Few turns later @T220 and nothing has happened so far.
T54 Boudicca offered DoF which gladly too, sold her some copper to be able to afford to buy a settler in Rabat instead of building two as I was already using workers to dodge her settler. T64 prophet spawned but instead of 3rd religion I planted it & started buying Pagodas & Mosques with faith. I was supposed to get another prophet as well but forgetting automatic purchase on Mosques I never got it. T82 Oracle by which the mainland scouting was mostly done and I decided to ignore navy & cargo ships. T93 4C NC, T95 CS & T108 Education.
T117 Boudicca went Renaissance as first while being dead last in tech and T119 reoffered DoF which she earlier denied. T122 killed Shoshone spy, forgave it & he also offered DoF 5 turns later. T131 Harald settled his 3rd city, finally in range of Caravans, sent one & DoF offer came T134.
T133 PP so I founded WC next turn but suggesting WF pleased surprisingly low number of peoples. 137 Opened Rationalism and T146 LToP from which I took GE which was used for PT T159. The filler policies were used in Piety just use the other revamped tree.
As I couldn't decide what to do with this I decided to do nothing including actively avoiding few things like caravans to capital, buying wars, harming CSs in any way, starting wars and generally keeping balanced cities which all have at least one NW & WW by ~T220.
Alex was leading in most of stuff, had almost all CSs which I had found all probably all of those I hadn't found. Pocatello had most cities and Nappy largest army. First war I saw started ~T110 when Harald DoWed Kame.
T160 Alex went Industrial still in tech lead, T172 I accepted Nappy's DoF mainly because he was at war Alex, Boudicca wiped Assyria off the map, T182 Radio & I was first to pick so I took Freedom keeping this different from the previous ones. T183 Harald wiped Kame off the map, too but otherwise it's been very peaceful - every second war seems to lead to a genocide.
T198 Eiffel to get some tourism, T206 Oxforded Plastics, T214 Broadway as didn't have useful stuff to build either, T219 SoL where I stopped.
For the sake of suspense my most modern units are CBs & a swordsman but only Alex doesn't like me that much and that's not really anything out of ordinary either. I have some oil and luckily money, too so in case of being DoWed I prolly just buy/build few bombers.
Not sure which VC to pursue but it heavily probably depends on whether I'll get involved in wars or not. Peaceful diplo with full Patronage Alex with endless gpt for one is not an option; I might even do another SV mistiming everything. Planted the first GS, have bulbed one I think & have 5 hanging around atm. With the lack of Observatories & keeping the capital relatively small it'll be slow but safe.
No major problems for most of the game thought only very moderate happiness & income due to very bad cravan options very limited CS ally options. Almost total lack of WLtKDs is more annoying than actually hampering. I'm not sure whether it's later development or am I just taking closer notice of it now but AI's habit of not improving luxes is stupid. It doesn't matter that much while taking their cities & killing everything but waving sacks of gold on their border while pointing towards unmined gold vein gets boring after a while and it's not like their workers were doing anything more beneficial at the time. Sure the AIs don't need the small amount of extra gold and very rarily the possible happiness but still, from the gaming pov it doesn't make any sense.
