GOTM188. Emperor level. 2 settlers. 7 civs, large, no respawns. Leaning towards EC.
4000 BC: Move settler west. Paris built.
3950 BC: > Burial.
3900 BC: Orléans built 2 squares west of Paris. As usual, temporary ICS if you can do it over a river. Helps a bunch before BB.
3600 BC:. Burial > CoL.
3500 BC: Hut: Chariot.
3250 CoL > Writing. Monarchy not available.
3200 BC: Hut: 50g.
3150 BC: Hut: AT of Lyons.
3100 BC: Reims built. Lyons only has a fish for special and is in the middle of plains. Not the highest-value hut.
3050 BC: Hut: Settlers. Very nice start! Except for the fact that I seem to be on an island.
3000 BC: Tours built.
2950 BC: Marseille built.
2900 BC; Writing > Monarchy. Techrate 6turns. Swapping 2 workers changes it to 5 turns, and a 2650BC revolution.
2650 BC: Monarchy > BW. REVOLUTION. Monarchy established. T3L0S7. Hut: Settlers again! Really couldn’t have asked for better luck. Topography is starting to make me reconsider my EC plan. Plain plains isn't very strong for shield production.
2600 BC: Hut: 50g.
2550 bC: Chartes built. Hut: Horsemen.
2450 BCC: Avignon built.
2350 BC: BW > MapMaking.
2250 BC: Besancon built. Rouen built. Lyons building a Trireme to ship some settlers north to landmass 16 (and uncover some sea squares along the way)
2200 BC: Grenoble built.
2100 BC: Dijon built. 12 cities this early. Is this real life?
2050 BC: MapMaking > Currency.
STATUS AT 2000 BC: (End of 41st turn)
Population: 200.000 Cities: 12 Government: Monarchy Total advances: 7 (researching Currency)
Gold: 1 T3L0S7 Income/Cost per turn: 5 income, 0 cost. Production: 34MT 0 polluted tiles
Units: 2 Settlers, 3 Warriors (no garrisons bc Emperor) 1 Horseman, 1 Chariot from huts. 2 Triremes under construction.
Wonders: None. Paris will start a placeholder WoW in 2 turns.
Foreign relations: Nobody has been met.
GOALS: Expand north and to landmass 16. Build HG. Get a basic road network down. Expand SE of Chartres as well, and explore south of main landmass. Main priority will soon shift to vans. Should. But only after 1500BCish.
Excellent start!

My huts were 2 consecutive ruins(very rarely this in my all games Civ II),one hut tech in progress started previous turn,Ceremonial Burial..
Map is very easy,you will finish the map before 1200 AD maybe...

1754-Future Tech1,begin Amphibious,single option,Greeks first having this,exchange with Advanced Flight
I don't kill roman units,just staying in defense,they have alliances,want to keep peace.
Romans reject my emissary,my destroyer kills defending roman destroyer near Syracuse
Sign peace with Japanese/ 6-7 roman spies near Salzburg,but can't attack.
First bomber

1762-Arrival in AC,end of game with 53 cities,30-36 main,all techs+Future Tech2,peace with all.
Some notes:
A mistake maybe was to keep the second settler all game,in most games I make this,a city in river close to my Lyons can be a good option.
Other mistake was to switch too late to Democracy,1555 AD in this 'weak' map..
Huts no help in the start,a little change late.
Good luck all !

1900 BC: Reims Trireme. Will head north.
1750 BC: Currency > Trade.
1700 BC: Amiens built. From Chartres. 3rd wave is still being formed or heading to sites.
1650 BC: Grenoble disorder. Unlucky number 13! Whale discovered near Besancon.
1600 BC: Cherbourg built.
1550 BC: Tours disorder. Southern trireme gets boarded by Horse/Chariot.
1400 BC: Trade > Pottery. Will not get HG pre-1000 BC, I prioritized settlers over vans in the Orléans peninsula. Poitiers16 built as first offshore colony.
