Not sure how this happened seriously...i just finished writing but got optics some turns ago. I still doesn't have calendar(i have some sugars) but i think i'm researching it presently.
I did get a culture ruin before turn 5 and got monarchy pretty fast tho.
I'm at +8 happiness right now but was over 10 for a long period of time.
Right, you went tradition (as always). We do not have a strong capital due to tundra, and our lux needs all tie 2 tech literally, spread across the tech tree.
