Preturn check: Quite good. We grabbed quite some land. And tech parity? Probably partly due to the expansionist trait.
IBT: Atlanta settler->horse. English starts Great Lighthouse. Japan starts Zeus.
(1)1325BC: zzz
IBT Washington spear->settler. Philadephia spear->spear. Chicago worker->worker.
(2)1300BC: An English warrior approaches our two workers. I have to move them away. I feel growth is more important than saving one or two gpt, so I fire the scientist and raise lux to 10.
(3)1275BC: We meet the last CIV: Russia. She lacks Math, Philosophy and Poly and has 46g. What a shame for an expansionist civ. Russia is actually the No.1 in score.
(4)1250BC: Temporarily raise lux to 10, and hire a scientist in Miami. Sci to 0.
IBT New York Granary->settler. Seattle rax->spear. China completes MoM.
(5)1255BC: Japan beats us to settle on the horse in the north.
I'll settle beside the mountain instead.
IBT Washington settler->spear.
(6)1200BC: Houston and Buffalo are founded.
IBT: FP message. Chicago worker->worker.
(7)1175BC: I think New York is a good place for the FP, but it's building a settler right now. Japan has monopoly on Currency.
IBT Japan demands 34g, I cave. Philadelphia spear->sword. England builds Great Wall. Russia starts Great Library! France completes ToA.
(8)1150BC: France, Japan and China all get Currency and Lit. Fortunately Russia still lacks Construction and it's a straight trade.
IBT Washington spear->settler.
(9)1125BC: zzz

We have one settler next turn to found a city right away, and two other settlers in a couple of turns.
We are doing quite well. Good luck!