1350 BC: Toulouse16 built.
1250 BC: Bayonne built.
1200 BC: Hut: Legion. Jesus Christ, where are the Barbs? Not complaining…
Interturn: Roman horse meets mine on southern landmass. I give them BW for peace. Trade for HBR and Masonry. Give more techs, maps. Romans have 5 cities. Antium rather far away NW. Shipchain would require 7 Triemes. Tempting. But that’s probably not going to be done until the early ADs.
1150 BC: Van in Paris: 81s left for soon-to-be-HG. The Hanging Gardens of… apparently Nineveh IRL.
1050 BC: Van in Paris: 21s left. Hut: Chariot. Landmass north of landmass16. Stratsbourg built. Brest built.
1000 BC: Pottery > Polytheism. Civil disorder in 3 cities. Going to move Dijon a square west.
STATUS AT 1000 BC: (End of 61st turn)
Population: 480.000 Cities: 20 Government: Monarchy Total advances: 12 (researching Polytheism)
Gold: 14 T3L0S7 Income/Cost per turn: 9 income, 0 cost. Production: 57MT 0 polluted tiles
Units: 8 Settlers, 7 Warriors 1 Horseman, 2 Chariots, 2 Triremes, 1 Legion.
Wonders: None. Paris done with HG in 4 turns. Americans building Pyramids.
Foreign relations: Peace with Romans.
GOALS: Build a few cities in Chartres peninsula to act as staging ports for an eventual shipchain to Romans. 2 settlers are on their way, building a road as they go. Will arrive in 600BCish. Expansion in homeland almost complete. Build some cities on landmass 16 and keep exploring, building WoWs. Priority on WOWs needs to be higher. Most likely going to miss one. No suitable SSC site found, will let Colossus go. Also, WoW vans are higher priority than trade vans for the time being.
MPE second wonder, as usual.
Actually, Avignon might do fine as an SSC. (56, 52) looks like a hidden special. 4special-site as well.

Initial plan is to walk one settler north to uncover one of the 2 additional specials and the other settler to the river and to uncover the 3rd special. Having the river, this alone makes me think i will likely build 2 fast cities rather than utilizing the size one settler tactic. I really like the idea of building on the grape since it adds all three bonuses: Food, shield and road (including a trade bonus) and all three bonuses are able to be capitalized upon immediately in despotism. Included within this, the grape capitol will provide 3 sci and 2 gold in despotism, (and 4/2 at size two) and this extra science could potentially be the difference in getting to my government 4 turns earlier.
Briefly entertained the possibility of combining the size one settler tactic with the mining of the grape by the other settler, but more than likely it is not worth it as compared to simply building a fast 2nd city on the grass/river. In weighing all of the known possibilities at this moment at the end of 3950 an un-mined grape capital and a grass/river 02 @ 53/62 looks like a sound plan to race forward with. Of course there is a chance of discovering something even better before that plan is put in place. I will use the river settler to explore the river a bit first hoping to find a hut... while the settler that just found the bull can walk 2 steps to the grape and build the cap there in 3800. Will likely build 02 in the same year and possibly a few steps further away on the same river, but we will see how the river exploration goes.
Focus is a non-conquest civ building game which would be towards spaceship if i was planning to go that far.
3900: River is tiny : ).
3850: No huts in view as yet. Will build my two cities next turn and explore with warriors 5 turns later.
3800: Build cap on grape and 02 on grass/river 50/62 which has more squares in the black and thus more potential for something great than the 53/62 location.
3750: > Code
3650: Code > Writing
3550: 2 warriors emerge. Nothing exciting uncovered in the first step of each warrior.
3500: Each warrior finds a hut. I know with starting alphabet i can go strait to Republic without an off path tech, but i will open one hut at a time and only stop if or when an off path tech is chosen. I believe the potential for something positive makes it worth the risk.
3500 status: 2 cities, 2 warriors. 2 shields in each city towards settlers. 18 gold.
