750BC
in turn 750BC Anarres lost a city!!! Nice work Xerxes. My horseman defeats a bowman that appears at the border. Anarres made peace with the Zuluz, now that's not what I want. Luckily peace links Shaka's Harbor to Zimbabwe so I an bribe him into another alliance for gems, furs and 3gpt. It's quite a lot but my strategy now is to let Xerxes and Shaka harass Anarres without letup.

Also something weird happened with my alliance. Shaka war with egypt left hiim without a harbor. This means I can't trade my lux with him. Strangely our alliance isn;t broken but I'm not passing on lux according to f2! Look at the screenies:

I've got a sizeable army in Rheims now and the apparently this scared Hamu a bit because he turned his troops around
. I'm not sure when to attack but it will be one of the nect turns. Kish here I come! Need to build a settler though because I want to capture babylon but need to raze it to avoid a cult flip.
