assume they have another target in mind, but I don't really want to let them get away with that...
I may be in trouble with Gavanth, they've got a stack of 3 axes and a spear by Krillpatine, but sent me a copper-copper trade - possibly to let me know they're going to come help with OT6mn? Like an idiot I accepted rather than offering it back
