meh ok this is gonna be a short write up, lotta enter.
Orleans is pissed like I expected, I wish we could assign one city to slavery. I consider whipping them for the fun of it, but it would probably be a bad idea.
Forge finished, smoked and built a work boat first before queing the colossus. One turn work boat, next turn colossus. BOOM Great engineer. Lets found some coastal cities. So I hit enter and move workers around a lot. Compass due in one, chopping some backward forest for settler in paris. I am not sure how many turns I took, around ten, stopped at 300 AD.
There is a barb GALLEY on NW coast
Prob make a landing next turn. One more wonder.Oh, and I put some obelisks in the ques before they go obselete with calendar.

oh yeah, St. Augustine completed some great work, listing the most powerful civilizations. We were worse thean puny, we are not even on the list 
. All 8 were unknown. I recommend we either make a good friend early ( risking alienation by others) or build a little military before we meet all the other guys.

We don't need obs, because we're not going for a cultural win. The next person can remove them from the queue. plus, we're close enough to theaters anyways..we dont need +1 culture at this point.

Okay...i will get teh save and play tonight...also, unless there was another reason for the obs, then I will delete them...also, with Colossus, perhaps our next city should not be in the middle of the island w/o any coast...maybe settle on that plains hill to snag those clams and all those hills in the SW?? post your thoughts on this today b/c as i say, i will play in about 12 hours or so...

Well, we could really use the happiness resources to grow our cities... but I get your point. both are going to need alot of terraforming to get up to production.
We should aim to settle both in the next 2 turnsets. chop out the jungles and improve, and get as many scientists as possible. We're backward as all hell.
It is funny, this being y'alls attempt at prince, to get the WORST kind of start.

With the GL and Colossus, there's no point in settling the interior untill all coastal sites are occupied. We already have at least one of each Happiness resource witin our city radii, so location probaby isn't that critical. SW might be best because it is surrounded by forest rather than jungle, and will get up to speed more quickly. Check the dot maps - think the most recent one is on page 5.
BTW, how is our economy doing?

Its in the stinker. We've got to be behind techwise, and our economy is one of the worst. That's because we're isolated.
So yeah, let's go coastal, and take advantage of GL and Colossus.
We need libraries, granaries, lighthouses, and harbors....NOTHING else right now. Grow the cities to get scientist specialists, they'll make up for our lack of commerce for the moment.
Edit: By nothing I mean we just need those buildings. We can always use more workers or settlers.
Make sure that we have an explorer or scout loaded into the caravels when we get them. Once we get caravels, they become the top priority. Get two, and send them in opposite directions.
We then need to beeline to galleons...make sure that we have a longbowmen, settler, and worker combo for 2 galleons, and 1 galleon with 3 offensive units (for barb beatdown on new island is necessary)

if you look at that dotmap in my post, i'm not sure the red-orange combo will work though...perhaps it would be better to combine them into one city...perhaps on that empty grassland hill