3450: First hut > supported archer. 2nd hut > wandering nomad. Might be near a whale (or a less exciting fish) given the special pattern, but i would not be able to explore it without a boat... So likely this settler will head towards the river two steps from the cap. 02 settler production rushed from 4 to 10. Cap which is paying unit support on the archer is 2nd priority with which to do the same. As well if one of the two cities is to stay in size 2 longer, it should be the one that will be producing 4 science as opposed to a maximum of 2. The archer is very local and i will re-support it in 03.
3400: Writing > Lit. This is going fast : ). Settler production in cap utilizes the entire treasury of 11 gold and is rushed from 5 to 10.
3300: Both cities going from size 1 > 2 next turn. Capital secures the shared grass/river/shield so it will choose another of these and go to 4 science and 02 chooses a forest to work and will have the other grass/river/shield as it's other square.
3250: Grass/river 03 built at 53/61 and the archer re-homes himself there.
3050: Lit > Republic. Looks good to complete this in 2650. 3 slow guys doing a great job of exploring.
3000: 02 completes settler.
3000 status: 3 cities, one settler, one archer, 2 warriors. Republic in progress with a likely completion in 2650.
2900: Warrior locates a hut and with the race to reach Republic in 2650 being tight, he will not open it as yet. Completion of a much needed road bringing 02 back to 2 science.
2800: Cap builds settler and food stores are full so next turn he is back to size 2 with 4 science. 03's settler production is rushed along to 30. Need boats to uncover my whales (or less appealing fish) : )... and some of them are in known locations and are almost certain to be there given the special patterns. As such i will likely choose map making before Bronze/currency/trade. All three exploring units are closest to their own civ. Boats may also allow me to reach one or more other civs and possibly trade for bronze and/or currency.... along with potentially Masonry and/or pottery. Next two city sites planned and the decisions were not simple.
2700: Completion of road on the 63/55 wheat en route to a planned city site. 04 built on 57/59 plain which accesses a Bird and a Bull. Science to 40%.
2650: Republic > Map Making. Science @ 80% for this one tech. Warrior in the heart of exploration holds off on another hut so he can continue to explore without risk. Other two exploring units have uncovered their region and will be headed in that direction. Grape capital with a grass/river square and an ocean putting out a ridiculous 9 science.
2600: Build grass city 05 @ 54/66 which accesses the roaded wheat and a likely hidden ocean special. New settler completes. Status: 5 cities, 1 settler. Archer opens hill top hut > supported chariot. Will use him to open the desert hut with one of his two movement points.
2500: 3rd road built. Cap disbands a warrior that is too far away from further exploration to justify his shield cost.
2500 status: Republic, 5 cities and one each: Settler, chariot, archer, warrior. 3 roads.
2450: Map Making > Bronze. Science reduced to 20%. Will build just one boat for now which will make a huge difference in permitting informed city prioritization and placement.
2400: Chariot to open desert hut with Archer standing by for support in case of any trouble. The hut produces a supported archer that is welcome but he also makes 04 go unhappy. Will not alter lux rate and in 3 turns 04 will spill into size 2 and be able to utilize an elvis. Meanwhile the 04 archer will walk back home and be there in 8 turns.
2350: 4th road - grass/shield.
2300: Chariot uses his first movement point to open another desert hut and 2nd to kill the barbarian horse that emerged... becoming a vet in the process.
2250: Completion of first boat and a settler. 04 reaches size 2 and an elvis is assigned to quell the unrest. Grass 06 built @ 50/68 which has a fish and likely another hidden ocean special to be uncovered in exactly one turn. 05's likely hidden ocean special will be uncovered the following turn. warrior opens a hut in the far east and it is a tribe for city 07. Chariot is two turns from this city and will re-home there to eliminate the need for an elvis in 04.
2200: Hoping to find a whale, boat uncovers a fish accessible to city 05.
2150: Hut: 50 gold. Boat uncovers a desired whale accessible to city 06.
