Played till 1120BC - not much time now so only a short report... guess you had enough to read from me yesterday
Made my suggested changes, moscow to gold novgorod starting a granary.
Builds were:
Moscow - rax > granary (whipped) > chariot > library
St. Pete - worker > monument (whipped) > granary
Novgorod - monument (whipped) > granary
I whipped all 3 builds on the same turn
Teching: Writing > Meditation (turned research to 0% after Writing finished)
Events:
Hit enter and get a forest fire near Moscow
what an irony... I did get your opinion to keep all the forests hehe and paid the 10g...
Early found 2 more neighbors, gandhi and mao. There goes the religious lovefest... looks like there are 2 continents, us 5 and the 2 remaining AIs. This will be an interesting game
At some point some sucky barb archer from down south threatens moscow... That's why I whipped the granary (2pop) as the overflow exactly completes the chariot required to ensure safety in russia
Note how (late) SH got built and how the barbs settled on the stone... This turn, we lost 4 pop overall hehe
OFC we kill the archer

I'm not too happy with the two granaries I am building, we rather need workers and settlers. However, the cities need to grow anyway.
There is an english settling party approaching. Not sure where he'll settle, either in the jungle or near the silk.
The fish site was taken by biz as expected.
We have an interesting layout of the map and great land to settle up south. We might want to consider adapting our research plans sightly...
