Xcal's plan seems good to me as well. And Niklas is definitely right, that missionary is valuable to us, since we can't use monasteries.

What will Wang trade?
--- The Save ---
I played to 320 BC. We have Calendar, have just settled ourthird second city down by the iron (called Bonanza), and will settle our fourth third next turn by the sheep.
Two workers are building another preserve by Smurkzaki, which is now size 12 and maxed out on happiness. I've tentatively set it to worker -- we should really hook up the marble before starting MoM, and there's just nobody to do it.
The third worker is near Bonanza, under the mace. It's put one turn into a road on the tile it's standing on. (No other "hidden" worker moves anywhere; it had too far to go.) I have no idea what to build there; it's set to airport just for hahas. Three turns until border expansion.
The last airship recon went SW from Pyongyang. Not much to be seen, but plenty of options for the next try. Note that Hammy does seem to know someone else besides Wang and Joao, as he is willing to trade monotheism, and neither of those two has it.
Spoiler The Autolog. Lots of comments toward the end, so worth reading. :mischief: :

Clearly we need more workers. I don't understand why you didn't road to Bonanza, since we will want to hook up the iron. Where did the second barbarian uber-archer go?

We definitely need more airships 
I'm not that great with worker moves. 
I didn't road there because I felt it was more important to be able to get some of the resources there developed locally, and there was no time to do both. What would we use iron for?
The second barbarian archer committed suicide against the one of ours that's fortified in the forest -- its' almost back to full strength now. Nice, no?

No worries, that's not a bad choice, though if you weren't going to build roads, why did you build half a road?
Anyway, here's a screenshot of our current empire - we need to mine both iron and uranium... lots to do around Bonanza.

By the way,
well played turnset - I'm really glad we have three cities now.Because I couldn't have started mining the iron before next turn anyway, based on where the worker was last turn.
And thanks.
BTW, I forgot to mention but in Chris's screenshot you can see where the northern archer wound up -- busting fog out west of the city we're about to found.

Looks very nice indeed.
I think Bonanza (great name) should build worker first. I'm tempted to do the same with the NE city. As Chris says, we need a ton.

Let's not go too crazy with workers. They slow growth and by the time we'd be done building them, the need for them will be less. I think we can keep up with just the one more that the Cap is building. Too bad it's so hard to hook up the marble--we'd like it quickly for MoM. But maybe Cap can build more maces or an airship while we're waiting.
And although I got beaten to it while busy updating the Summary post, excellent job, Renata! We made a lot of progress this turnset!

MoM isn't sped up by Marble - we want it for Taj though. And we really can't have too many workers, two per city is really a lower limit.

My information came from the CFC pedia page, I'm not really surprised to see it wrong though I wish I had known earlier, then I would have pushed for marble to be connected by now.
Tsk tsk. You need to look on the bright side!
It'll be a lot quicker to build MoM than you thought! And really, we've had more urgent things to do than hook up the marble. Maybe Cap should build another worker after this one finishes, though.
Marble won't actually cut the build time to half, we already have the +50% bonus from Bureau so it will cut it to 60% of what it would be without Marble. But sure, it's nice that it's sped up, but as Renata points out it will be delayed quite a bit overall. I wanted to start it immediately, so what will we do with the time we now suddenly need to wait? And how fast can we get Marble connected? To me that takes priority over any other worker moves at this point.
Lots of things to do -- workers, maces, airship, even granary, though growth is quite fast even as it is.
We can have the marble up in 6 or 7 turns if we send both of Smurkzaki's current workers there. They have a turn or two left on that preserve (needed for size 13); one will be free before the other one. Next turn NESheep is founded. That turn or the turn after, we move to the sheep with the free worker and start the road(second worker following one turn behind); after that, to the tundra; after that to the marble. It's not even much of a delay.
