Worker housing expires not too long in the future (beginning of the middle ages with feudalism). I thought forges the better deal.
Greebley,
Good point on the worker housing-forge thing, it was not as cut and dried a decision as it apeared in my write up. Seems that the tech restrictions were going to keep us from the next age for longer than usual, so I thought it was a decent investment. I need to do better notes as I go along to try to get a more fully explained write up.
What do you think about the path I took on the tech trading? I'm curious how others would have handled it.

I think your trade on the techs was good. Not sure what I would have done either. I do agree Lanteen was too much, and you followed the variant as well as one could. The variant itself seems fine in theory, but gets very akward and confused when it comes to tech trading.
Ok. Wasn't sure if you knew that the housing expired. You may be right about it taking a while to get to the next age due to the Variant.

Keiji,
How is it going? Can you give us an update when you can play?

I'm playing at this very moment, I'm at turn 6 now. Nothing much to report 'cept that we have met the Sioux who are thankfully a bit behind in tech.
Cool 
Glad we are meeting new civs.
I think in this game we shouldn't be afraid to gift AI's techs in the hopes that they increase our trading potential (hold back a few optionals to trade and then use those to trade for whatever the civ researches).
Its a good way to get the non-optional (and optional) techs we really need a bit earlier.

think it's safe to trade for some less dead end techs.

Get iron working + 5g from Mongolia for Lateen Sails
IBT
Cupisnique, spearmen -> forge
Not all of our cities are guarded yet, but won;t be bothered

Gogf, Can you tell us whether you can play? I know life is busy for you.
If the next few days are busy for you, I can swap with you if that would be better for ya.

I will give Gogf until tomorrow night which is when I can play this. If we don't hear from him by then, I guess he will be a skip this turn as well.
Was going to play tonight, but had to work late.
No word for Gogf so I think we need to skip him. This is my official "I got it".
I should be able to play in the next 48 hours.

Damn, just missed you. Sorry.
I just saw your post late last night, and descided to respond this morning, but I guess I forgot
.
If you want to skip me, I understand. If you want me to play, I'll do so.

I feel like such an idiot . Sorry, I had too much homework, and can't do it tonight. I will play the second I get home from school tommorow (unless you want to skip me, which I could understand ).

Go ahead and play. And thanks for keeping us updated. I, for one, am perfectly happy with people that need a bit more time. Its the people who vanish without posting that they are leaving that irk me.

Now I feel even worse . We have a history test tomorrow, that we were told about today. Sort of like a "Pop-test," but we get a day's warning.
I really feel like I'm becoming incredibly unstrusted. I also just feel terrible for taking so long. I may be able to play in the morning before school, I may not. I'm so terribly sorry.

That was some serious tech trading Keiji, makes me rethink my whole worker housing idea. I think there are still a couple ancient techs to get, and then...can't remember off the top of my head but seems like 2 dead end techs we have to get in the next age before we can even think about getting feudalism. Probably more of a wash than I originally thought, but I sure like the combo of the added industry and happiness for the price.
Looking forward to seeing your turns when you can get to them Gogf.
