checking the save now... all thoughts are forming a PPP ;-) (the intent is to play 24 hours from this post)
I like the OB trick with scouting towards Nidaros with chariot and will do it as first step
next step is DoW Ragnar if nothing too surprising visible and move 9 vultures 1SE, next turn 1S of the sign, next turn take nidaros and stop for more feedback
That means I should form what I plan to do with cities in next 3-4 turns
Uruk finishes Vulture, starts on Library (due in 3-4 turns, 17H OF from building V --> 34 hammers into library, 18 base prod --> 36 prod into library so something like 3 turns most probably)
Eridu continues with building Library, next turn growth will work GH, with a little bit luck in the short TS the Library finishes
Amsterdam builds Mids
Kish will whip barracks next turn, it has only 2 good tiles, no reason to stay at size 4, the question is if put in unit or library for some bonus hammers (should be 16H of OF) - with 19 vultures available I am the meaning putting the OF into library to be better and would like to do so
Lagash I very slightly agree here with LK that working cottages for only 2 turns is better then to switch into gold now, since the city after switch needs 7 turns to grow.
I will stop the granary build though... don't see us growing this city/whipping this city, thus the build is suboptimal in my eyes.
We will have there 4 hammers production in 2 turns...so "pumping" chariots there (cheapest build) seems like best course of action

Workers
I would stop the worker building cottage near Lagash and use it for chopping one of those PF for Mids in dam
workers near Kish could improve road network between Dam and Kish to form better line, I feel we can build good improvements around right now with the lack of IW and CS
Big question is how to improve Kish, we could run there those PF's in times of need and stagnate it low
the road towards Ragnar has to be finished and I will redirect the worker south from Uruk chopping to help with roading towards Ragnar.
Since we probably won't get workers from Raggy right now, there surely will be some need for improvements around nidaros so those 2 workers could relocate.
Last worker will work on those plain forests around Eridu.
Well that's it...
thumbs up the game looks much better now!
