, grows in 3, and pottery in 2.

Turn 13 1040 BC
1.) The Oracle is constructed in Delhi.
2.) Delhi: Oracle -> Hindu Temple.
I know this seems odd but I did this so we can run a priest specialist to hurry up our first prophet. We are already down to 70% slider and the sooner we get prophet the sooner we have a shrine, the sooner we have +
, and the sooner it will self spread our religion of choice.
3.) Pick COL as free tech.
4.) Confucianism founded in MC.
5.) Sending missionary to Delhi.

3.) Slider down to 70%
Turn 18 900 BC
1.) The warrior on his way to fogbust is attacked by a Barbarian Warrior. He survives and is healing in a forest.
2.) Checking Diplo screen I see Rosy is worst enemy of Alex. My guess is those two are in for a war. Hopefully we can focus on AC and wipe him out soon after construction.
3.) Horsies are connected to Delhi and Bombay.
4.) Hunting is completed. Choose Archery as a place holder.
5.) At look at the lay of the land after this set of exploration.
6.) Delhi:
7.) Bombay:
8.) Marble City:
Some things to mention.
a. What do we want to tech next?
b. Do we want to stay in Judaism or convert to Hinduism?
c. Once we get Great Prophet, set specialist back to work in the field.
d. Bombay needs at least three farms. I wouldn't chop forests since they are our only source of hammers until Metal Casting & workshops.
e. We should switch to Caste System in a couple of turns so Bombay can run some scientists once those farms are completed.
