Turn 05 (2550BC) - Vikings have Ivory by their capital. New civ is... Incans. We are HBR and Writing up on them, they have 68 gold and they can keep it.
Turn 06 (2510BC) - No huts in sight. Incans have IW, trade HBR (they have no horses atm) for IW and 38gold. Start research on Maths. (Cheapest tech that aint Poly, if we hit a hut Poly should be popped!) We have Iron on the Mountain south of Oporto![[party]](/images/smilies/partytime.gif "Party [party]")
Turn 07 (2470BC) - Spot a new hut, could it be Poly?
Turn 08 (2430BC) - Lagos warrior -> temple. Pop hut, city on the other side of the forest. On the bright side it has silks in its 9. On the downside, its junglist Massive!

Turn 11 (2310BC) - Meet the Mayans and Aztecs! Mayans on our island, we are definately not alone
They have no tech though hehe.
Turn 12 (2270BC) - Pop hut. Philosophy! woohoo! We auto get Maths. Dang, didnt realise it would advance our researching tech.
We start MM.
Turn 13 (2230BC) - New border in sight.
Turn 14 (2190BC) - Oporto barracks -> settler. Meet iroquios on our Island. Oops curragh goes suicidal.

EDIT: The city Meli popped (Emerita) has silks cattle and a river. Looks like a good city to keep! Maybe it should produce workers for a while??

2110 BC (1) Our Curragh survives the fat-fingering of its captain. Uhmmm...he still can't make shallow water, so may lose it still. Make Contact with the Romans, who also seem to be on our Continent. They are way behind in tech, but have nothing to offer us.
2070 BC (2) Koreans start the Colossus. We lose our Curragh. We pop a hut and get Literature.
2030 BC (3) Emirita (Warrior->Worker) The Dutch complete the Colossus. Koreans start on the Oracle.
1990 BC (4) Guirritos is abandoned as it pops its settler. "The Great Red Dot Debate" is settled by heading the other settler for the original spot. (I like it). See some Dyes way off to our East.
1950 BC (5) Lisbon (Settler-Settler) Iros start Pyramids. Goody huts are becoming harder and harder to find. Sagras is built at Red-dot place, Warrior started. Lux lowered to 20. (I'm checking for trades every round, but the AI's are pretty poor and we're ahead of everyone).
1910 BC (6) We pop a hut and get another city! It is a little farther away then Emerita was, but it establishes our ownership over the Dyes. Keep it?
1870 BC (7) Oporto (Settler->Temple) Lux back up to 30%.
1830 BC (8) Just wanderin'.
1790 BC (9) More Wanderin'.
1750 BC (10) Lisbon (Settler-Settler) Sagras (Warrior->Temple) Lux down to 20%. Pop a hut and get Code of Laws! (Getting ever-closer to Republic!). I only feel like 10 turns---its been a long week at work.
We have 4 settlers approaching good settling points. Time for a more extensive dot map? 2 are in our NE, ready to grab lots of bonus Grasslands, and 2 are approaching our floodplains in the SE. Still 16 turns to mapmaking. Lisbon is a 5 turn settler factory, and you have to do some MM on turn 1 and 2 of the rotation. Lux up to 30 when it reaches size 5.
(P.S. I didn't check trading opportunities on my last turn - sorry!)

Is this demigod?
The map is indeed huge..difficult to nagivate.
This is the power of the expansionist trait
Anyone here care to make a dotmap for the rest of the cities?

(1) no trades, spot three huts, two of them by scout, 1 by curragh. decide on wide settling, no overlap - we should pull all the forest land in, then chop for temples.
(2) Leiria, Évora founded, once maps, once a town, Braga, SIZE 4!!! - ****ty place and totally unhappy, obviously! Decide to rush settler there and move it asap!

The fact that we still get towns does say something about how small we are. Doesn't it?
