I'll take the pressure off Own and take it. That should leave some time for that homework etc.
2150 BC (40, this set turn 0) OK
2110 BC (41) exploring, nothing really new
2070 BC (42) Inca start building Oracle
2030 BC (43) exploring
1990 BC (44) exploring, Seoul grows, MM for growth
IBT: Inca demand writing. We're in no position to refuse
1950 BC (45)
Now that Inca have writing and have started trading it, not much choice but to trade it too
Netherlands CB+Wheel+2g <-> Writing
Sumeria Mysticism <-> Writing
Iroquois Iron Working <-> Writing+5g
1910 BC (46) exploring
1870 BC (47) Sumerians building the Oracle
Pyongyang would riot, so hire a scientist. Cuts CoL down to 8
1830 BC (48) exploring
1790 BC (49) Dutch start building Colossus
1750 BC (50) exploring
the save

Turnlog is the word document
Here's Own's turnlog in case anyone doesn't have Word or the capability to open the files.
Pre-turn- Seoul works a forest for a turn instead of an unmined grassland, we still grow in two, and we get two extra shields.
1. Doh! I miscounted, I thought we had 6 excess food, but we only had 5
.
2. Send warriors done with exploring back to Pyongyang for MP.
3. Seoul grows to size eight
4. zzz
5. CoL > Philosophy. Trade CoL to Inca for math and HR
6. Worker mines grassland, moves to mine other grassland.
7. Switch Pyongyang from Gran to settler to grab that iron. The AI are closing in on us, granary isnt worth it.
8. Pyongyang Setter > worker (no more land, 50k city needs assistants)
9. zzz
10. MMed, so next player can hit enter.

1300 BC (8)
Inca has moved two warriors into mountain next to Pyongyang. Demand that they leave, and they declare.
IT: One warrior attacks, killing one defender. A second defender had just arrived and was not fortified, but the second Incan warrior does not attack.
So then, from bad to worse. To be honest, I lost interest in this game a week ago. The glamour of 50K in one city quickly faded when I realized the game should play very much like any 20K game would.

Ever since last weekend when the knowledge CivIV was almost out and right up to now when I'm playing it, I've forgotten all about my CivIII SGs'.
I wouldn't mind playing this one up until it was obvious that we'd hit the 50k mark, but probably not beyond. Once we know we'll have enough culture the rest of the turns are rather boring and drawn out. In other words, I could continue this or not. It's up too everyone else.