2000: After walking for 5 turns, build grass 08 @ 57/51 which captures a whale.
2000 status: Republic, 8 cities, 2 Settlers, 2 archers, 1 each: Boat, chariot, warrior. 4 roads, 0 irrigation.
1900: Settler and archer arrive upon island 39 which is south and east of cap. (Edit: In hindsight, did not map click thoroughly enough and went out of my way to reach this island safely from 64/64 rather than going much more quickly to island 40 which is just west of it.).
1850: Build grass 09 @ 56/54 which accesses a shared bull to be utilized primarily as its first square while the other city primarily utilizes the Pheasant. Bull will occasionally be loaned out to the other city. Status: 9 cities, 2 settlers.
1750: Bronze > Currency. Science still @ 20%. 5th and 6th roads built.
1700: 7th road built.
1650: Build island city 10 on the grass with a whale @ 67/75. City will wait one turn then rush a dip from 3 to 30 for potentially lucrative island exploration.
1600: 3rd boat built and settler number is now at 5. Fast and furious chariot kills the barb horse that approaches our city.
1550: Boat with Settler and dip reach island 37 to the west and south and immediately spot a whale. Another boat lands an Archer and warrior in the promised land on island 32 far east and south.
1500: Another settler completes. Boat-transported settler builds island grass/whale city 11 @ 42/68. Completion of 1st and 2nd highly valuable irrigation projects as settlers await sea transportation.
1500 status: Republic, 11 cities, 5 settlers, 3 boats, 2 dips, 2 archers, 1 chariot, 1 warrior, 8 roads, 2 irrigation. 34 (gross) tons, 48 gold income, 10 beaker income. Treasury: 113 gold. Currency has about 45 or 50 beakers out of 112.
1450: 3rd irrigation all of which are the grass/shield/river squares on the original river which are shared amongst France's first 3 cities. Dip uncovers a 2nd whale in island 11 city. With much to quickly explore, city 11 rushes dip from 3 to 30.
1400: Island hut: supported archer.
1350: Bribed a menacing barb horse. Island 32 hut: tribe 83/67 for city 12. Meet Japanese, they offer to trade tech, i take a chance and pick up unwanted Ceremonial. Gifted to enthusiastic and this wasn't enough to trade maps so i gifted them again to worshipful to make it happen.
1350 status: 12 cities, 5 settlers, 3 boats, 3 dips, 3 archers. 1 chariot, 1 horse, 1 warrior. 8 roads, 3 irrigation.
1300: Horse disembarks from boat and eliminates a horse/explorer barb stack that was threatening a city.
1250: After walking for several turns, settler builds grass/whale 14 @ 56/42. 9th road.
1200: Hut on uninhabited island: Tribe for city 15. Hut: supported chariot. Completion of 10th road.
1150: Met Rome, traded techs and they had only pottery which is pretty good for me, my 4th priority. Gifted them as necessary to worshipful to trade maps. Island city 16 built, grass with whale and roaded wheat @ 40/66.
1150 status: 16 cities, 6 settlers, 3 boats, 4 dips + misc units, 13 roads, 3 irrigation.
1050: Built island 4-special city 17 @ 36/68, 17 cities, 7 settlers.
1000: Currency > Trade. Science to 80%. Egyptians had begun Pyr in 1250 so i don't want to be too carefree about the race to it. Build island city 18 @ 65/81, a beautiful grass location with 2 whales and a fish. New island hut: nomad. Hut: 50 gold.
1000 Status: 18 cities, 7 settlers, 4 boats, 4 dips, 2 chariots, 1 horse, 3 archers, 1 warrior, 16 roads, 3 irrigation. Income: 56 gross tons, 70 beakers, 18 gold. 110 gold in treasury, 411,000 land area. About 15 out of 200 towards Trade and barring any financial emergencies we should have it in 3 turns and then hopefully Masonry in about 3 additional turns.

975: Hut: 50 gold.
950: Build grass 19 @ 57/47 with access to wheat.
