Preturn - I have a bit of a weird feeling... It says CS ETA 38 turns. Bindamels Screenshot shows ETA 32. In his post he mentioned CS in less than 20 turns... Since i also had some weirdness about the slider as well i am not sure if something is messed up... I checked and doublechecked my game beeing unmodded, my custom assets beeing completely empty - even deleted Blue Marble... I re-downloaded Bindamels save just to be sure, and will play from it...
- Slider is at 0% with +3 gpt
- CS due in ~38 turns
Also just now i opened up imageshack to upload my screenshots and noticed that i did not do any.
Turn 150 - 165 / 800AD to 1010AD
Trun 150 - I revolt to HR right away. Our happy cap makes me

and CS is to far away to wait. I do not take Caste System. There is much that has to be whipped and we donot have the pop for "unlimited" scientists. Perhaps we can revolt to Castle System/Buerocracy at the same time.
- I am going to settle the GS. Right now our best city is turning in 7 Beakers, so Akademies can wait. Bulbing Philosophy would delay CS 3 more turns (for Meditation). I choose Moskow, as it will probably get a Akademy as well later on. We have 30

/turn right now so settling him will give us a 20% increase.
- As no hammers are invested in Builds in Moskow and Novgorod i change Moskow from Axe to Market for economy and Novgorod from Colosseum to Axe as in upcomming HR the Axe is a cheaper (and more versatile) source for happiness.
Turn 151 - The Venerable Bede puts us dead last in "Cultured Civilizations"
- Beeing in HR with a bit better happy cap i send the scientists in the fields for a turn or two to grow the cities.
Turn 152 - Shwedagon Paya built IAFAL
- Alexandria done Colosseum -> Barracks.
- Also a couple of scientists can return to the labs, fit and refreshed after one turn of work in the fresh air.
Turn 153 - St.Peters doen Sword -> Sword.
- Chop one of the pre-chopped forests near Moskow. The riverside grassland is going to be a cottage.
Turn 154 - I Trade CoL to Hatty for Sailing. Meditation, Archery and 50 gold. She is the only one without CoL, so she will probaly tech it at discount price really soon anyway. And Sailing allows our Cities to have foreighn trade, so i can put the slider up to 30%
- Also Memphis is going to get a Lighthouse, as the Clams is the Only +

tile we have there.
- Right after the trade i close Boarders with Hatty. She was Moving about 6 units trough our lands - presumably after those Barb cities. We dont want her to sniff around and take cities in out backyard.
Turn 155 - The Colossus is Built IAFAL
- Lighthouse in Memphis whipped.
- St.Peters, Alexandria and Novgorod are back to 2 scientists each.
Turn 156 - Izzy comes asking for Open Boarders. We have no idea where her boarders are, but we accept.
- The Partenon is built IAFAL.
- Alexandria done Barracks starts a Catapult.
- Memphis done Lighthouse and back on the queued Colosseum.
- I waited for Hatty to suicide the 2 Units she slipped through before i closed the boarders, she only looses 1 but softens the Barb City.
- The city is taken without loses on our side, yields only 22 gold and is burned.
Turn 157 - Kublai DoW's on Wash... One of them is going to ask us to join soon

- Hatty comes asking to trade Currency for Horseback Ridding. Its a economy tech, and her offer sounds a bit cheap, so we refuse.
Turn 158 - Novgorod done Axe starts Catapult.
- St.Peter done Sword, starts Catapult.
Turn 159 - Hatty wants us to stop trading with Mongolia (do we trade ?!). I send her away... Another -1 in diplo does not matter much with Egypt. Most of our trade Routes income comes from Mongolian cities.
- St.Peter, Alexandria and Novgorod Whip Catapults, Moskow whips Market.
- Amrican troops close on another barb city. I worry he might take it, so i attack first.
- Catapult surwives at 55% odds, the rest is a walk in the park and Navajo is burned for 99 gold. The Spot was not terrible, but Jungle infested, so it would take time untill the city can be made productive.
Turn 160 - Moskow done Market. Bilds Axe for Garrison/Happy.
- St.Peters done Catapult starts Sword.
- Alexandria Catapult -> Swordsman
Turn 161 - The Great Library is built IAFAL
Turn 162 - Kublai comes asking us to join in his war. I knew this is going to happen

I Refuse. Another -2 towards Kublai... But we dont even know where he is, while Wash is close and looks dangerous.
Turn 163 - Mausoleum isbuilt IAFAL
- Whip the Colosseum in Memphis. The city is in trouble, pressure from Egypt, "We yearn to join Motherland"-
Turn 164 - Finished Colosseum in Memphis, start Spear.
- Hinduism spread to us (Memphis). I do not convert, thou it might be a option - Wash is Hindu, and he's the closest thig we have to a friend at +1 stance.
Turn 165 - Moskow done Axe, start Settler (Schould be good for a 2 pop whip in 3 turns - right on time as the Whip-

will disappear in 4).
- St.Peters done sword and starts new one.
- Alexandria done Sword and start Catapult.
- Novgorod Sword -> Sword.
Feel free to override those last builds, as no hammers are invested yet.
