Interesting letter:
While it is nice and echos what I mentioned a few posts ago, I think Sullla will suspect it. Jowy + Dantski build up will make it kinda obvious. Still, I hope it slows the Indian Builder's Paradise down.

Might be too late to play nice with Byzantine. Our relations went cold around when you attacked them, although the reason is a sum of many things. Anyway what matters is that they don't trust us now (if they ever did), and they seem to believe that we are building an army to finish them. I found a way to abuse that suspect for our benefit India's recent diplomacy message tipped me off that they have a pretty tight relationship with Byzantine. Byzantine will tell everything to India: India will think that I'll use my army against Byzantine. That should help me against India and shouldn't hurt your war.
About that diplomacy message that tipped me off.. India wants to give Byzantine copper/iron, exactly what we suspected yesterday! However they don't have trade routes, so they want me to give copper/iron to Byzantine and they would give me theirs. Going to decline it by saying that I don't trust Byzantine, which would just strenghten their beliefs that I'm going to attack Byzantine. Unless you have some other plan in mind, let me know.
Tech path wise, cba to list all my techs, but basically from more advanced techs I have Iron Working, Sailing inc soon, then on to Writing. I've pretty much ignored the religion techs. Not sure where to go after Writing. Probably the economy/military route instead of cultural.
Btw what do you think of Incans? (IIRC your neighbours to the south)
