Meet the Roman Empire
There goes the neighborhood, organ grinders and monkeys, oh my!
Turn 19 (3430 BC)
Given the Romans perch on the hill I have no clue where he came from.
The happy wanderers are still recovering from their meeting with the local fauna

Kyoto equips a Warrior
IBT:
Turn 22 (3340 BC)
Kyoto grows again and picks up a hammer
IBT:
Turn 23 (3310 BC)
The warrior is trained and heads NW. I put a turn on a workboat while Kyoto grows and then start a worker
With what appears to be a belt of jungle to the south of France I am going to head the Scout Northeast because that is where I will find the important ores
Turn 24 (3280 BC)
A wolf comes out of the jungle and tries to take a bite out the warrior. The wolf is dead and the warrior gets a Merit Badge (Woodsman I)

And the warrior heading NW steps out of the forest and meets a bogie
And whups him!
Turn 27 (3190 BC)
He too gets his Woodsman I Merit Badge

And this is what the Scout has found in the east. Louis is sitting astride any path that does not involve the jungle. Bah!

Learn Bronze Working
IBT:
Turn 30 (3100 BC)
Looks like City 2 is where it is happening
Start research on Pottery
I do not call for the civics change because it still will cost too much to whip the worker out.
I want to keep at least the two high commerce fields in use. Looks like the Research path should be Pottery=>Animal Husbandry (for Horses and the Cows to the east and it will be cheap as Louis at least is pasturing his pigs)=.>?
Pull the workboat out of queue and replace it with a Warrior as we won't be needing it for a while yet.
Overall the situation is pretty pleasant. The jungle to the east will be a barbarian breeding ground but Louis will patrol it pretty well. And with the traffic we will be seeing from the French and the Romans I have not much fear of too many bogies appearing where we want to settle. The scout should pull in to the east towards a hill that will give him the best view of the surroundings to the east while the warrior in the jungle should plant on the hill above City Site 2. That should keep the barbarian spawn to a minimum. The warrior to the west should continue until he finds another border then head back home. Or if you are feeling nervous he could pull back a little and cover the western approaches from a convenient location close to a forest he can get cover from when a bad guy appears. Right now he is hiding in a forest and licking his wounds, or maybe celebrating his promotion with the local Dryads
Finish the worker, then a warrior, then settler, then granary maybe. A lot depends on the level of barbarian activity coming from the jungles east. And what Julio and Louis feel like getting up to, though the barbarians may well provide an outlet for their more aggressive tendencies.
