Thanks for your patience and help, guys. I've now got a reasonably balanced approach, trying to accomplish this:
- work the corn non-stop till we lose it
- work all gold and gems mines as much as possible
- get 2 sci in NC on T74
- whip Delhi only once more to minimize its unhappiness
- whip Marble multiple times
- 6 cats + 8+1 axes asap
- 2 sci in Delhi asap
The Osaka attack would be later than originally planned. I think that's okay because maintenance costs will be inordinate and we odn't want to bog down. Looking ahead, we have a lot of research to do (Aesthetics, Lit, Poly, MC, CoL, Currency, etc.), so we need to find a nice balance between early warfare, teching, and failed gold accumulation.

I stopped taking notes here. Basically, I made sure the hammers lined up to get the rest of the units out as needed. I also forgot to take notes on the Zlat wkr. He farms 1 grass river, then chops one hill, then mines the river hill. I had Zlatorog building a library, because it's going to be wokring the gold mine and a lot of river tiles non-stop.
Please take a look, maybe try it out, and respond asap, if possible. I'd like to play tomorrow to keep things rolling as best as possible.
. That would slow that down by one turn de to his revolt to slavery. So far, I have no problem having 2 axes there on T73, with one axe 3XP, but on T72 I'm still working on. Without the revolt, he gets 10
