I played 14 turns to stop at turn 100. Quiet turns, lots of whipping (mainly infra).
IHT
Sign OBs with everyone but Toku (guess why...).
Trade for Alphabet from willem. Techscreen isn't showing anything really interesting... just willem being a techmonster... for a change
Only Ham knows monarchy besides willem but isn't willing to trade it for CoL... must be researching it himself...
I also make some insignificant resource deals, a health resource for another (with DeG and someone else IIRC) for the diplo points.
3 Jags are sent to scout in different directions.
(1)
I trade Alphabet to DeG for Sailing and Poly with DeG IIRC (lost pic) and ABC and CoL for Monarchy with Ham. Talk about Highway Robbery...
(2)
Missionary reaches Athenes and spreads religion. I didn't spread in Corinth as it's only at 20% culture and
could remain that way until we capture it.
(6)
Pericles just turned himself from a likely into a very juicy target
(7)
We get a great RE:
"... between 100g and 200g...": it was 102g. Whatever, we'll take it
(10)
Ham finishes Aest. Making him spend less hammers on units, more on wonders.
(11)
Maths in > Construction
(12)
Ham gets rejected
(13)
I settle FishCow city. Settler was 2pop-whipped at Teno.
(14)
We get a GP in Madrid...
I cancel the Corn-for-Fish deal with DeG to sell the fish to willem for wine and give DeG Rice for Corn instead

Map of Babylon (note Babylon itself: 6 (!!!) resources!):
Map of Greece:
Our army currently consists of 6 jags, 1 axe and a spear.
Techscreen:
Willem Techwhoring as usual, Hammurabi has aest, only 2 AIs have Maths...
Religion:
Still no Hinduspread (the religion we're most likely to convert to imo).
Our workers aren't exactly busy, we need CS to farm most of the tiles. I chopped a few forests and prechopped more awaiting catapults.
GP-management was rather bad, I apologise. I fired the specs in Madrid for infra and growth. We can either settle the GP (a settled GP is nothing to sneeze at) or build a shrine. I think that doesn't make much sense tbh. We could save him in case hamm fails to build the jewish shrine. This one would be quite profitable...
Captain, sir, have fun:
