Pre-turn Status Check
Carthage builds wk. in 3, Utica grows and builds wk. in 6 turns. Phil. due in 20 at max. science. We have 188 gold and 0 gpt.
Rivals: Korea has 104 gold, down Writing and Math; Celts have no gold and are down IW, Writing and Myst.; Japan has no gold and is down Writing and Myst; Sumer. has no gold and is down IW and Writing. We are weak compared to other civs.

Hopefully I didn't do too much damage here. I couldn't see giving in to Japan's demands, and with them that far away and MM still unknown I don't think they will cause us any serious problems. Still, I would like to dedicate our next city for military builds so we can get ready for Koreans and Celts.
Sorry for the lost curragh guys, but it looked like a pretty good shot at finding another civ. (50/50 chance of making it). The alternative route would have had it back-tracking for some time over coastlines we already know.
