Let's not roll a new start just yet. This is monarch, right? Let's see where this goes first.
Got it for tonight.

agree, let's continue this
Mumpulus
King
Very few turns were played so far; I felt tempted but didn't play more than 10 very quick and uneventful turns.
I switched Rome to a curragh which finished on my last IT. Founded Veii where the settler was, and started a new settler immediately.
Around 2270BC, the Portuguese founded Guimaraes.
IMO, our worker should chop next, probably to aid a granary, then continue to Veii. Settling plan is aimed at pulling in food. We'll need another worker soon, then some military. I don't see any other solution than building TGL in Rome, but it shouldn't be a problem to get it.

Absoutely not reroll a start, let's see what we can do. I thought about a curragh after that settler but honestly I was lost as to what to build. I don't know that I've ever started with such crappy land.

Didn't keep a turnlog as nothing much happened.
I changed Veji to a worker as we need to get more shields there. Changed both cities to settlers after that. One settler is going for Mumpulus spot 1. As there are barb on the map, we should protect settlers, thus one warrior is going to meet settler. We should get some more warriors for protection and to deter Portuguese.
In other big news, the exploring eastern warrior ran into ivory and then met Carthage (their UU will be a pain). They are up 3 techs though which suggests that there are more enemies AI's around.
Writing is in next turn, we should go for MM then and starting a prebuild on time (using the granary)
The land we know so far, there is a barb in the north, hopefully Portuguese will go after it. By the way, please MM our capital as it makes 3 spt and only need 1spt for the last turn of getting the warrior.

I downloaded the save and will play tomorrow. I assume we are allowed to trade for IW? If it's available, I will trade Writing for it. If not, I assume that's our next research project?

Finished playing, it's looking better. Here is my turn-log:
We need to get barracks built and start gearing up for war. We are losing our green areas to the Portuguese, and they must die! They were going to die anyway, but now they need to die even sooner.

I thought we might want catapults first, but we aren't heavily invested yet. We will never have a chance getting GLight done in Rome as slow growing and shield poor as it is. Needs that granary I suggested some time back. No BGs really hurts a wonder build. We'll need to grow Rome alot to get a wonder there. I think a city somewhere in Portuguese territory with the FP would do the trick. After we burn theirs, of course.
We might want to get an embassy in Lisbon... Portugal has a tendency to get the Lighthouse pretty early, so we need to stop them from building ASAP. And we can also figure where to build the FP city in or around the Portugal territory and (if) we can get an MGL we can rush FP and go for the Lighthouse.

Ok, I can play later today.
EDIT: Sorry, I can't get to this one. I missed my turn in Hawk02, and I need to make it up.

I think somebody played an odd number of turns... because that was short...

Maybe I got something wrong here, but with Mm being around and not starting the wonder, we are simply toast with the rules we have. Are we thinking to start in 10-20 turns and still getting the wonder?
