Looking good Bede 
Just two small points for mtgfreak: the taxman at Hastings can be fired and there's a new border to be investigated South of Argos:
Good luck

Ah yeah, now I get it - Magic, the Gathering, right?
Good turns too. I checked out the save, and it looks like the settling is going well on the second island, and the map making looks good also. Now we just need lots of military...
Just checking above - is that right 1550 for currency, or was it 150?

@Tal,
190g for currency at monopoly is not possible. When I checked Greece's price it was more than what we could raise even with over 1000g in the treasury. 1590g is about 2X value.
Buying at monopoly for cash when you don't have counter parties with techs and/or cash to make up the difference is commercial suicide. That's why I suggested trading tech for tech with a little cash thrown in on either side depending on the relative values. (BTW, you can get an approximation of knowledge values by cranking up research to the max and multiplying the turns required by the income delta from 0% to 100%.)
220g for HBR from the Dutch is about right given our position with it but I would rather have waited for them to have used the 15gpt we are paying them to fight the Arabs to research something else which we then could have traded for HBR.
Trading Currency for Construction will recover only half the investment. Can we get cash from the other guys as well? As I recall the situation the only people with cash were the Vikings and the Arabs....
Looking through the CrpMapstat screen it appears we can get close to recovery by peddling everthing we know, starting with the Vikings, then the French, then Sumeria, the Hittites and ending with the Dutch. Germany and Babylon are so broke they don't even get invitations to the party. (These island maps must be really hard for scientific nations that aren't commercial.)

Team,
I will be heading at Saturday morning for a work trip for a week and a half. I'll have Internet connection most of the time, but if the game is moving fast, I might not be able to react quick enough when my turn is up. I can play on my laptop during my trip. I will check the forums whenever possible.
-> I can be skipped if needed until 29th of July.

Notes
I have a plan to grab the Iron hill on the East Island:
Simply sail the ship all the way through & land the 2 Swords S of the Iron Hill. There's a Settler under construction at Canterbury and a Galley waiting to transport him over. You can wait for the Settler to disperse the barb camp or use the Swords to mop them up.
I think we're going to lose the race to the last site on our homeland. But it gives us an excuse to build up our military and go to war with the Vikings.
The workers are mainly concentrating on improvements at York as this is our most powerful city at present. The team that has just chopped could road (1) and mine(3) the tile they stand on.
We still have some exploring to do and the last AI to find. Here's our intrepid explorers.
We have a monopoly on Literature, which we should hang onto as a bargaining chip for Republic unless we get a spate of AI entering the Middle Ages. At present only Greece has Engineering so it's well worth waiting until he trades it around before buying in.
There are quite a few wars in progress and I roped Babylon into our war with Arabia as they're close neighbours. We'll need to attack the Vikings fairly soon. Certainly before Chivalry allows them to build Beserkers.
The save is > here <

Eventful turns.
IIRC, Berzerks come with Invention (archer upgrade and longbow replacement), so anything we can do to keep Engineering out of circulation is a good thing, or at least out of the hands of the Vikings.
Nice of Ragnar to build training camps for us. Too bad he didn't join in against Arabia.
Took a look at the dipomatic screen. It is odd that a seafaring nation with the GLight apparently only knows the closest neighbors
, though looking at the map he has villes not all that far from the Greeks (only about 10 sea squares between Karasjok and Pharsalos).
It looks like we have a settlement spot between Gloucester and Cambridge on the home island

I see that William has a worker for sale, so i offer him Philosophy for the slave and 125 gold. Maybe with philo in the bag, he'll start on Republic... We still can't afford Engineering... No research in the Middle Ages could get quite expensive. Is it worth building the GL?
