Here there be a save:

And here there be a report. No pics unfortunately. My 1.14 comp is somewhat rusty..
2270BC(1) Check out the lay of the land. Two size 1 cities, one settler and a few warriors.
Arabia is encroaching on our turf. We have one worker. We are behind in tech.
Great city locations though.
Set Madrid to Granary. Power of the people is not anything to sneeze at.
Set Barcelona to Barracks. Power of the fist is not something to sneeze at.
Steer worker towards wheatfields. Irrigating those would be a high priority.
Iros have Masonry,Wheel,Warrior Code and Mysticism and 100 coins
Arabia has same techs, but only 7 coins
Mongols have Wheel and Warrior Code, 9 coins.
Arabia would like to have all our gold (55) and 5gpt for Wheel. ouch. Would have liked to
see where horses were before plopping down settler, but decide to wait. WOuldn't want to
tie myself up to him for 20 turns, in case we would want our money for something else,
like lux.
Instead I go to Iros and fetch Mysticism for 55 and 4 gpt. Unfortunately Mongols would not
accept Mysticism as payment for Wheel. Neither will he part with Warrior Code. Miser.
Found that Madrid is working elephant, possibly for extra shields. I move citizen to
wheat instead, so Madrid grows in one instead of three. People is power.
IBT zzzz
2230BC(2) Explore some, and move settler towards spot between mountain and lake.
Move Madrid citizen out of the forest.
IBT A Barbarian warrior jumps out of the fog in the south. Fortify close warrior.
2190BC(3) zzzzz
IBT Barb moves further south into the mists. Perhaps we have a nearby camp. This could
improve our coffers.
2150BC Hmm, waste one food in Madrid, having food surplus of seven. Not much I can do about
that though. I will think really hard on the Granary thing. It may not even be necessary if
we can run a 10 food surplus, while at same time running 5 spt. Will save lots of time if
that were true.
IBT Warrior in south reappears now that I have moved my own warrior. Persistent little pest.
2110BC (5) Found Seville between lake and hilltop. Will see if Seville gets to work wheat,
or if Madrid will use it. Probably Madrid until I have had time to irrigate some floodplain.
For some unknown reason Arabia has sent two workers to work outside their cultural border.
Some checking reveals that Madrid only gets to 9 food surplus with wheat, so third wheat
goes to Sevilla for now. People is power.
Warrior disperses barb camp and is also promoted. MP in Barcelona ventures out of Barcelona
in order to be able to meet barb gar enough outside Barcelona so that Madrid MP could reinforce
should he lose.
IBT: Barb beelines towards our city
2070BC(6) Barcelona MP redlines, but wins. Time to go back and heal.
IBT Worker finally done with irrigation of wheat. I let him road before moving, since
we would need some money to go together with our people.
2030BC(7) Hmm, Madrid could use an irrigated Plains, then we would make an extra shield every three
turns. More important to irrigate wheat and possibly floodplains also. Fully possible to get
food surplus of 10 in Madrid.
IBT zzzz
1990BC(8) I bump into an English conscript warrior in the jungle to our west, south of arabia.
Time for a tech-check, since we now also have some money.
England is up Masonry, Wheel, Warrior Code and Iron working on us. 10 GC in treasury.
Mongols are up Masonry, Wheel and Warrior Code. Still doesn't have Mysticism though.
Iros have a whopping 184 gold, and are up Masonry, Wheel, Warrior Code and Iron Code
Arabia has Masonry, wheel and Warrior code.
While I do not like to feed the leader, I trade Iros 45 gc and 7 per turn for Iron Working.
I get Masonry and 25 Gold from Arabia for Iron Working
Mysticism and Iron Working to Mongols for Warrior Code and Wheel and their coffers of 9.
So for 7 gpt and 10 gold we have total tech parity. Only problem was that we fed Iros, but
Iros wanted only 7 gpt for Iron, while England wanted 8.
Min Science on Mathematics. Madrid is size 4 so I bump lux taxes a bit.
IBT: A single Arab warrior approaches our borders. Weird. I do not have any empty cities..
1950BC(9) We have horses just north of the Ivory. Only Iron I can find is far away to the east.
Iros and England have horses online. No one has any iron online.
IBT: zzz
1910 BC (10) I do not do much of anything. I will leave it to next leader if he wants to
build a worker or a warrior in Seville. I am hoping the Mongol Archer in the Jungle is doing pointy-
stick with Arabia, and not with us

Ps, Thanks for the help Charis, your Generalissimo was of great help.
