Save
I stopped at 8 turns cause we've got a couple decisions to make.
First off, we have our next tech to choose.
Secondly, we need to decide whether to whip the settler at size 4 or 6. Moscow will grow to 5 next turn if nothing is changed. Or we can swap to the settler and whip in a couple turns. I prefer the 3-pop whip, so that we can save all our produced hammers for the Pyramids.
Third, there's a warrior that still has 9 hammers in it in Moscow if we want to complete it. I thought we had enough units to fogbust, so I swapped to the Pyramids immediately. It will start to decay in the next couple of turns.
I had a couple more thoughts too:
If we are really afraid of Mao and Alex (which I didn't get that feeling BTW), we can gift them fish and clams. It's not like we're using them, maybe that would help relations...

I think we really built one too many warriors from Moscow, since St. Pete is going to have to build something while growing, and it doesn't really have anything else to do.
I think St. Pete should build a second WB that can be used for scouting in the short term and snaring some seafood in the long term.
IMO, seeing the other civ filling up the continent to the west puts more emphasis on settling blue dot before we finish the Pyramids.
