Well, you certainly can imply stuff from that. Got it, playing atm.

3 turns done, and we've got Lit 
All other techs that are unknown to us are researched excepted CoL so we're due for trades if we're not going Rep straight up.
Now though, to TGL or not to TGL? If we are going to, I wouldn't sell Lit. If we aren't I'll have ago at grabbing every tech of the tree. I'd rather try a capture, but that's not a given. Waiting for input to resume play.

I think we need to focus our energies on war if we're going to get anywhere. I don't think we can spare a few hundred shields for the GL at the moment. So I say no. Besides, without a prebuild, I'm not sure our chances of getting it are all that good.

400 shields = 20 Bowmen. That can capture anything, as long as we build the stone chuckas to go with 'em.

I agree capture not build... trade man trade.

Pre-Turn: all good
T2.
Gain a turn over Philo with the roads
MM is out, celts and mayans have it.
T3.
Philosophy -> Literature -> CoL
Lit +18g for MM (celts)
Lit for Myst +48g - Polytheism isn't out yet. (mayans)
Lit + MM for Math + IW + 12g (Korea) -> Construction is out
Lit + MM for HBR +31g (Red beard)
Monopoly on philo is intact but insufficient for Construction.
Start CoL at full deficit with 134g to burn (19 turns though)
T4.
Korea learns currency, Maya buys, we can't afford either
T6.
Maya completes the pyramids
Philo drops in price so I sell korea and celts for 77+22g
T7.
Celts learn philo and it's no longer good for a thing ...
T10.
Mayas learn CoL. Yay =/ Philo +216g won't buy it but is close to a deal, so within a turn or 2 we might be able to get it.
OTOH we could buy it for 14gpt, philo and 12g, for a min run on Republic afterwards during our massing of troops.
Akkad is building catapults, Babylon will have a chop for its next bowman (can be redirected to Ellippi with a wonder too)
Average vs vikings, weak vs 3 others - which shows definite progress, considering vikings begin with archers.

Let me get this straight. We researched philo first then got lit as free tech?
Why take lit for free, the ai usually doesn´t reseach it and it´s not the most expensive one. If you had gotten something else we probably could have maxed on lit and get a monopoly on that too.
Now I agree on buy CoL and min on republic, mass units and attack in not too much time, as the AI is likely to run off otherwise.

Hmm, was wondering that. Esp. if we had Maths - Curr or Constr would've provided some nice trading material 
I tend to go for Curr as the AI will often be researching Constr first.
Unless there's disagreement I'll stick some culture in Ashur (Temple and Lib). I also like the min run on Republic idea - I doubt we'll get into the MA quicker than 50 turns, the cash will come in handy, and our free tech will give us a boost when we need it.

I just hoped my unwise tech move didn't make everyone around despair for this one

Thanks for the thumbs up dl 
If you want to make it up to me though, you can always come and spam my SGOTM thread. I'll let you guess which one it is when you get there