925: Trade > Seafaring. Masonry was not offered and nor was my 2nd choice of Warrior Code which i know the Japanese have and which i thus could have received from them one way or another. Since it would cost me 220 beakers to get Seafaring and then maybe 250 more to get masonry, Marcos and an 80% tax rate (actually it would be 60% now and 40% lux. is looking like a better choice at this point. I wanted Marcos anyway, but would have preferred getting it after both Pyr and HG. Chariot happens upon a third civ, the Greeks. Maybe they will have Masonry for me. In any case i am seeking to build 4 caravans as fast as possible. for one wonder or another. 4th irrigation, all 4 are grass/shield, on or adjacent to the original river. Chariot kills 2nd barb horse and hopes to capture the leader.
900: Met Sioux, traded tech with no further concern of delaying masonry and received horseback from them. Gifted to worshipful and traded maps.
French chariot found Greek roads and irrigation,, but still no Greeks. Japanese in supposedly receptive disposition explored towards my empty city on their continent. Not trusting them i rushed a phalanx when he stepped within my city limits 2 steps away. 2 turns later the warrior attacked this phalanx and the defender survived and became a vet.
900 Status: 19 cities, 10 settlers, 5 boats, 5 dips and other misc units.
875: Unsupported a settler and the just rushed diplomat and intentionally allowed a stacked barb archer and explorer to capture my 09 and we bribed it right back for a net profit. After walking for several turns, settler builds 20 on a 4-special grassland which includes 2 whales and a bull. Island city 21 built on 3-special grassland site which includes 2 whales. Met the Greeks, traded techs with them and all they had was warrior code. Gifted to worshipful and traded maps. Warrior opens a hut on a plain and a barb horse emerged who will remove the warrior from the game. Would have much preferred opening that hut with a dip and bribing the highly valuable "none" horse.
850. Barb boat from the black kills one of my boats diminishing my navy from 5 boats to 4. The silver lining is that it was empty. As anticipated, barb horse kills my warrior that released him from the hut. Build 22, grass city with whale and 2 fish. Hut opened by dip: 6 barb horses. Bribes one of them who is able to run to safety 3 steps from the pack. Hut: 100 gold.
850 Status: 22 cities, 7 settlers, 1 cara, 4 boats, 5 dips, 2 chariiot, 2 horse, 4 archers, 1 phalanx.
825: 5th irrigation completes on another grass/shield square, this one on an island. Racing towards 4 caravans and secondarily towards 8 and 12, hoping to have Pyramids, HG and Marcos within about 10 turns. Under normal circumstances, Marcos would likely be third, but since i need Masonry and was forced off path with tech more expensive at this point, i will likely need to get Marcos first. It was announced that both the Egyptions and Americans are building Pyramids, so neither of them would willingly trade it to me. But if they are close enough and reachable, maybe i can steal or capture it. Otherwise i might have to rush my science to hopefully get Masonry in time and i believe off shore foreign trades would take too long and with my tiny cities, would not likely be very lucrative at this point. The 4 civs i have met do not have Masonry unless they have obtained it recently. Finally, It's not impossible to play a successful game without Pyramids and i have had to do it many times vs. skilled human opponents, so i may end up having to make due without it. This game cries out for Lighthouse as well, so this would likely be my 4th wonder priority. Let's see how this all shapes up : ).
800: Unsurprisingly, the pack of barb horses kill my diplomat. Boat dropped 2 settlers (and separately a dip) to island 16 and all are searching for the best city placement. One settler is ready to build the island's first city and is on a grassland with access to a whale and spice, but since a dip just located a hut, he will wait a turn in the hopes of first gaining an uninhabited island tribe for which there is a high likelihood. Built 23 on island 40, a grass city with a whale, a fish and 3 grass/shield squares one of which is irrigated and roaded. One barb horse among the pack pursues my horse to the barbs own demise. Hut: 25 gold.
