Alright, took a while partly because I went VERY SLOW to eek out every hammer I could. You can see from the save I really went to value-town.
Anyhow, I over-teched math and glad now, since the AI`s seem to not want to trade ANYTHING to me. I wonder if there was a bug because Saladin, etc. dropped from pleased to cautious despite absolutely no diplo hit. WTH...
The parthenon will be close to completion after all. I`ve been abusing db-whips and putting growth + OF into it. From now on, switch que to a sword every time we are 1-turn away from pop 4, and just db whip, and dump the rest into Parth or whatever.
Also, we needed 1 more worker pronto anyway, so I made one and he is right beside the forest at Parthenon city. Chop that forest now, and by the time its`done we should be pretty much close to completion. We may lose the race but it`s certainly looking viable.
No sign from Surry yet, so we may be safe after all. Keep scouting around his lands I guess to find out for sure what`s going on.
BTW, after iron is mined and forest is chopped, build a road asap between the capital and parthenon. Then send a sword or two towards the barb city in the East. I wouldn`t raze it though, just keep it.
P.S. Saladin has a galley headed toward the gem island. There wasn`t anything we could do anyway so if he settles there no biggie. We still may have room to put a third city there regardless.
After music, we can re-evaluate what to tech next...
