Forgot about the oracle. I usually try and ignore the early wonders in my games.

well nothing against except for the thing that we will have worker in 5T and no settler on the way...
we could eventually cottage the FP's around cap though for some quick breeze through the techs...
I can see me going this way...

I can't look at the save either but with one city is there enough work for 2 workers? Not a criticsm at all, just asking. Like nocho, I like BW faster.

I would say yes to a degree... depends a little on the future city spot... but mostly yes.
I could precottage the FP's to west, or preroad north and prechop forests around capital...
so I think yes, there will be enough work for 2 workers and even then the delay will be not big, since will grow on FP's+corn and size 5 will be really quick...we can probably even outgrow improvements...
if team agrees I would adjust and after worker build wars and improve FP's to the west for maxing commerce

Sorry for not saying anything, I just had some personal things going on, and SG's are last on my To-Do list, but I'm back open now, everything is good.
Just on the roster, I'll swap vranasm and TheFragleader, thereby ...
lymond
vranasm < Up
TheFragleader < On Deck

... thereby allowing vranasm to take this turn. I'll also amend the roster in the opening post.

played the turnset to finish BW and things turns out pretty good I say.
We have copper! actually it is in our culture borders (not in bfc though).
All units survived and we got shields from event!
now to more formal writings a bit
t0,1 zzz
T2 worker starts cottage in the west
T3 we meet another AI (Persia)
t4 zzz
T5 warrior defeats another lion -> woods I, we get shields, worker is built and sent to prepare another cottage in west
T6 zzz
T7 worker joins the 1st worker to finish cottage right at the time of BW
T8 zzz
T9 BW in
sent 1 worker to forest 1W of capital, the other worker waits for orders.
screens
We are near jungle, there is no immedietaly great land above gold and cows. But we still should rething the gold situation a bit with copper nearby.
I would suggest to quickly build 2 settlers to claim the good land around us, we have almost 200 gold in bank and it should speed our teching towards Oracle etc.

Nice to get the cover promo. That'll allow a bit of early pointy-REXing if we need it.

Alright, once we get some ideas in for what we should do, I'll play
We should probably let vranasm finish his turnset!
@ vranasm
I'm quite OK with lymond's proposed Gold city now ... what did you have in mind?
Generally my thinking is to press on to Priesthood also, and research Writing while chopping out The Oracle. If we can sling Theology in time 'great', but I'm guessing it will be the 'Code of Laws > Confucian Temple > specialist Priest > bulb Theology' suggestion that we're likely to confront, if anything. Aksum should grow to 5 before the Settler(s).
... and 'yay!' on Copper in the capital's BFC!

Looks like it is in our BFC
Wow, actually got a good event for once
quick thoughts:
why lay a cottage down outside the city's BFC?
Let's move the warrior just nw to a better spawnbust position. i just fortified him there at the end of my turnset since a lion appeared.

lol I actually thought that it's 3N of capital :-D... has to be some blackout yesterday...
I agree with gold city the way it is
about that cottage, if we go with 2nd city to the west we have already 1 free cottage to work and grow. I didn't see any good improvement around current capital which I could build (I could build grassland cottage, but that's food neutral, or farm grassland river which doesn't seem good too). Or I could preroad to gold city which we were not in agreement since people wanted to adjust according to food.
that said I can see now that I should have went to mine that plains hill 2N! I just don't understand why I thought it's actually outside BFC.
I would place the warrior on the jungle hill for better defense, nw is plains tile
@Cam_H
I consider my turnset "finished" since I achieved what I was planning to do. I don't really mind short turnsets.

Good news on the copper!
Do we squeeze in AH? If we settle gold city next I guess it would be logical. If we get cows and gold online soon we may make up partially for the lost time. Could be convinced otherwise though. And then, straight run to PH through poly, or writing first?

that's pig iron...we can mine it and there is enough food in that city in the meantime.
AH is generally the best approach. The grass cows up north are a strong tile, but AH will likely throw off our plans. Some times you have to sacrifice a good tech if you are going for a sling on higher levels.
We can a lay down a few farms for the Gold city, enough to work the gold until the cows come home.
Gold is great, but I still like the west city better since it can help more with expansion
granted all this isn't exactly "play the map' but this is a variant
