Turn 16
Looks like Zara has a surplus of grain, fortunately it isn't all irrigated.
Turn 17
Meet this bloke coming from the east of Zara
Also Buddhism FIDL.
Turn 19
From the far north we meet the founder of Buddhism
However I later bumped into a second scout from him coming from the East around Zara's culture, so he's probably not from the far north.
Turn 22
Meet a Babylonian guy, but I forgot to label where.
Our warrior also had to fend off the first lion. We survive unscathed with an extra pelt.
Turn 25
Worker is done -> Warrior in 20, growth in 11.
I decide to irrigate the corn over the wheat to get the extra food over the extra hammer.
Turn 26
Hinduism FIDL.
Turn 27
Mansa converts to Hinduism
On turn 30 I'm done so that's it for the set.
My intention was to send the warrior back around Zara to see if there is a worker on the corn, I think we still have a few turns before the border pops...

Here is the land so far:
And the diplo, a very exciting dull gray as you would expect:
