Done mostly as planned; fishing+ mysticism in, Paris has started the settler. Ronnie, I mined with the worker instead of farming the floodplains. Reason - by the time the FP farm would have finished, Paris would have been stagnating at size 4 on the settler. So the grass hill mine was a faster payoff (5 turns instead of 8 turns) for equivalent yield. It also allowed to double-up the horses which seemed like a good idea; that was a net gain of 2F1C (switching the FPH to the horses) whereas improving another tile at Paris only gives +1H when building a settler. As of now, the workers have finished roading the Sheep but not the Horses.
My suggestion is splitting the workers. One goes to mine the PH 2W of paris, followed by farming the FP. Prechopping for Oracle also a possibility. The other worker roads the horses, maybe chops for Orleans? not sure.
A barb city appeared a few turns ago:
Must be something nice in the fog to the west. Also nice that it will do some spawnbusting for us.
Southern warrior found this:
That's his capital borders. Note the eastern corn, that can go with the southern gems, so the pig/clam/northern gem city looks better. The presence of Ramsses scout means it's probably safe to go NW across the one open plains before continuing into the jungle. This guy killed one barb warrior and got Woody I. Brennus's scout in the north killed something. Other than those and the city, no barb activity spotted. Paris's two new warriors are headed to recommended spawnbusting locations:
Those will cover the south well.
In the north:
Nice, fish/deer will be another decent city down the road. The extended tundra is annoying as it can't be fully busted with one guy. I'd be tempted to just park our warrior on the sign for most spawnbusting/warning instead of finishing exploring as we have no warriors at home right now. Further exploration of north can wait, unless the mapmaker put a ZOMG 2 fish/2furs/2silver site we aren't going to to settle there for ages.
Not sure about Orleans next build. Finishing the warrior probably not a high prioirty (I went with working the FP first so the warrior only has a few hammers sunk into it). Could be 2nd WB to scout or another worker. Whipping Orleans could be profitable even without granary.
I picked Polytheism as next tech but that's not definitive of course.

Spoiler :
Once we have a forge in Paris an idea might be to put Paris on building the Pyramids. That would solve our research/help with happy by running rep.
. Writing gives our cities something to build and boosts our tech rate speeding up future techs. So my thinking within our constraints would be writing - med - priest - pot - mas (mids in Paris)- (sailing for the GLh if building, barb city blocks off potential trade routes atm) - alpha - math - currency (always thought we have left currency to late in the last SGOTMs). Hopefully pick up techs like monarchy etc by trade as we do need to improve our happy cap.
in 5 turns, but it is 3 turns to complete the WB, so we shouldn't lose any
