Pressed enter and:
I gave this a good thought... in spite of not coming in the best time possible, I was already thinking on revolting ( 1

in capitol and guaranteeded peace with Sal as long as I want ). So we get hindu
Some turns later I settled Hamburg ( never understood the city order of Civ IV: first German city should be Koln ( the millenar
Colonia Aggripina ) ) 2 S 1 E of the cooper (forgot screenie ). My reasoning was that I would never get the Berlin culture to pop in time to cover the cooper... Either way with CS will be a very decent prod site.
Oracle got done and MC was grabbed:
Immediately started a forge in capitol. The capitol will be a pretty strong site with beauro.
Some more turns and a strategical chop later:
Failed the 1000 BC bench mark of OTAKU because of sharing tiles with Hamburg ( the monument had to go fast enough for the collosus ). Anyway I got a settler while waiting for the Hamburg border pop out:
I know this might not be the spot everyone would think on, but berlin simply can't handle so much sea food before HR or Rep without Slavery ( that I didn't adopted... wonderspamming capitols should not be whipped. And that nasty slave revolt event .... ). This city a strong food potential and it surely can be a strong cottage center with a big pop ( remember that trade routes have a pop modifier )
Some turns later, my version of the marble site:
Again this will not be consensual ( bleys and Co, forgive me, but settling on marble gives a utterly crappy city )... This is the only marble city that has some food ( will get better with windmills in the grass hills ) and will develop decent prod.
Wonder #4 ( look mum, without marble )
Had a Hind spread, right in the only unhappy city I had at the time . Sometimes I love the RNG
I was preparing to wrap up the game when I saw this:
Saladin bought Monarchy most surely ( last turn he lacked 20 turns to finish it ). I open the diplo and settle this deal:
Simple: I wanted HR fast ( org Rel also fits in my plans ) and IW is self explanatory.... But my deal also has a devious propose: none of the aesthetics wonders is done and I want to tempt saladin to make wonders and not archers

. Knowing Saladin he'll try a stab at lit as well and that will delay Feud. I revolted ASAP to HR + Org Rel
And this is why I present 2 saves: as the revolt stopped at 25 AD I prefer to adress a save before and after the revolt... some data ( before HR + Org Rel ):
First F1 screen:
F3 ( like I said before HR + Org Rel )
F5 ( Don't laugh... I normally use paper thin army )
City screens:
Berlin:
yup, I had some GMs so far.... I would had prefered a GE or a GP but the food and the money are welcomed. Notice as well the 4 wonders in capitol....
Berlin is preparing for another wonder, the Great Library. Maybe I'll take a stab at HG ( the health and the extra pop would come pretty handy ).
Hamburg
Hamburg has not that much of food ATM ( will get far better with CS ), but has a really strong prod potential. By now it is chunking axes for garrisons. will try to get Hindu here ASAP ....
Munich
we'll Munich as problems with prod, but has a exceptional food potential. That and the riverside tiles make it a strong cottage center candidate. by now it is using the food to chunk workers for the marble city....
Cologne
Well, this city is still a infant. It has food issues, but will be a decent prod site when windmills get here. Will take some turns to pop borders ( I plan to get a Hindu missionary here ASAP ). Probably will not get it in time for a major stab in TGL ( now that Saladin has aesthetics I need to hurry ) ,but it is a deserving spot by it self.
I hhaven't explored too much ( too many worker swaps between the islands to free the galley and too few openings to produece a scouting WB ). but from the score i can say that Saladin has roughly 10 pop ( I get 4 Sal cities in the trade routes ). It knows at least another neighbour ( probably 2 ), but hadn't tech traded a lot.
On me: next priority is clearly some exploring to see if it is feasible and desirable a attack on Saladin and to check the rest of the civs. Saladin had not pressed me so he should have space behind me... maybe a peaceful expansion coul be useful. And no more wonders for a while .... ( except maybe HG ).
Well, time to see the other games.
