OK I've got some ideas here.
Builds first:
Paris; We'll need to grow the city if we're changing to a settler. So one more turn on the Copper Man, then change. This way I can get the settler time from 15 turns to 11 saving 3 (without whipping). Calculate max overflow into Colossus.
Orleans:
Grow the city one pop, then stagnate by taking off the land based food resource, putting him on coast and putting the new citizen on the desert hill. Work the trireme to Max overflow and then whip out. Put the overflow into a granary.
Lyons:
Whip this turn. Will have 40 hammers to put into a granary. City will grow back quickly.
Rheims:
Grow to 4 pop then whip the library into a granary.
New city placements:
I've devised three sites for the copper city, aside from plopping directly on the copper itself:
I prefer the red over either of the two pinks as it will give us use of the second fish when we need it. It does have a lot of overlap though. Settling on the copper will get us the Colossus earlier but will also lose us I believe 3hpt permanently.
I will settle one of these (including on copper) so we should decide now.
And my idea for the Horse/Dye/Spice/Rice cities:
Again there is overlap but mostly sea. If anyone has better please inform me.
As regards the double clam, we need to see more of that Island, so that we can decide which of the two desert tiles is the most useful. There may be something juicy hiding in the fog.
I would also like to scout around the two dye Island north of Ragnar to see what's on the other side. It may be a good idea to steal some of this land off him.
Technology:
First do the trade with Joao, I'd prefer to drop hunting as we'll be wanting MP warriors soon.
Calculating the Currency research. To get it at deficit should take 3 turns at 0% and 16 turns at 100% shaving off a turn of research from breakeven rate. The calculation here was assuming 0bpt and we're on 7 so it'll be even quicker.
Scouting:
In addition to scouting for new city sites, I like the idea of rushing Vicky, so I want to know what direction she came from in order to try and pinpoint her.
Please feel free to add/subtract to this PPP.
. We should talk about this. Infra or boats?
. It does share the fish. But remember our idea is to work food neutral coastal tiles, not food selfish specialists. So it's not a huge deal especially as it will still have its own fish.

(Edit: It would be really useful if our scribe could put links to the turnsets played in one of the first posts.

). Also, London and Hastings(?) will probably both have two food,
