Stop auto-explore of units, prefer to do it myself
Reviewed Thebes. Needs to be size 4 to whip to 2 pop. Decide to change to library so capital can grow to 4 pop before changing back to settler. Stonehenge is put on hold until library is done.
Turn 1:
Worker builds R
IBT:
Warrior beats barbarian.
Turn 2:
Move Worker
Turn 3:
Worker starts mine
Turn 4:
ZZZZ
IBT:
Beat Barb with Scout.
Turn 5:
Worker start forest chop on grassland to build cottage.
Turn 6:
Scout moves inside borders to heal
IBT:
Shaka wants open borders.
Turn 7:
ZZZZ
IBT:
Mao Zedong and Mansa Musa want open borders
Stonehenge is built elsewhere, we get some cash.
Turn 8:
I sign open borders with Huanya to move the warrior through.
Turn 9:
Ohoh
Spanish settler approaches our spot...
I rearrage tenoch to give chop to library (Otherwise settler can only be whipped with 1 pop)
Turn 10:
Worker starts cottage.
Summary:
-Most opponents got writing and we have a few open border agreements.
-Tenochtitlan is ready to whip 2 pop in one go to finish settler. Make sure Settler has more than 45 hammers left to build on whipping turn. This should be fine as 790BC is the turn to Sacrifice blood.
-Isabelle is about to snatch our city spot!!
My suggestion for new spot is 3NE-E of capital, with 2 spice, wheat, lake and several mines).
