Can't remember anymore. Finished the game a while ago. These threads are a bit late for some.

Was the iron to southeast of capital (in my BFC) a natural occurance or generous gift?

Settle west on T1
Worker
AH, BW (really sweet, was that natural?) Head to IW.

CS sling, attacked near by residents, GLH and 11 cities at 0 AD. Think I am heading to war. (Hope I remember to finish the game first)

Well, it was meant to be a fun game.

After sending my warrior 1SW and seeing the coastline, I decided to settle 1N to give space for a second settlement to the south. An unlucky battle with a barb archer (75% in my favor) prevented me from placing my city #2 where I wanted it, but its current location isn't really that bad.

Tech path: Ag->AH->BW->TW->Myst->Pottery->Writing->Med->PH->CoL->CS(Oracle)->Sailing->Alpha...

I currently have 6 cities and I am researching Education with 100% Science at 153 BPT(-34GPT). I will also produce a GS to bulb Edu in 2-3 turns.

My Wonders: Oracle(1280BC), Parthenon(450BC), GLib(75BC), Hanging Gardens(50BC)
Foreign Wonders: SH(1560BC), Mids(500BC), GLH(275 BC)

My plan is to build Universities+Oxford and then build a massive army of praetorians and catapults to capture cities from my nearest neighbor, for more turns of deficit research.
