The AI rarely researches literature, so we will be able to trade it when we want to.
Why did you build the city in grasslands? We have many hills in that area and little grasslands, so its better to build a city on hills so we have more grasslands to use for it. Also this way there are tiles in those hills next to the river we don't have acces to. It is ok if i give advise and people think and do differently. but noobe even comments on it or anything, it seems to be simply ignored. Oh well, i'll just play my 10 turns and not expect any more discussions.
About the archer: with militaristic civs, i prefer to build barracks first before making any units that you ever expect to fight. I also try to build as few as possible warriors without barracks since veterans might be upgraded someday. (i never upgrade a regular unit).
