Preturns: hmm, a diplo check reveals that we have contact with the aztecs. I trade them alphabet, masonry +63 gold for the Wheel and Mysticism. 2 horses in sight, one directly east of athens about 4 tiles, the other to the west on the edge of the penninsula amnimal was exploring. Everything else looks good.

Athens: settler - hoplite
I look around to see if I can spot a nice location for our third city, and settle for an area to the east of athens near the horses. It can borrow one of the mined bg tiles from athens and on expansion will claim the horses
The celts have founded a visible city just across from us so that it's visible, amnimal turns around to go make contact.
4 - Alex pops a hut, it's a free warrior. Our exploring reveals that the aztecs have dyes
5 - Thermopylae founded, set to hoplite for now
Lysander reveals that we have dyes to the east of sparta, and more horses

6 - Exploring
IT - Bart spots a barbarian emerging from FOW
7 - Bart moves onto a hill and finds another one
MM Sparta to get settler in 2 fewer turns
Lysander pops a hut but it's empty
8 -Bart moves south to see yet another warrior! They're all fortified, but I suspect they're going to attack this round.
IT - sure enough, one of them attacks and we win -1hp
9 - bart fortifies.
Contact the Celts, we're up on them Masonry, Pottery, Alphabet and Mysticism! They don't have any gold so I don't sell anything to them
10 - Athens: hoplite - settler, I was considering a granary but I think sparta is going to be our main settler factory. We need to get some production up in it though.
Bart sees yet another warrior. Remember this, if you send settlers to the south make sure they're protected!
A settler will be built in sparta next turn, I suggest it be sent to one of the red dots.
