I think it could get potentially a bit messy for Spulla - Dantski and Jowy are/were thinking of smacking them. Athelete/Kalin seem set on causing them grief and Nakor seems alarmed by their growth. Taking on 4 civs at once might be a little much even for them? 
Also if Kathlete do gift Jowy some of their cavalry, that might throw them a curveball - although it doesn't seem *that* likely.
I'm on tenderhooks to see if the galley escapes before the HAs hit Byz. I do think an island colony could cause some real annoyance for the Ottomans - couple of spears/axes in there and it wouldn't be at all easy to dislodge? It might further slow them down or even get them to consider some kind of peace?
Think whosit/Plako should be interesting!
