Not yet (and I have tried). RRRRas suggested complete reinstallation but I'm not sure how to do that without losing current solo games.
Your have your saves in your document folder. Just make a copy of the folder and you will be fine. I have had no problem transferring my saves to new computers.
Plan overview
Settle S1 in place
Settle S7 1S
research mysticism, AH, sailing
S7 city builds worker
S1 city builds work boat for scouting and returning in time for border expansion, then monument,
Yes, I was missing something. I think AP is the preferred victory. Which mean we need to build Eiffel Tower. Maybe conquest is a better option.
Looked at both the tests. Agree that both approaches are viable, but would definitely opt for settling S1 in place, IF we are not going to settle a fourth city to the NW. Why did you not test this?
I have tested this but was not very happy with it. It cost 5+ gold a turn and did not do much to contribute. I do not see it as being a viable city later as it has no good tiles to grow into. If you have an idea on how to make it work please play a test game. I may have missed something, but at the moment I feel we should explore further NW and see if there is a good site by the second clam.
Understood. Then I'd opt for settling S1 in place.
Also, suggest you take only one extra turn to send S7 1E,!NE, as that tile could be a city site with seafood, wheat, and furs, plus that move at least will help reveal more of the map.

Makes sense. I will make a PPP tomorrow and can play on Wednesday. How many turns should I aim for? To me it feel way to unclear where the game is going to play 20 turns, but maybe 5 turns is doable. If I find a spot with two food resources maybe I should stop and we can discuss settling.
By all means play on Wednesday. Don't see any issues worth delaying for. Would like others to comment, but I'd be happy for you to go until you come to a meaningful decision point.

Perhaps you should pause when the Sailing/AH issue arises. What we have found in the interim of exploration could well affect how critical Sailing will be.
Curious . . . Did you test settling Tulosa 2NE to include the fish (understand it's existence is unknown) in the fat cross? If so, how did it compare?
If there is much land to explore, suggest we eat the maintenance cost and have S2 help explore it.

I have not tested with any resources that we have not found in the real game.
I do not think we need to decide on Sailing or AH before turn 18-20 something. Which one we put 10 turns of 1 research should not make a big difference.
Not many comments here, I guess I will play tonight unless someone has more to discuss. I would have hoped someone had comments on the micro.

Did you mean to say 'deer' in the NW?
Double clam city is certainly worth considering. Of course, need to check out the possibility of a triple clam city before deciding.
What is causing Vienne to want to defect at this point?
Is it not the case that founding more cities will make Sitting Bull less threatening?
Not sure what needs to be tested before another turn or two.
