Please do! I'm inclined to send the current settler to the incense, since that will be the next French settler's target, then use the Lexington settler for the ivory.

Sounds like a fun game, I will go back and give the scenario rules a thorough look over...

Tal, thanks for signing on. 
If you've got the time in the next day or two, grab it now. If not, then we can slot you in whenever's good.
An important note: the first post says 1.15b, but it's actually 1.22f (I see you have both)

Let me go next but one, if that's OK, I'm up in 2 SGs at the moment, and both are very nearly finished, which of course means long industrial era turns...

Here is the save
My fellow Confederates,
I am pleased to advise you that the settlements of Atlanta and Houston have been founded these ten turns past. Ivory and incense are now within their respective town limits. Our Confederate scout has recently discovered a source of gems, to which one of our settlers is currently enroute. An additional settler is now slightly west of Lexington, headed down river and may be placed where the next gentleman may see fit. We have just now this last turn discovered the advance of writing, and an embassy was immediately established with Washington, D.C. Therein we discovered two regular warriors in garrison. The town presently contains no resources or luxuries whatever, and a palace its sole improvement. With a population of 2, it was producing 3spt, building a settler. In terms of scientific advance, we are researching philosophy, due in 10 turns. A new civ, the Mayans were recently discovered, but they are no more advanced than the others. No other civ has learned writing, while we may learn warrior code, iron working and mysticism from any of a number of them. Please feel free to negotiate any deal that you see fit. We have regrettably to date only seen one sighting of horses, and it will in the near future reside within the limits of the Spanish town of Seville. I would hope that our search will uncover a new source in the near future.
Respectfully,
Jefferson Davis

Got it! Been very busy the last couple of days, but should have enough time to give this plenty of focus now
Just checking the previous turns to see what our gameplan is...
Hmm, looks like I might hang on to Writing until Philosophy comes in, then do some trading... Bit more scouting seems to be a good call. And it seems we are going for a fairly loose city build - not quite OCP, though
If any of that seems utter gibberish, let me know!

4 luxuries?!?! [dance]
I might have set research to CoL since no one else has writing yet. That way we could pick up Rep as the free tech.
M60 - We really have to figure out what you're doing with those screenies.
Do you use paint?
Here's what I do:
press "print screen"
Open Paint
Press ctrl+v (paste)
Save as ..... whatever
change format to jpg
Onr thing someone told me was to change the size attributes way down, to 2x2, or something. then when you paste in the picture, it may/may not ask you to expand the fields. Select yes. If I had to guess, I'd say you've got the size preset way too big.

The Diaries of Tallanas "Drystonewall" Jackson ( 
)
The recent history of the Confederacy is one of quiet but steady expansion, pioneering academic works and the development of a comfortable life for its citizens that is the rival of any civilization in the world.
In 1650, Miami, FL, was founded on the banks of the Shenandoah river in an area most condusive to the growing of sugar and food crops, with the potential to become one of the great cities of the Confederacy. Rather less auspicious, however, are the hills and cold, wintry plains that surround Montgomery, AL, founded in 1525. This strategic outpost will control a valuable source of precious stones in the Appalachians, in addition to a source of iron there. However, the city will need to grow first, and gieven the rugged terrain, the inhabitants may have to rely on the fishing grounds nearby as their main food source.
Discovering Philosophy and Mathematics together in 1525 was a real boost, and enabled us to host a scientists convention, teaching the Americans how to write in exchange for the secrets of Iron Working, Mysticism and a healthy donation to the treasury. We also developed a new Warrior Code, which will improve our primitive Warrior bands. Our scientists now want to develop a proper system of recording all this new knowledge.
Furthermore, Mr Beauregard had an amusing anecdote to relate. Whilst traversing the mountains northwest of Florida he fell in a pool of water which contained some extremely potent berry juice used by the local natives in certain rituals. The dye is apparently so strong that it discoloured his skinfrom head to foot and his men to this day call him "the Aubergine."

Thank you for your report, Professor Jackson. It was a most complete and reassuring one. Mr Sesn, sir, would you kindly move with all dispatch towards securing these additional luxuries? In turn, I will see to what extent I can improve my skill at image sizing.

If the settler nearest the dyes moves one more tile NW, a city there can get the dyes and the iron nearby... There are plenty of other nice spots in the river area to the SW - wheat, silks, BG etc. Not bad at all.

I just realised I forgot to mention a few points.
First, the Statue of Zeus hasn't started yet, I just wanted to highlight that we could build it... Second, the barracks in Lexington can be changed to granary, although I thought the barracks here was appropriate! The forest chop next to the city should complete next turn to help with this. Third, there are 2 settlers on their way to nice sites, and a third will be available in 2 turns. Last, the scout in the middle of our lands is intended to scout out the Mayan area, whilst the ordinary scout out west follows the coast area... But that's up to the next better player

Oooh. Glad you posted, I completely forgot to ask you guys something.
I started playing the turns last night and I came upon an interesting situation. About 6 tiles S of CI, I ran into TWO unescorted Mayan settlers. I am really considering taking them up. My thoughts:
upside: The Mayans lose two settlers early, which will put them in a bad spot and trying to make up ground. Always a good thing to do to a neighbor.
We would also get 4 more much needed slaves. The Mayans will switch to wartime production, furthur limiting their growth.
downside: We will be involved in something of a "fake war". While there will undoubtedly be some limited fighting, I don't expect and real gains or losses to made. Some people view this type of thin as exploitive. We will also have to divert some of our resources to defenders, and will slow our own growth, at least a bit. There is a possibility that the Mayans could sign someone else on against us.
What are the thoughts from the team?

2 unescorted settlers, eh?
Far, far too tempting. I see nothing wrong with enslaving a few natives - after all, the south wasn't all that averse to a bit of slavery. It would also make a huge difference to Montgomery AL - 4 slaves there will make it a reasonable city, rather than it having to ****** its own growth spitting out workers...
So, my rather hawkish vote goes for
but I welcome input from anyone who wants to represent the dove camp...
