Yeah I'd like that as well, but for now India wants to keep the "inner circle" a secret. I'm not sure I can go along with an alliance that excludes England. But we'll see what happens, because I've got no idea what will happen once the tech trades are done.
Barbs keep hitting us from all sides, and on T79 our chariot Phobos died at the hands of a barb warrior at 7% odds. It was taken out by our warrior in DIM, temporarily leaving the defences to Carthage's healing warrior...
I'm glad we have quite a few units in our lands capable of taking out the invaders.
Here's a tactical update:

The red lines represents probable barb moves.
Barb A should suicide against the Archer in a couple of turns if we don't have two-movers available to take it out.
Barb B is a bit tricky, I'm pretty sure he will move inside our borders and so won't move SW. If he does though, I'll have to try and take him out with the Archer, because he'd be in the way of the worker and settler moves. The ideal situation ofcourse, would be it moving south and suiciding against the Archer...
Barb C will be taken out by Deimos the chariot next turn. Hopefully he won't be too damaged so I can move him north if barb B moves SE. He's got enough XP for a promotion, but I'll keep from doing that unless he gets hit hard.
The Horse Archer is going to heal for the next two turns and then go back to barb duty I guess.
On to the French theater:
Midas has finished an axe, which will be moving to Orleans via the road built by the French. He should be in position to attack the city (1S) around T90.
England will be sending an axe and a catapult. Hopefully we'll have enough troops to raze the city. (we should have 4-5 Horse Archers and a couple of chariots in support)
Our Horse Archers, War and Death, will be either moving E, SE or S, SE, to try and take out Rheims with English support. Rheims is 2S6E from Orleans. We also met Byzantium this turn.
