Pre-turn Move workers to road to Groningen.
IBT Portugal asks us nicely to leave his territory. Then a barb galley appears by that same curragh.
1225 (1) Amsterdam grows the the GL is now due in 29.
1200 (2) Utrecht harbor->worker.
IBT Iroquois start the Pyramids.
1175 (3) Damn, some civs have gotten Map Making. Portugal is only offering 76 gold! Take it. The only other person who we can trade it to is the Inca, but they can only offer 12 gold. Decide to wait on them, see if they get more gold. If they get MM some other way, oh well! 12 gold isnt much of a loss.
Unload the settler/archer pair on the iron island and find a tiny lake in the center! Its a doughnut!
IBT Carthage start the Lighthouse
1150 (4) -
IBT Inca declares war on Portugal! I love embassies.
1125 (5) Rotterdam settler->archer. Found Eindhoven on the iron, start on harbor (EDIT: Whoops, sorry, didnt see your comment about 1 S of iron, slinger).
Groningen is connected.
Id like to settler E-NE of Groningen to create a really nice canal. Im not sure if its worth settling so close to Groningen, though. I decide to settle farther away, since theres always N-NW of Leptis Minor (Carthage) for a canal.
1100 (6) -
IBT Barb galley attacks our galley and does nothing.
1075 (7) Hague worker->worker. Oh, Amsterdam grew 2 turns ago, I believe. It brought the GL down to about 20 turns. Currently, Am makes 11 spt, and the GL is due in 18.
Lower Sci to 80%, CoL due in 2, +3 gpt.
1050 (8) Curragh by ice island heads E on a suicide mission
again. Drop Sci to 70%, gaining another gpt, CoL due in 1.
IBT CoL in, start on Republic @ 100%, due in 32 with 3 gpt.
1025 (9) Uh
scratch that. I have to raise lux to 10% to keep Am from rioting. Republic due in 29 now, though. The GL is due in 15 w/12 spt.
Settle Arnhem on the northern Dye, grabbing both.
Curragh survives but still sees no land.
1000 (10) Groningen worker->worker (can be changed, but well need a lot to clear the jungle).
Curragh survives again, but still sees no land.
Theres a curragh up by the northern Babylonian cities. Hes heading south to explore that island west of Uruk.
A curragh is by Utrecht and is heading SE to check out that island SW of Carthage land. He could also stay and wait for another settler to found by the GH on the iron island. That way we dont pop barbs (thanks Tubby for that info, btw

).
Four workers are unmoved. They should probably start clearing jungle.
