Well, here I am, finally counting the turns to research iron working and then... NO IRON. Seriously, no iron at all, except for a source of TWO iron in the middle of the tundra. I was waiting for the iron to show to settle my 3rd city and there is none. Not even my south neighbors (Gus, Bismarck and Boudicca) seem to have it. So I literally gave up, settled my 3rd city near some more gold and marble (the 4th city will be the same) and will make money to buy it from CS, put my spies in CS that have it to rig elections and keep the alliance and move on. Well, at least my bowmen are stacking promotions like crazy. End of rant
