Hehe, I didn't disband him and something very amusing happened when the chinese border finally expanded... check
the latest update in the open thread for details
FP is top of my list, I've ended the war with the celts but no leader (I had a few elite wins but not enough to justify a complaint at not getting one
)
But where to build... I would say grappa, but it has precious few shields. So maybe it will be valencia with an eye to conquering the celtic empire. My income is ok right now, but the rest of the world is quite a few techs ahead and anarres has the GL in paris
I'll do a better update later with more details...
