The diplomatic relations that are developping between Jowy and Dantski are interesting. While so far they're being truthful to each other, their assumptions about Indian motives are a lot worse than is actually the case. I guess it might be a combination of different interpretations of what 'aggressive settling' entails, and India's prior diplomacy that rubbed some teams the wrong way.
Mind you, the current fears might be proven correct eventually.. but regardless, India will most likely become a juggernaut if allowed to expand at it's current pace for too long. I'm kind of hoping that Jowy and Dantski will form an alliance against India. Now that Byzantium, which many considered the most serious opposition to the Speaker/Sullla powerhouse, has had a serious setback, it would definitely ensure no single team has a monstrous lead over the others. And that's as good for the other civs as it is for us lurkers.
