1) Firm up the border with NDE and Gow
Accomplish this with two key cities. The first should be near the cattle in the North as already discussed, and agreed to. The second should be in the nook of the river just N of the spice near NDE at the edge of the hills, demarking the military border with NDE.
After these cities, future cities should be build adjacent to these, such as to put a lock on this border.
2) Strength through obvious deterrence
We need more spearmen in those hills and cities, to prevent any warmongering from GoW or NDE.
3) Secure strategic resources
For us, this means iron and horses and salt peter.
This will mean putting a lock down, see priority 1 above, on the hills. There's iron in the military border region which we absolutely must secure asap. With all of those hills there, there's bound to be one that may have salt-peter. Our UU will require Salt Peter and Horses. This region is vital to our future survival and success.
4) Apply influence on domestic agencies to avoid isolation, and yet remain firm and resolute.
Our sovereignty and national security are a must, and that means we need to know how the other civs are dealing with eachother, and how they feel towards us. Our diplomatic corp is doing an awesome job at this!
We need to be more firm, however, while maintaining our conciliatory tone. We've sounded very conciliatory in our sensative dealings, but I'm not sure if we are being firm enough. We must not show to much weakness for fear of early wars, and for the same reason we can not appear to be too strong...
It's a hard dilemna, but one, which we must strive to resolve.
5) Finally, to remind myself that it's just a game, and that at the end of the day, I am still a person with a job and a family to take care of. Oh yeah, and this is supposed to be fun
