Just make sure to put signs where you pre-chop. You might want to clean up some of the older signs that aren't needed anymore too.
SGOTM 16 - U'nu'sual S'us'pec'ts
- Thread starter AlanH
- Start date
1) Did we decide on a harbor or a Buddhist temple in GP farm?
2) And in Production I'm going to go Courthouse -> Barracks (overflow) -> Archer (garrison so another chariot can explore) -> finish Barracks -> Units. and NOT BUILD the MoM. Concur?

I favor a temple, for the priest slot.
3) In Clams I'm whipping in the courthouse when I can and then slow building units. Again NO to the Shwedagon and MoM yes? I kind of like the idea of building the SP somewhere for fail gold, but can easily be talked out of it if we'd rather have everyone on troop duty.
Agree.

Build the army first. I don't think MoM is in any danger yet, and it will be a while before our first golden age.
Turn 140: Meet Saladin. He's the Hindu founder and he's pretty pissed (+1 years of peace, -3 heathen). He's got Feudalism and Construction on us and we've got everything else on him (medi, ph, aesth, calendar, currency, MC, compass). Saldin and SB are at +5 and +8, both pleased with each other.
Knew it! 
May I take the opportunity to also suggest switching EP onto another target?
Brennus will die soon, so all of our EP will be wasted! Perhaps what we have, we could use to create a revolt in a city, so that we can take key city in one turn? Or even steal a tech possibly?

1) Dumb question. To perform counter espionage, do I have to go to a city of Brennus'? How do I perform counter espionage. (I'm so ashamed).
2) Support city revolt is currently at 663 for Brennus and we have 211 on him. So I think we should be able to accumulate enough (we're getting +8 right now) to support a city revolt. I'll wait for a consensus before ending the turn.

Don't worry about moving the spy. That would be part of the war, not during your turnset.
I'm not sure whom we should focus our espionage on. Perhaps Saladin is a good choice.

Concur, no cottages in Zhou
1) I'm putting all EP on Saladin.
2) Ramesses has 70 gold in the bank and will give it to us for Literature. I'm inclined to gamble one more turn and see if we can get more for it. Would you rather me sell it now? It doesn't look like it will take any time off getting to Astro. (Edit: This is true, it won't speed up Alpha)
3) Are we sure about MoM. We could potentially use an "early game" GP for a twelve turn golden age and a revolt into HR, Vassalage, and Theocracy saving us two turns of anarchy.

I wouldn't sell Literature for less than 100, especially since we don't know who his worst enemies are.
I'm not sure about MoM, but I know we would rather have the units now. It would suck to get MoM but be too slow to build an army and find longbows defending...

Sorry, was dropping my daughter to school and getting to work.
Yes, start on units. I think we want 1 spear and x-bows.
And yay, Saladin!!
