"Let's found Istanbul here."
"NO, over there, bananas ..."
"No over here!"
Shahryar raised his hands in despair ... "Tell you guys, what, why don't you all tell me a story each, whoever tell the best story will decide."
And so began the 1001 Arabian Nights ...

Settled in place, for reason stated above.
Research is set to AH (let there be horses!!! [pray]), and build is set to worker.
Meanwhile, the huts were popped. No free tech
Met Izzy's scout early ... I decided to gave her a chance to tell me about Ali Baba and the 40 Rapists ... but she is suicidal that she must follow my warrior who turned away.
Result is one dead scout with no story. Apparently, she wasn't interested in Arabian tales, but was busy seeking enlightenment, as usual:
Okay, I shall give you a hand in sending you to the realms of paradise.
That will slow her down a little as she should cower her workers under our archer. This is actually good, since she is on the path of the only land route to us. So other AI would need to fight her before reaching us by land.
The map revealed thus far ... no horse. I am setting research to BW ... and hoping for metals.
