Felt pretty safe going for builder/settler opener into a horseman rush. Unfortunately lost my initial warrior to a scout after taking down a barb camp to the west.

Got about five horsemen total but honestly that was overkill. I think 2 could have gotten the job done. Rome was close by and very easy to take. Unfortunately other civs were pretty far away. Took out two Chinese cities easily but accidentally friended Macedonia although he only has two cities total anyway.

Still no religion, in a tight race for the fifth spot.

10 total cities
3 captured
2 from captured settlers

5 theater districts finished, 4 being constructed

missed the first writer just barely, easily got the second one.
