Governor of BW instructions

1. Immediately switch to a settler before pressing enter the first time.
2. work pigs and FPs (cottaged FP have priority)
3. more will come later
4. the governor of BW can override these instructions at any time including during the turnchat

Maintain max science the system will allow. Don't worry about lowering it, as beakers roll over in Civ4 (a difference from Civ3).

Settler and escort should follow a route to the green site which keeps a view of the yellow site and any potential Mongol adversaries. If green can be settled safely then do so, but if the Mongols would beat us to the horses then settle at yellow instead. (Note: Previous DP apparently missed the bolded part, so we may already be in danger).

Edit: If a 2nd settler is produced, and there is no risk or barbs (no fog tiles within 2 tiles) then send the new settler in the general direction of the Bronze. The assembly may choose not to settle there, but better to be moved in some direction, even the wrong one, than it is to hang around home.

Hmm, we have a scheduling conflict with the Civ3 DG, which has a chat scheduled for 2000 GMT and may not finish in 2 hours. If that happens we can hold this session in the #demogame room instead.

Finish Myticism, start on Archery. If at all possible (even if you have to run the turnchat an extra couple of turns) try to finish Archery.

I'm hoping the new city will bring the time to build Myticism down by two turns, which means that if we run the standard 4 turn, turnchat.. then we will should be about 4 turns into archery by the end of the ten turns. If Archery takes a total of 8 turns, like I'm expecting it to, we should be about half way done.

Open Borders: There is not enough support for signing Open Borders with any civ, so don't sign with any foreign nation.