775: 4 caravans reach capitol contributing to a secret building project. Diplomat pops hut on uninhabited island 16 and is rewarded with a high percentage tribe for city 24. Building of island city 25, grassland with fish and grass shields. Treasury 384. Gold income per turn: 88.
750: Completion of Marcos. Analysis of the embassies: Only Egypt and America have Masonry and both of them are building Pyramids so i don't anticipate either of them trading it. Sioux have masonry in progress so waiting for them to complete it is a possibility. Also the only civs who have Seafaring which is my current tech are the two who are building pyramids and who thus are unlikely to trade with me. No other civ has seafaring in progress. After this partial analysis, spent gold down from 472 to 10 and went to America to see what they would say. To my surprise they traded techs with me. i picked up Masonry, Seafaring and also Mysticism. Wondering now why they traded it and if maybe it was because a second civ already had it? Maybe somebody knows and can offer insight? Gifted them one tech and traded maps.
Also traded with Egypt for their only available tech which was Monarchy. Gifted them a tech, traded maps and now have every map and every tech from all civs. Attempted to gift techs the other civs had in progress when it was one of the two possible techs i could offer them.
All in all, Marcos has proven itself invaluable in this situation as is so often the case. Initially and most urgently because it got me Masonry. Secondarily because it got me my current tech which is Seafaring, as well as the final 2 maps. Of course as always it is also invaluable in providing essential intel on all future developments. I would normally seek this wonder, but under most circumstances and aside from OCC, not until at least after Pyramids and HG.
Next tech comes at a cost of 391 beakers which means that optimal trades (which my small cities are not able to provide at this point) will yield about 261. Will hold back as long as possible in choosing my next tech which will hopefully be philosophy.
Adventuring dip opens an island hut for tribe city 26 on a plain which accesses a whale. After the wonder rush we French will likely hurry an explorer there as well as in other new world locations. Chariot pops hut and out come 8 red horses to completely surround him. Puts on his cloak of invisibility, closes his eyes and hopes for the best.
750 status: Republic, Marcos, 26 cities on 8 separate land masses, 5 settlers, 0 caravans but 4 @ 50 shields one turn from capitol, 4 boats, 4 dips, 2 chariot, 2 horse, 4 archers, 1 phalanx, 10 gold in treasury. Income: 79 megatons and 99 gold. 17 techs, 643,000 sq. mi. Next wonder will emerge in 700 bc.
950: Build grass 19 @ 57/47 with access to wheat.
925: Trade > Seafaring. Masonry was not offered and nor was my 2nd choice of Warrior Code which i know the Japanese have and which i thus could have received from them one way or another. Since it would cost me 220 beakers to get Seafaring and then maybe 250 more to get masonry, Marcos and an 80% tax rate (actually it would be 60% now and 40% lux. is looking like a better choice at this point. I wanted Marcos anyway, but would have preferred getting it after both Pyr and HG. Chariot happens upon a third civ, the Greeks. Maybe they will have Masonry for me. In any case i am seeking to build 4 caravans as fast as possible. for one wonder or another. 4th irrigation, all 4 are grass/shield, on or adjacent to the original river. Chariot kills 2nd barb horse and hopes to capture the leader.
900: Met Sioux, traded tech with no further concern of delaying masonry and received horseback from them. Gifted to worshipful and traded maps.
French chariot found Greek roads and irrigation,, but still no Greeks. Japanese in supposedly receptive disposition explored towards my empty city on their continent. Not trusting them i rushed a phalanx when he stepped within my city limits 2 steps away. 2 turns later the warrior attacked this phalanx and the defender survived and became a vet.
900 Status: 19 cities, 10 settlers, 5 boats, 5 dips and other misc units.
875: Unsupported a settler and the just rushed diplomat and intentionally allowed a stacked barb archer and explorer to capture my 09 and we bribed it right back for a net profit. After walking for several turns, settler builds 20 on a 4-special grassland which includes 2 whales and a bull. Island city 21 built on 3-special grassland site which includes 2 whales. Met the Greeks, traded techs with them and all they had was warrior code. Gifted to worshipful and traded maps. Warrior opens a hut on a plain and a barb horse emerged who will remove the warrior from the game. Would have much preferred opening that hut with a dip and bribing the highly valuable "none" horse.
