Pre-Turn Strategy:
Worker - mine then road BG, then move NE toward the cow.
Found Sparta on site #1, work the cow then the mined BG after growth.
Athens will continue on with the Rax.
Warriors will continue exploration.
OOB:
1 Settler
1 Worker
3 Warriors
State of the Empire:
Athens (1) grows in 10, Rax in 14
Babs are up Warrior Code and Ceremonial Burial on us.
Warrior Code is due in 25, but we are makin -1gpt at 100% Sci. Going to leave it as is, since founding Sparta will help that.
PreFlight:
Just for kicks, set science to 0%, see if Babs will trade WC. They won't, as expected. Sci back to 100%.
Nothing else to do, so off we go.

2550 BC Turn 30 (10)
Athens and Sparta both grow. Lux to 10%, WC still in 6.
Sparta works the BG N of Athens, and it looks like it will not be timed right - the settler will complete in 5 but growth is not for 7 more turns.
Athens works the mined sugar, Rax now in 2.
Worker NE
Warriors still busting fog.
State of the Empire:
Athens (2) grows in 10, Rax in 2
Sparta (1) grows in 7, Settler in 5
End Notes:
- We can set the 2nd citizen in Sparta to work the grassland next to the river and grow in 8, with the settler still due in 7, but I'll let the team discuss this one. I'm still trying to work the numbers as to why it didn't work out.
