Yes, Deckhand is right, we have to wait for Alan's OK before we can look at our post in other threads.

OK. Played a couple of moves now to get things rolling.
Noticed the plan lacked a unit to replace a chariot for scouting so added into queue for Barb City.
Paused as Brennus has Construction for Trade . I don't see a hurry to take at this point but wanted to get opinions. He would take MC.
Rest is as planned. Caravels are sailing. Noting unexpected except a second barb galley in the north. so i retreated a trireme on the fish outside GPFarm and redirected the new trireme to the north.
I am going to check the save in. Just in case. If I see a couple of greens in the next hour I will play a few more moves.
No screens - apologies.

I was thinking more about the other hemisphere and the likely scenarios.
Worst case: 2 AI each in both Hinduism & Judaism, both religions well spread.
Best realistic case: 3 AI in 1 religion, in a love fest and hate the 4th AI.
Best unrealistic case: Tokugawa founded both, and there have been no spreads. 3 AI have no religion and will all become buddhists.

Sorry, didn't even notice the x-post.
I agree, don't trade.
Construction is always an AI priority, so we can hope to get it from the other hemisphere.
What this does confirm is that we don't have to tech Construction ourselves. If we need to trade MC for it later with Brennus, thats not a big loss, as long as the invasion comes soon after.
edit: GREEN from me to continue.

Exactly - more good news for us.
Will wait for another green, if not tonight, please observe the 24 hour rule and continue without me if I go silent.

Could worst be 4 AI in Hindu and founder of Hindu also founded Judaism and they all hate us on contact? I'm just sayin.

Played 2 more turns - met an AI! 
Argh! lost a trireme at 88% outside of GPFarm.
Switched GPFarm back to a Trireme.
Rest as planned.
That's it for tonight for me. Look forward to discussions on our new aquaintence.

Great play SH 
As for SB, not sure what to feel about him, I feel he is generally a very weak techer a lot of the time. His position is quite low in comparison to Brennus indicating a backwards continent. He still hasn't researched Alphabet yet or even Currency which is worrying.
As for our remaining AI, we can expect two from the following:
Saladin
Justinian
Tokugawa
Genghis
Mehmed
Suleiman
I hope it's not Toku
If so, kcd has made our game a heck of a lot harder

I think this is a nice summary of Sitting Bull rather than having to go to the XML code
Luckily, he cares very little for religion.
If the other continent is as backward as he is, perhaps it may be worth waging an inter continental war to vassal all of them first and then taking our experienced units over to fight Brennus AFTER?

Yes - He looks like he will have little to offer us and will not put up much of a fight.
Therefore
PS - Very nice summary on SB.

Nicely done SH. 
I can't stand SB. He never techs enough to be much use and doesn't vassal easily. But mostly he just poisons your water supply, over and over again. That said he isn't too much of a threat.
I will take a look at the save.
Edit; I almost forgot, GREEN to continue!

Yeah, SB sucks. So this is going to be a bit harder than expected. Perhaps we can eliminate him by taking over his continent and then create our own vassal and hope the RNG gods favour us? I think ANYONE will be better than SB
If you still want to keep playing SH, green from me btw!

Yay, another AI, SB is a pain, but he has 8 cities. So we will get 8 +4 trade routes when we open borders with him and get Astro.
The different religion thing is great, he will only ever have -1 for different religion, so in that regard he is the ideal civ to meet first.
The fact that he has construction is good, as the more AI that have a tech, the more likely they are to trade it, unless they are SB that is.

SB also built the Pyramids (and HG).
So, yes:
So, yes:
But the -1 does mean that we will get more diplo penalties with other AI who DO care about religion!
SB probably has stone. He has to die *evil laugh*
Edit: What is with that size 4 city founded at 425 BC that is number 2? I am thinking a great artist was born and the AI used a culture bomb.