850. Barb boat from the black kills one of my boats diminishing my navy from 5 boats to 4. The silver lining is that it was empty. As anticipated, barb horse kills my warrior that released him from the hut. Build 22, grass city with whale and 2 fish. Hut opened by dip: 6 barb horses. Bribes one of them who is able to run to safety 3 steps from the pack. Hut: 100 gold.
850 Status: 22 cities, 7 settlers, 1 cara, 4 boats, 5 dips, 2 chariiot, 2 horse, 4 archers, 1 phalanx.
825: 5th irrigation completes on another grass/shield square, this one on an island. Racing towards 4 caravans and secondarily towards 8 and 12, hoping to have Pyramids, HG and Marcos within about 10 turns. Under normal circumstances, Marcos would likely be third, but since i need Masonry and was forced off path with tech more expensive at this point, i will likely need to get Marcos first. It was announced that both the Egyptions and Americans are building Pyramids, so neither of them would willingly trade it to me. But if they are close enough and reachable, maybe i can steal or capture it. Otherwise i might have to rush my science to hopefully get Masonry in time and i believe off shore foreign trades would take too long and with my tiny cities, would not likely be very lucrative at this point. The 4 civs i have met do not have Masonry unless they have obtained it recently. Finally, It's not impossible to play a successful game without Pyramids and i have had to do it many times vs. skilled human opponents, so i may end up having to make due without it. This game cries out for Lighthouse as well, so this would likely be my 4th wonder priority. Let's see how this all shapes up : ).
800: Unsurprisingly, the pack of barb horses kill my diplomat. Boat dropped 2 settlers (and separately a dip) to island 16 and all are searching for the best city placement. One settler is ready to build the island's first city and is on a grassland with access to a whale and spice, but since a dip just located a hut, he will wait a turn in the hopes of first gaining an uninhabited island tribe for which there is a high likelihood. Built 23 on island 40, a grass city with a whale, a fish and 3 grass/shield squares one of which is irrigated and roaded. One barb horse among the pack pursues my horse to the barbs own demise. Hut: 25 gold.
775: 4 caravans reach capitol contributing to a secret building project. Diplomat pops hut on uninhabited island 16 and is rewarded with a high percentage tribe for city 24. Building of island city 25, grassland with fish and grass shields. Treasury 384. Gold income per turn: 88.
750: Completion of Marcos. Analysis of the embassies: Only Egypt and America have Masonry and both of them are building Pyramids so i don't anticipate either of them trading it. Sioux have masonry in progress so waiting for them to complete it is a possibility. Also the only civs who have Seafaring which is my current tech are the two who are building pyramids and who thus are unlikely to trade with me. No other civ has seafaring in progress. After this partial analysis, spent gold down from 472 to 10 and went to America to see what they would say. To my surprise they traded techs with me. i picked up Masonry, Seafaring and also Mysticism. Wondering now why they traded it and if maybe it was because a second civ already had it? Maybe somebody knows and can offer insight? Gifted them one tech and traded maps.
Also traded with Egypt for their only available tech which was Monarchy. Gifted them a tech, traded maps and now have every map and every tech from all civs. Attempted to gift techs the other civs had in progress when it was one of the two possible techs i could offer them.
All in all, Marcos has proven itself invaluable in this situation as is so often the case. Initially and most urgently because it got me Masonry. Secondarily because it got me my current tech which is Seafaring, as well as the final 2 maps. Of course as always it is also invaluable in providing essential intel on all future developments. I would normally seek this wonder, but under most circumstances and aside from OCC, not until at least after Pyramids and HG.

725: Boat transported settler builds city 27 on island 16, grassland with Whale and Spice. Completion of 6th irrigation on another grass/river/shield square. Americans began research on writing and i was able to gift it to them on the first try. Hut: none horse.
