I posted another city site in the above post. We still have the block of grassland above Aydin to fill it.
I can’t believe we can still research in 4 turns staying cash positive. Tusker will get to jump to the next age. Our #1 goal is Sacred Art. That gives Ganges Pilgrimage and will trip our golden age. It also gives a permanent happy face in every city and doubles the effects of Hindu communities.
I like the catapult ship plan. Let us keep those ships from coming down. If we get enough with ships lethal bombard then we may be able to even kill a few ships.
In 8 more turns Aydin’s borders will expand and we add coffee to our happy sources. I spotted furs north of Chartres with French borders. Our luxury resource situation is looking good.

First spot: I think the 5 unshared forests are better once we get the port, but we will be slower until the port is built
I think I would go for that one myself and start the harbor, but the other is fine as well if others like it.

Most of our well-established cities are building Indian Knights, with a few building Pikes or WEs instead (based on spt).
Some cities are still building Castles. Paris should be online as a healing point by the end of the next turnset.
There is a large stack in Chartres; most of them just got back from healing in Aydin. They'll do very nicely for taking Avignon and settling the Maghreb units trickling in.
Rheims needs reinforcements. The units near Orleans can shore it up until the units near Aydin right now can get there.

Ugg - the loss of the road crew is painful. We never had enough workers this early in the game. It is double tough this one as we have been having bad luck with enslavers hitting 1 defense units.
Glad to see castles on the way. We get the nice period of the game with all veteran units.
I hope we win the race to Royal Tournament.
JJ gets to plan for Ganges Pilgrimage and our GA.

I got it.
After Theology -> Sacred Art I favor going Engineering (bridges and windmills) -> Alchemy.
Elephantium, the stack you positioned at Chartres should let us capture Avigon and get Furs.

Mid Turn Update
We will learn Scared Art in 1670 AD.
It is going to take 10 turns to build Ganges Pilgrimage (needs 300 shields).
I forgot that Ganges Pilgrimage has to be built in a city near a river. Therefore, Bombay cannot build it.
The best I can do is build it in Aydin which can produce 30+ Shields per turn. Ganges Pilgrimage should be 5 turns away from completion when I finish my set.
Istanbul-Constantinople might have been able to do better if I had mined the 2 remaining hills and a few desert titles.
Okay, after Scared Art I will choose Alchemy.IIRC Engineering also cost us some of our free unit buildings.
The French have been defeated in the year 1660 AD.

There is also misinformation in the Civilopedia. India is not Industrious it is Agricultural. I think the reason the Wonder did not work is it has both Industrious and Agriculturial traits checked in the biq.

Is India Commercial, as the 'pedia says? I notice that the Ganges Pilgrimage doesn't have Commercial listed in its traits.

Elephantium, congrats for breaking the 5.000 posts barrier and to all of you thank you very much for reporting the error with the Ganges Pilgrimage. Indeed India is commercial, agricultural and (as it is with all civs) religious. One of the traits for India was changed from industrial to commercial for balancing reasons between the civs. The current settings of the Ganges Pilgrimage only cover 2/3 of the needed traits. These settings for the GW will be changed with the next CCM2 biq and the civilopedia entry for Indian traits will receive a fix, too.
On the other side, may be this makes the game even a little bit more interesting for you, as the gathering of proper traits given by GWs for a GA is cummulative, meaning you should only need to conquer a city with a GW with the commercial trait in it, to trigger your GA (as long as you are still owning the Ganges Pilgrimage) or to build such a GW yourself.

What about a Small Wonder like "The Wawel Castle", with both Commercial and Agricultural traits associated with it?
We are now in the Age of Discovery Era. Would a Wonder that went obsolete in the Ancient Empires Era still trigger our Golden Age?
If the Wonder was another Civilization's Golden Age Wonder and required a specific Civilization Flag to be built would it count toward triggering our Golden Age?

I use a bit of our cash to upgrade some vet spears to pikes at home.
I switch Delhi to pikes. We need more defensive units at the front.
City corruption is killing us. Former France is pretty useless. I switch some towns to admin centers to start working on countering the corruption.
It is 3 turns to Ganges Pilgrimage. With us already getting free Hindu communities this wonder gives us 2 extra happy in every city. I would like to get to the point of not running luxuries. This is a great help.
I up the science rate by 10% to save a turn on alchemy. Technology is where we are hurting the most. One of the constant challenges of AW is being stuck behind in tech.

An attacking crossbow was killed. (1-0)
I begin research on gunpowder. Better units always help. In addition, I would like to locate the saltpeter sources.
