290 AD (Pre-turn)
Lincoln get 584g and WM for Monarchy. The Ottamans get Monarchy for Construction, WM, and 23g. Arabia get Monarcy for Literature, 30g and WM. They also get construction for 8gpt, which they came up with after refusing to do gpt for Monarchy. India has Republic but refuses to sell it for anything even two techs and 1100g. Too bad, we only have 19 turns left on research for it. I swap Hastings to a Colosseum and will restart the FP in Canterbury next turn. It is a much better site for it. I don't see anything we are pre-building for so after much puzzling I move on. No one seemed to answer the query.
(I) The Germans declare war on us and burn Reading to the ground. It doesn't look good for the other city over there either. This is what happens when you have agressive neighbors and you leave your cities without any troops in them. Colosseum in Hastings built and they start a barracks. Canterbury builds a settler and starts the FP. Brighton builds a warrior and starts another. Two civs have made the middle ages (discovered currancy) and we get a massive uprising at the barb camp no one bothered to take care of.

Not much to do, pull the boat with the settler back from the German island. Put the scout in Leeds and swap it to a spear from a settler.