700: Completion of Pyramids. Completion of 7th irrigation. Completion of a trireme and 2 explorers in a remote and heavily unexplored area and the two explorers climb into the boat eager for adventure. When life is tough, explorers make everything ok. Dip opens hut on a tiny uninhabited island and it yields a high percentage tribe for city 28.
700 Status: Republic, Marcos, Pyramids, 28 cities, one cara and 2 more at 50 shields, 5 settlers, 5 boats, 2 explorers plus misc units. 3 cities are size 3 this turn and next turn it will be a total of 6, then 8 in two turns and 10 in 3 turns. Also 3 size ones will become size twos next turn racing to size 3 and others are similarly close. New focus is on the fastest possible completion of food storage, in various instances choosing fish over whales until size 3 is reached.
675: Boat-transported settler builds island city 29. City 30 built on mainland grass site that accesses wheat. Boat and settler locate grass/whale/fish city and settler with 4 turns of stored work is dropped onto an adjacent grass/shield. Wishing that after my boat has moved the game would allow my passengers to disembark before re-directing me to a different part of the world : ). Lux adjusted from 30% to 40 to maintain the peace, gold to 60. Treasury spent down to 3 gold to rush a 4th caravan to 50 shields.
650: 4th caravan completes as does 7th boat. Build grass mainland city 31 with access to irrigated grass/shield and peat. 8th irrigation completes on another grass/shield square.
625: Completion of Hanging Gardens. Lux set to 60% where 9 of 10 size 3 cities are able to initiate celebrations. Dip avoids forest hut and will allow an explorer to open it to minimize risk. Separate hut elsewhere: nomad.
600: Settler who completed adjacent irrigation with 4 stored turns of work builds grass/whale/fish/irrigated grass/shield city 32.
600 status: Republic, Marcos, Pyramids, HG, 32 cities, 3 settlers, 7 boats, 4 explorers, 4 dips, 2 chariot, 3 horse, 1 phalanx. Head count (f4 heads): 66. 24 roads, 8 irrigation. Income: 97 tons and 67 gold. 831 sq. mi. Treasury: 41 gold.
575: Celebration growth leads to 78 heads which is an increase of 12 since the previous turn. 9 size 4 cities. Lux to 80 to keep celebration going. Since a boat is nearby, i am using caution with a hut that a dip is ready to open. Boat is now in position for next turn to rescue him if necessary. Separate hut: 50 gold. Next hut by explorer: barbarian horde of horses which completely surround him. Archer is nearby to kill one of them to open up an escape and in the hopes they won't notice the explorer slipping 2 steps away. Moderate chance the explorer survives, but he is still be within striking range of 2 of the horses. Archer will surely be removed from the game. Horde is also very close to one of my cities, so it was necessary to prioritize the rushing of a dip there to help with the solution. Treasury: 28 gold.
550: Head count is 91 which is an increase of 25 over the past two turns. 8 cities are now size 5, and some of these are continuing to celebrate. Additional city sizes: 2 size 4s, 6 size 3s. Population statistic is 2.1 million.
Explorer goes undetected by the horde and the archer who sacrificed his life for this explorer dies a heroes death.
Made war with the Egyptions who are "hostile" by insisting they remove their non existent troops in my territory and in the hopes of resetting their gold edition attitude for one turn so i can receive banking in a tech trade. Hut: Wheel. Build grass/whale/wheat city 33. Hut on another uninhabited island is a tribe for city 34.
550 Status: Republic, Marcos, Pyramids, HG, 32 cities, 3 caras. 8 boats, 6 explorers, 4 settlers. 5 dips, 3 horse, 2 chariot and other misc units.
525: Head count is 103, an increase of 37 from 3 turns ago. Population statistic is 2.57 million. City sizes: 3 size 6, 6 size 5, 6 size 4, 1 size 3, 10 size 2, 8 size 1.
