I have:
- BW, Myst, Agri, Hunting, AH, Pottery
- 3 cities
- 4 pop (Seoul recently whipped a settler and Pyongyang a worker)
- 4 warriors
- 2 workers
- 1 fp farm, 1 pig pasture, 1 corn farm, 1 road (built outside my border, while workers had a move to spare on the way to the corn)
- 18 bpt at 100%
I decided to back a bit, to t28, in order to better optimize worker turns. Switched to Slavery upon finishing settler 1. I decided to let my initial worker chop a bit more rather than improve the ivory, making its way to the pigs through the hills. When worker 2 came out of Seoul, it moved on the formerly forested grassland hill 1 NE of Seoul and chopped it together with the initial worker on the next turn. Then the 2 of them improved the pig, followed by the corn. One of those workers (the one who finished first), was then sent south to improve the sheep (it put 1 turn into a cottage on its way, on the tile it's currently standing on). The other one went to improve the ivory.
Capital went worker before second settler, then finished a partly-built warrior. Chops all went into the worker or the settler. Pyongyang grew to size 2 on a warrior, then switched to a worker and whipped it this turn.
Seoul's borders will pop on the next turn but I don't think it will encompass the horse. Archers are spawning (there is one marked on the map), and they can start beelining our stuff on the next turn. So I think archery could make sense here to flick in before Writing. There is space for a 5th city near the clam. And it's not visible on the map, but there is land 1 NW of the clam, where a 6th city could go. Not sure about the longer-term plan yet, but I don't think I'll have to attack at construction. Engineering could be an option if there are no good additional city spots. Otherwise cuirs.
Qin (not "Mao", brain glitch) is now also to our south.
Edit: I realized a small suboptimality I made earlier. The worker should have put that turn into the eastern fp, which will have to be farmed to irrigate the rice. Instead it put it into the western fp.
