Good grief... I already see R'lyeh's capital, and Jomon's troops are already adjacent to my capital. And to the north are barbarian hordes- troops I'd handle quite easily if only I had archers. Is there a way out of this situation that doesn't involve war with Jomon and peace with R'lyeh?

I'll hold out a turn in the hope that there is some better outcome, (I may even accept advice from my enemies), but I'm really wishing my pretender was awake right about now.
