TCIT Sunday Apr 26 0900 AZ 1600 UTC

Adjust luxury level to keep the citizens happy without using specialists.

After currency is learned, if Trade & Tech sets a research goal then adjust science level to zero until 100 gold or more in reserve. Then alternate max and zero research to keep a positive balance while maximizing the benefit of libraries and markets. Lower as needed to avoid overruns on projects.

If trade & tech does not set a research goal, leave science level at zero and hoard gold.

Make sure the courthouses are changed to markets when available, unless city instructions say otherwise. Markets would be a good choice for cities that don't have instructions, but build settlers and units as needed.
 
Tech
Tech Research Order: Currency at full speed, Construction as fast as we can, Horseback Riding at one geek, expecting to get Map Making and HBR via the Great Library. In the Middle Ages, Engineering first, followed by Feudalism.

Tech Suggestions: Change current library builds to markets and then rebuild libraries.

Trade
Trade Recommendations: No trades at this time.

EDIT:
Cross post with the President.
Construction as fast as we can
That certainly includes stockpiling 100 gold.
 
Defense: Remove all units guarding resources and send them either exploring north or in cities needing military police or guarding from barbarians.
 


Build queue

1.) Temple of Zeus
2.) Library
3.) Settler
4.) Catapult (Marketplace if available)
5.) Catapult

Re-distribute workers as shown in image, Temple of Zeus should be finished in 13 turns
 
When Currency finishes, switch the Library to a Marketplace. After the Marketplace is done, build the Library. MM looks fine.

Ack... don't like making things easy do they?
 
Sorry I missed giving Instructions. I thought Sundy was Saturday. Worked both days. That made making the T/C pretty much impossible.

I get 16 Barb Horsemen for every Tribe whenever I play Monarch, roaming Barbs. This is not unusual for my games.
 
I'd say the other continent may have hit the midde ages, since any 2 civs hitting the MA triggers barbarian uprisings which are larger than regular. If the barbs were at raging, we'd be facing 2 tribes with 32 horses or more apiece. In that case, we'd need to get rid of our cash and plant a barbarian party town that sucks all of them in.
