3050 BC (-1) - Probably would have built a settler first in most situations, but since we have two workers, I guess building granary first is the way to go. Plus, if I changed to settler, there would be no good way to MM so as not to waste shields or food.
3000 BC (0) - Meet Babylonians. They have Ceremonial Burial on us.
2710 BC (6) - Granary completes. Begin worker instead of warrior. Just because. Or because all the good spots are on plains, so the next city will be productive faster with another worker.
2630 BC (8) - Realize mining the plains and irrigating the wheat, which is what I did, is only advantageous with a 5-6 factory. Which means I should have built a warrior, not a worker. Maybe. I am still not sure. I thought that maybe a warrior-settler factory would be possible, but I guess not.
2550 BC (10) - Start settler.
Keep building settlers. It looks like we are one shield short of a warrior-settler factory. I probably should have brought this up earlier, but I disagree with the dotmap, and the next post will have my suggested placement. It puts more cities on the rivers we have, and plains reach 2fpt and 1spt faster than grassland, as we irrigate instead of mine. And we don't seem to have many BGs, so plains settling is better when we have workers already irrigating. Since I did irrigate the wheat, we have the option of trading off the wheat tile between the capital and the second city, but that would mean mining and working grassland or irrigating and working non-river plains. I should have done that, as that would have been better for the second city. Oops.

Great!!! Everything goes according the plan... I wasn't sure on researching alphabet on max, I was thinking on buying it from AIs instead, but it looks like it did not take long for us to research it and we haven't met any more tribes. It is up to the next player to make a decision on how to research writing.
